1 Week Warm Up For Inktober 2025!

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.39 IS “LIBRA”

Balance your pens, artists, because this week’s Inktober 52 prompt is LIBRA! The sign of scales, symmetry, and seeking harmony, Libra is all about finding that perfect inky equilibrium. Maybe your drawing features a cosmic set of scales weighing galaxies against feathers. Maybe it’s a stylish zodiac goddess holding court among the stars. Or maybe you lean into the chaos of balance gone wrong, with a stack of teacups, tangled cats, or a pile of sketchbooks teetering dangerously high. Whether you take it mystical, literal, or completely off the rails, Libra gives you a playground for contrast, balance, and duality.

Inktober is always about getting back to basics, pen, paper, and ideas tipping the scales between neat lines and happy accidents. And speaking of timing, Inktober 2025 kicks off in just one week! So think of this as your creative warm-up lap before the full marathon of daily ink begins. Sharpen those nibs, stock up on sketchbooks, and let Libra remind you that balance is everything… at least until the ink starts flying. This week, draw boldly, balance wildly, and let your imagination find its own perfect center. 🖤

With A Side Of Avocado

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.38 IS “AVOCADO”

The green, buttery muse of brunches everywhere has officially taken over your sketchbook. Maybe you’ll ink a still-life worthy of a renaissance feast, or maybe you’ll let loose with a superhero Avocado smashing villains with the power of healthy fats. You could even go surreal: an avocado spaceship blasting through guacamole galaxies, or a pit that’s secretly a portal to another dimension. Whether ripe with humor or sliced with drama, this fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) is ready to inspire.

And here’s the pit at the center of it all: Inktober itself kicks off October 1, only a couple of weeks away! That means now is the perfect time to warm up, get those creative juices flowing, and shake the rust off your inky superpowers. Avocado is your reminder to keep things simple, back to basics: just pen, paper, and ideas ready to be mashed, smashed, and spread across the page. So get drawing, because the big inky feast is almost here. 🖤

Inky Creatures Of The Deep

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.37 IS “SQUID”

Ink lovers, rejoice, because this week’s Inktober52 prompt is SQUID! Few creatures are as perfectly suited for our inky challenge as these slippery, tentacled wonders. Picture the majestic deep-sea squid swirling through pitch-black waters, or maybe a cartoon squid juggling eight cups of coffee. Perhaps yours is a steampunk cephalopod with brass-plated suckers, or a cosmic squid floating between galaxies like it owns the place. You can go terrifying and monstrous, or charming and goofy. After all, squids are basically the shapeshifters of the sea.

Inktober is about getting back to the basics, pen, paper, and imagination stretching further than a squid’s longest arm. Forget the filters and fancy digital tricks! Let your lines twist, curl, and ink-splash across the page with as much chaos and grace as the real thing. A squid can be elegant, mysterious, or completely ridiculous (giant squid in a tiny teacup, anyone?). So dive deep, embrace the smudges, and let your art surface with something wild. This week, it’s time to ink like a squid and make a splash on your page. 🖤

Stitch by Stitch, Line by Line, Bring Your Doll to Life

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.36 IS “DOLL”

From porcelain beauties perched on dusty shelves, to handmade rag dolls with crooked smiles, to action figures that definitely saw more battles than the packaging promised, dolls come in every shape and vibe. Maybe yours is adorable and wide-eyed, maybe it’s cracked and haunted, maybe it’s a futuristic AI companion that blinks when you’re not looking. Go sweet, go spooky, go surreal, because dolls are tiny mirrors of humanity, and sometimes those reflections get a little unsettling.

Inktober is about going back to basics, pen, paper, and the raw act of creation without all the digital gloss. Dolls are perfect subjects for this, because they thrive in detail: stitched seams, glassy eyes, tangled hair, or plastic joints that just don’t bend quite right. Think about the stories your doll tells. Is it a cherished childhood friend? A forgotten relic in an attic? A mischievous character plotting its midnight adventures? This week, open the toy chest of your imagination and let ink bring your doll to life. Whether it smiles sweetly or stares into your soul, we can’t wait to see it on the page. 🖤

Virgo Season, Inky Reason

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.35 IS “VIRGO”

The sign of detail, precision, and a touch of perfectionism, Virgo is the zodiac’s neat freak with a secret wild side. Maybe your Virgo takes the form of a celestial maiden weaving constellations into her hair. Maybe it’s a mythological figure tending to an endless cosmic garden. Or maybe it’s a hilariously accurate portrait of that one friend who alphabetizes their spice rack and judges your line work with a raised eyebrow. Virgo energy can be pure, polished, and serene, or a little obsessive, fussy, and endearingly neurotic.

Inktober is all about getting back to basics, pen, paper, and the beauty of bold, imperfect lines. Which makes Virgo the perfect challenge. Can you channel precision while embracing smudges? Can you create order out of chaos, or chaos out of order? This is your chance to draw like the stars are watching, but laugh at yourself when the ink splatters anyway. From cosmic deities to over-organized sketchbook gremlins, let Virgo inspire you to create something equal parts meticulous and magical. This week, don’t just draw, make the universe proud of your inky horoscope. 🖤
