Here is this year's prompt list for easy reference for those who need it. Only a few days to go! :)

It's so hard to think of something exotic, what's exotic to me is dead normal to someone else. In the end I decided orchids are exotic to me, and I always want to try and draw one.. so there :)

...I'm never going to artistically recover from this.

The Paper Kite butterfly from Southeast Asia. Not many people know that its distinctive markings evolved to allow it to blend in with Bachelorette parties.

Inktober Day 3: Boots

I am not sorry.

Yeah I'm only drawing one man

Freehand

Thought I’d try to make a map. It’s a lot more work than I anticipated :)

Ink and watercolor.

Just realized that I forgot his tail!

They turned out a bit shorter and stouter but overall very satisfied with the result!

This one definitely could've benefited from a value pass. Definitely one to revisit in November.

Forgot to post this yesterday!

Don't mind how horrendous the perspective and line work is. I did this high at 3am.

Attempted to write ‘boots’ with the laces and work backward 😂

Yeah I didn't have much time today.

Also, I'm sorry for the content

Really is fun sketching! Overworked a bit. Freehand.

I dunno, but I drew this out in ink from actual tidal and lunar data at the end of September, in ink, to half-ass program my Casio WS-1300H wristwatch tide predictions. Way easier said than done.

The data is very region specific, but I noticed a pattern for the month of October, and assumed that there might be an eclipse sometime during October.

Apparently I was right. Today, October 2nd, Easter Island had a solar eclipse.

I had no idea that it was 'Inktober' when I wrote and drew all this out. It's just meant to determine timing data. I don't even do things like this in ink, but I felt it necessary this time.

If the right column doesn't seem to make much sense initially, I totally understand. I know what numbers I stuck where.

Sorry this isn't exactly artwork in any conventional sense, but if anyone wants to better understand my chart, I'll try my best to answer any questions.

Mods, I hope this post is okay here, but if not, I understand.

Exploring ideas for today's theme, none really inspired me. Coping mechanism kicked in : Exploration is part of discovery, those are ink drawings. Well done Kaput post that shit to Inktober. Now if someone discover something in it, I'll be validated.

I don’t often shade with brush pens, and I’m rusty on my lining, but I had fun

I don't have a lot of time, or skill. So unfortunately this is as good as you can expect from me :)

But I'll try to stick with it.

I had fun with this one, it’s a bit messy though

In my head there was a heavenly light pouring out from the grocery store.

I’ve never used my marker pen before so decided to try it out, I like the feel of it
