Daffodowndilly's Peachtober Drawings 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 6 - Ring
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
