Ink and inkwash

"It’s all about big energy, bold hearts, and wandering spirits. Sagittarius is the adventurer of the zodiac! The archer aiming high, chasing meaning, truth, and whatever might be glowing just over the next horizon. You could explore centaurs and constellations, fiery arrows and star maps, or capture the feeling of movement, freedom, and curiosity itself. Think open roads, night skies, and that restless spark that always wants to learn more and go farther.

And since today is Thanksgiving, it’s also the perfect moment to pause and appreciate something pretty special: art and creativity. We’re grateful for the way drawing helps us see the world differently, slow down, and connect to ourselves and each other. As you draw this week, remember that Inktober is about getting back to the basics: simple tools, honest lines, and making art for the joy of it. So aim high, stay curious, and let your creativity be something you’re thankful for today and every day."

"This week’s Inktober 52 prompt is GOOSE, and honestly, it’s one of those prompts that can go in delightfully weird, whimsical, or wildly majestic directions, your choice! You could lean into the nostalgia of Mother Goose, letting classic nursery rhymes inspire soft, storybook-style illustrations. Or go full comedy with the classic silly goose, stumbling, honking, stealing snacks, wearing a hat it absolutely did not ask permission for… embrace the chaos! And we can’t forget the mighty Canadian goose, a creature capable of both elegant migration scenes and absolute park-dominance energy.

Whatever direction you choose, remember that Inktober is all about getting back to the basics. Simple lines, strong ideas, and letting your creativity flow without overthinking it. So grab your pen, loosen up, and let this goose prompt waddle, flap, or charge your imagination wherever it wants to go!"

#Inktober52 #Sneaker #ink #ink drawing #inksketch

"This week, think of SNEAKER as a little invitation to slow down and just enjoy making something. Grab whatever traditional tools you love, a simple pen, a favorite sketchbook, that inkwell you only pull out when you’re feeling fancy, or even that beat-up pencil you’ve had since forever. There’s something grounding about putting real ink on real paper, especially in the fall when everything feels a little nostalgic anyway.

Let SNEAKER take you wherever your memories or imagination want to go: the shoes you wore out as a kid, the pair you always wanted, a magical sneaker running through crunchy leaves, or just a quiet, cozy sketch that feels good to make.

No pressure. No rules. Just you, your tools, and a little creative moment in the middle of your week.

Use the hashtag #Inktober52SNEAKER so we can all cheer each other on. But most of all, enjoy the time slowing down and being creative.

Stay warm, stay inspired, stay inky!"

"We are still doing Inktober52! A creative challenge that keeps the ink flowing all year long. Each week, there’s one new prompt to inspire you to keep drawing, painting, or creating in whatever way you love most. It’s a slower pace, but the same creative spark, perfect for keeping your artistic momentum going strong.

And speaking of sparks… the Inktober52 prompt of the week is: SCORPIO

Let that inspire something bold, mysterious, or maybe even a little intense, whatever “Scorpio” means to you. Share your work using #Inktober52Scorpio and connect with others who are keeping the creative energy alive week after week.

You’ve already proven what you can do in 31 days. Now let’s see what you can do in 52 weeks.

Stay inky, The Inktober Team🖤"

2020 Sales Award

@ink@sh.itjust.works : I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on almost all of the submissions and for always finding something positive in the pictures. That's really encouraging. Thank you!

Final page with all the drawings. Strangely enough there is still some space left. Good job to everyone who participated!

Thanks for sharing your art here in the last month and special thanks to @ink@sh.itjust.works for organising the whole thing!

I always enjoy anthologies, where you can see the different interpretations of various people or in contrast similar thought patterns as seen with the Deal day. I'm looking forward to next year!

This is it! Day 31!

Thank you to everyone that's participated and made Inktober 2025 such a memorable event! You all deserve an award! :)

Extra accolades go to those who've navigated the grind and successfully submitted art for all 31 daily prompts! That's not an easy feat, to which those of us have yet to hit 31 submissions may attest. However, if you've participated in this Inktober and have interacted with our little community at all, whether that be posting a sketch or leaving a kind comment, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and hope to see you continue to interact and grow with us here on /c/Inktober.

If you've enjoyed being a part of this daily month-long main event and would like to continue being a part of this community in some capacity, we also host "Inktober 52." where we post a prompt for each week of the year in-between October events. Whether you post weekly, semi-weekly, or just simply browse what others have submitted and leave a comment or two, we look forward to your contribution.

That said, it's the last day of October, so whether you celebrate Halloween or not in your part of the world, we hope you commemorate the last day of our event by kicking back with a treat or two, and pampering yourself with the grace and kindness you deserve. :)

So that's it! As always, you’re free to create a separate post for your own stuff if you wish, or you can post it as a comment below (though I'd advise creating a separate post to maximize visibility.) We will corral any individual posts and post them here as a comment when possible. Rinse and repeat.

Rules:

1. Please remember to be kind. All skill levels are welcome here.
2. AI art is not allowed.
3. Submissions must be based on the daily prompt, but either traditional or digital mediums are welcome.

Thank you in advance, and let’s continue to have fun! :)

I did it! Thanks everyone for the encouragement along the way. Especially to ink@sh.itjust.works our host, for being both incredibly talented and unfailingly generous with feedback.

Turns out this required much more space (or a smaller pen) but oh well.
