Ideas for drawing... Inktober

**edited to add ideas as they come in!

As some of you may remember, I have restarted drawing in the last few years, after many years absence.

It was the Inktober initiative that got me drawing again, where you do a different drawing each day, from a given prompt. October is fast approaching, I have the prompt list, but I’m struggling for ideas and inspiration.

Here’s the official prompt list:


....and here are my ideas so far (bold where I have a reference photo)

1 ring- chain ring/tree rings/ring-tailed lemur/fungi fairy ring
2 mindless - vandalism?
3 Bait - cheese?/chocolate
4 Freeze- frost pattern
5 Build - Lego bricks
6 husky- dog...
7 enchanted - cottage in forest clearing?
8 frail - a leggy seedling
9 swing - child’s tree swing/gibbon/pair of dancers
10 pattern- zebra
11 snow- Snowscape
12 dragon- dragonfly
13 ash - tree?
14 overgrown - brambles ?
15 legend - writing/ script/mountain capped with snow (legend of Glass Mountain)
16 wild- horse
17 ornament - simple piece of crockery
18 misfit - odd one out in a group
19 sling - catapult
20 tread - step/footprint
21 treasure - treasure map
22 ghost- shadow, Weimaraner
23 ancient- castle ruins, Irish school ruins
24 dizzy- Izzy, spinning?
25 tasty - cake?
26 dark - night sky with stars & moon/ or even the moon?
27 coat- cover?
28 ride - straight forest path?
29 injured - bird/broken branch
30 catch - fish
31 ripe- blackberry

Can you help with ideas?!
Would you like to join me in the challenge?!

 

I like the idea of Enchanted ... a spooky eerie forest, perhaps with a cottage ... or fairies. You do such wonderful detail Sian.

 

Or a tree's rings from a slice/cheese cut from a tree? I'll never find in time the images I took of cuts through a really old storm felled apple tree that showed all sorts of patterns, including one that looked like a face.

 

I like it, but I might be a little pushed for time... we’ll see

 

Oh, there’s an idea! And as I was looking through Pixabay for photos on tree rings, a ring-tailed lemur photo popped up! I’m spoiled for choice for the 1st Oct now!!

 

I've tried to pick out some of those you need ideas for.

1. It's that time of year....a fairy ring of toadstools.
5. Lego bricks.
8. A leggy seedling.
9. A child's garden swing.
17. A simple piece of crockery.
18. Something that may be the odd one out in a group.
19. Catapult.
20. Footprint.
21. Coins.
26. Night sky with stars/moon.

 

Brilliant! Thank you!!

 

Ohh! Those are some different takes!! Thank you!
