2025 Prompt List! Are you ready??!

Hello!

Here we go with year 17 of Inktober!

One of the things we love about Inktober is the creative mindset shift we get each year we do this. It reconnects us to our inner creative spark. And the hope of everyone of of us at Inktober is that this challenge can be a creative light to guide your artistic spirit over the next couple of months.

We can’t wait to see what you draw this year!

When we started it in 2009 there were a few goals in mind, and these have not changed over the years. The Inktober goals are:

• Help artists get better at drawing

• Help artists find other cool artists

• Help artists grow an audience for their work

Before we get to the prompt list, we'd like to thank these Inktober 2024 Partners who are closely aligned with our goals and are doing great things to benefit the Inktober community:

Kuretake (The best inking pens)

SVSlearn (The best online community for illustrators)

When you get a minute go check them each out.

ok...are you ready for the prompts?
