inktober 2023 (੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭✩‧₊˚ prompt lists

[rosetti]

It's that time of year again!

The purpose of this is purely for inspiration and fun, there's zero pressure to do something everyday. I love seeing what other people create and how they interpret a prompt. Below are multiple inktober lists I have seen this year that I'm planning to combine or pick and choose from - if you see any others or would like to make your own, pop it in a post and I'll add it here ✩‧₊˚

Pretty sure that icon in the lower left is just covering it, but, prompt number 11 of the second one with the rabbit and fox on it is "thorny," right?

 

[jadetine]

Thanks so much for compiling these prompts! I think I'm going to attempt a mix of lists on different days, with a focus on characters. I'm traveling for 4 days in October, so I need to go easy on myself. I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with!

 

[Ravenkitty22]

Thanks for making this thread! I’m doing a different challenge based on the Riordanverse (I’ve been hyperfixating on Percy Jackson lately). I don’t know if there are any big PJ fans on here, but I’ll still post the list in case anyone’s interested.

ooh, thank you for posting these! i’ve never participated in inktober before, and was thinking of giving it a go this year. i don’t see me being able to draw every day without severely burning myself out, and i’ll likely mix and match prompts from each list, but i’m hoping to be able to crank at least a few inktober drawings out!

i’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!

 

[Dinosaur]

Ooooooh I LOVE this idea! I've never heard of inktober before but it sounds perfect for working on my drawing skills. I probably wont be able to draw everyday but hopefully I can get a few done. So excited to see everyones creations!

 

[Foreverfox]

Thank you for posting these! My ambitious self wants to do all of them lol 2, 3, 4, and 5 are my favorites!

 

[Drawdler]

I’m not sure if I’m going to participate but good luck and have fun to everyone

 

[Ravenkitty22]

Quick question: Will this become the inktober general thread or is it just prompt lists?

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I really love your idea of combining multiple prompt lists!!!!! I usually make my own prompt list but I think this year i'm just gonna do basic sketches for the most part every day. I gotta work on my figure drawing.

 

[rosetti]

Quick question: Will this become the inktober general thread or is it just prompt lists?

I was going to post my creations here and anyone is welcome to, I didn’t want to title the thread as anything official/general because I wanted it to be as laidback as possible

 

[rosetti]

unfortunately I’ve been ill : ( so I’m dipping my toes in with todays day 8 ‘critters’ prompt
