Another Fishy Prompt

But this one comes in a can!

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.28 IS “SARDINES”

Artists, grab your pens, brace your sketchbooks, and tighten up, because this week’s Inktober 52 prompt is SARDINES—yes, the famously squishy, suspiciously shiny little fish that know a thing or two about togetherness.

Whether you’re packing them in a tin or cramming them into a metaphor for your morning subway commute, sardines are the ultimate lesson in spatial economy (and oily commitment). Think of this as your chance to explore negative space, tight compositions, and the undeniable charm of something that looks like it smells. Will your sardines be crammed and cranky? Fancy and fashionable? Leading a revolution against the can? Up to you, Picasso!

As always, this is ink and paper—no frills, no filters, just you and your pen, reconnecting with the raw, slippery joy of drawing. So crack that tin of inspiration, take a whiff of weirdness, and let's get sketching. After all, what’s more basic—and brilliant—than a fish with an attitude?
