Not the one you're thinking of...
INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.21 IS “GEMINI”
Time to embrace your inner twin, double your ideas, and maybe argue with yourself about what to draw first. This prompt is all about duality—the cosmic kind, the human kind, or the kind that happens when you sketch something, hate it, and immediately start over.
For the zodiac fans, Gemini is the sign of the twins, full of curiosity, contradictions, and conversations (with yourself or others). It’s a symbol of dual perspectives, shifting identities, and seeing both sides of the story. So whether you go with mystical mirror images, doppelgängers, or two-headed creatures with attitude, there’s a lot to explore here.
And for the space nerds (we see you), Gemini was also the name of NASA’s pre-Apollo missions. Two astronauts squeezed into a capsule the size of a compact car, orbiting Earth and testing out the skills that would eventually land us on the Moon. It’s a beautiful metaphor for collaboration, tension, and trust—which also sounds a lot like trying to finish an Inktober prompt before midnight.
Remember, this challenge is about getting back to the roots of drawing: ink on paper, no fuss. It’s not about perfection. It’s about process, play, and giving yourself permission to try something bold (or strange… or both).
So go ahead—draw the stars, the astronauts, the mischief-makers, or that bizarre idea that only makes sense to you and your sketchbook. Just make sure you’ve got a pen in hand and some paper nearby. Gemini's calling, and it's got twice the inspiration.
Let’s get inky.
