Inktober 2025 Drawings

Every year, the drawing event of Inktober has me looking forward to the fall as I time when I can re-commit to making creativity and specifically drawing part of my daily life again. This Inktober event was started by Jake Parker years ago, and has a pretty simple set of rules, following the themes set for each day in October. 'Mustache' was the kick-off this year for Day 1, which was a fun way to start...

(I don't think that I will post all of the images here, just a few of my favorites)

Day 3 was 'Crown', so I did not want to be too obvious, but also not get too complicated on an early day. I have these great little watercolor card that first came in handy for this, with a generous amount of India ink.

About at day 6 for 'Pierce' I remembered that simple shapes can allow you to make a complex subject quickly...
