Daffodowndilly's Inktober Posts for 2023
Becky Woolley
Like last year, there are a variety of brilliant sounding Inktober style prompt lists that sounded really interesting to try and draw this month so I decided to attempt prompts from a few different lists, choosing my favourite prompt each day.
Inktober is such a lovely way to try new things, practice and just have fun and not take anything too seriously.
Here's a collection of the prompt lists I'll be working from this year:
Daffodowndilly's Inktober Posts for 2023
Day 1 - Peachtober - Bee
I love all the types of bee but my favourites are always the impossibly fluffy bumble bees.
There are 24 species of bumble bee in the UK and both the Wildlife Trust and The Bumblebee Conservation Trust have brilliant photos and diagrams showing how to identify between them.
Day 2 - Peachtober - Cosmos
Day 3 - Peachtober - Sweet
Day 3 of #peachtober - Sweet
I've interpreted it as a sweet treat and drawn one of my favourite types of cake - Victoria sponge.

Day 4 - Peachtober - Grub
Day 4 of #peachtober is Grub, so I've drawn chafer grubs (June Bug lavae).
Day 5 - Peachtober - Sprig
A late day 5 of #peachtober - Sprig, in this case a sprig of rosemary.
Day 6 - Peachtober - Eye
Day 6 of #peachtober - Eye.
I've gone with a hurricane eye or eye of the storm theme.
Day 7 - Forestober- Badger
I've switched to a #forestober prompt for today which is badger, so here's an autumnal badger against a golden sky.

Today's drawing is from the #inktober prompt list for Day 8 - Toad.

Day 9 - Calmtober- Bird
Day 9 of #calmtober is Bird. So I decided to do a long tailed tit, I drew this last night and this morning there were about 7 of them in the birch tree next to our house! Always such a joy to watch.
Day 10 - Forestober- Insect
Day 12 - Melotober- Brew
Day 14 - Melotober- Frog
Day 15 - Peachtober - Weather
Day 15 of #peachtober - Weather.
So I've drawn a fox in a snowstorm.
Day 15 - Calmtober - Chestnuts
A shiny conker still in its case for #calmtober 's day 17 prompt of chestnuts.
Have you seen any conkers around yet?
