In October 2024, I tackled Inktober (this popular art challenge where you draw with inks every day of October, and you can follow a prompt list to help you find inspiration) for the second time. The year before, I had tried following one of the daily prompt lists, but quickly felt overwhelmed with the variety of subjects and the limitations of my drawing abilities. In 2024, following advice from fellow artists, I used a weekly prompt inspired by nature (which is way closer to my comfort subjects). Week 1: Rocks. Week 2: Trees. Week 3: Animals. Week 4: Flowers. And Mountains for the remaining days. I picked my own reference photographs and dived right into it! I kept the drawings short, with a basis of pen / ink, but also added other media when I felt like it. I’m super happy with how most of these look like, and really enjoyed doing this challenge.
