Daffodowndilly's Peachtober Drawings 2025

October 9, 2025 Becky Woolley

This year I will mostly be working to the Peachtober prompt list by Sha'an d'Anthes from Furry Little Peach .

Peachtober and Inktober in general is such a lovely way to try new things, practice and just have fun and not take anything too seriously.

Here is the prompt list I'll be working from this year:

Day 2 - Kite

A late entry to #peachtober25 's day 2 prompt of kite! I loved flying a kite so much as a child and teen, might have to revisit! #peachtober25kite

Day 3 - Slug

Day 3 of #peachtober25 - Slug. So I've chosen a rainbow sea slug, one of which has recently been spotted in a Falmouth rock pool! #peachtober25slug

Day 5 - Poppy

Day 5 of #peachtober25 - Poppy. I've gone with one of my favourites, the Welsh Poppy. #peachtober25poppy

Day 6 - Ring

Day 6 of #peachtober25 - ring. So I've gone for a fairy ring of mushroom/fungi. I've seen a few already this Autumn and it is always a lovely surprise to come upon! #peachtober25ring

Day 8 - Leaf

Day 8 of #peachtober25 - Leaf. I decided to do my favourite type of leaf which is an oak leaf. I felt it looked a bit bare so I looked up if there were any insects or butterflies that were associated with oaks and the Purple Hairstreak Butterfly came up! It looks a very Halloween appropriate butterfly and I've drawn a female which has these very pretty purple streaks on her wings.

Apparently a single oak tree can support a whole colony of these butterflies!

I've gone for an Autumnal leaf colour but this was a bit of artistic licence as the adult butterflies are mainly around during July, August and September. #peachtober25leaf

Day 10 - Critter

Day 10 of #Peachtober25 is critter. I struggled to think what to draw for this one so I decided to draw a common blue damselfly as they are stunning to see in Summer.

Day 11 - Seagull

Day 11 of #peachtober25 is seagull so I’ve drawn a black headed gull in its Winter plumage, so different to how they look in the Summer. #peachtober25seagull

Day 12 - Bark

Day 12 of #peachtober25 is bark. So i’ve drawn our little ball obsessed collie and her ’throw it’ face! #peachtober25bark

Day 13 - Marble

Day 13 of #peachtober25 is marble. I loved marbles as a child and still love them now, so pretty, delicate and all mini works of art. I’ve drawn 3 with the vibrant colours I remember from my own collection. #peachtober25marble

Day 16 - Hatch

Day 16 of #peachtober25 is hatch. I’ve tried to make the nest look like it it perched in the crook of a branch and I’ve not totally succeeded but nevermind (done is better than perfect mindset)! #peachtober25hatch
