INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.25 IS “SOLSTICE”
Artists, sharpen your nibs and adjust your sundials — this week, we’re heading straight into the cosmic tug-of-war that is the SOLSTICE! Whether you're basking in the endless daylight of summer or brooding through the mysterious gloom of winter, this prompt invites you to explore the extremes. It’s the moment when the sun shows off (or totally ghosts us), and nature leans into its dramatic flair. Perfect inspiration, if you ask us.
Think ancient rituals, celestial alignments, seasonal transformations, or that one crow who definitely knows too much. Want to ink a snow-drenched forest at midnight? Go for it. Prefer a sun-drenched stone circle with suspiciously symmetrical shadows? We’re here for that, too. Whether you gravitate toward the mystical, the natural, or the just plain weird, solstice is your chance to let light and darkness battle it out on the page.
Remember, Inktober 52 is all about returning to the basics: ink, paper, and pure creative energy. No pressure to go digital or fancy — just you, your pen, and the vast universe doing something cool twice a year. So tilt that metaphorical Earth of yours and get drawing — because the solstice waits for no one.
