Inktober 2025 Wrap up

On November 20, 2025 By MelIn Art, Artworks 2025, inktober2 Comments

Inktober! I made it! After missing out on it last year, it was great to have done it again. I got a bit delayed there in the and due to travel preparations, but hey, the journey is the goal.

So what did I learn? Don’t worry so much about the outcome and let loose and have fun with it. I also got a lot faster in sketching maybe 10 min, inking 10-20 min. All in all, great practice as always. Now I am ready to tackle more of my other projects. How about you? What are you working on?

Have a wonderful day!

Inktober Day 31 – Award

Last but not least, the best award of all, the Golden Plover or Lóa as it is called in Icelandic.

Winter is coming so it is time for the Lóa to fly south. The birds will stay south until late spring. They will return to Iceland when summer starts. There is even a song about: Lóan er komin (The Golden Pover has arrived)

The crown turned out rather awkward I have to admit.

Inktober Day 30 – Vacant

Slowed down and went blank just before the finishing line. I eventually ended up having fun with this one and added coloured ink to it.
Gone south, that will be the theme soon.

Inktober Day 29 – Lesson

I am on a reading mission to read at least one book a month. So far so good. Just finished Jean-Paul Sartre’s Nausea last night.
What are you reading right now?

A week late to the party. Anyway, darkness is upon us. The days are getting shorter by a few minutes each week.

Do you like onions? Onion pie in the autumn is the best!
10 min pencil sketch and 10 min for inking…

Somehow this prompt idea came quickly. Let me be your light. The days are getting shorter pretty quickly here.

Yes, so I have been drawing double. And forgot to post the last couple of days. The month is almost over! How did this happen?

What’s next?

I have been in a drawing mood lately and thought it is about time to add some new prints to my Etsy shop.

But what should I add?

Let me know in the poll below.

Here is a best off (at least my favourites) of Inktober so far. There are a few more to come.

Weekend mood!

Inktober Day 18 – Deal

I didn’t know which one to draw, so I did two. Deal?

Weekend is almost upon us. I will use the time to draw some more. Maybe add a few new drawings to my Etsy shop too.

Pinguins are fun to draw and perfect subject for ink.

Good morning beautiful people! Who’s a pretty boy?

Maybe I should draw more llamas. Here is the first one in case you missed it.

Want a llama staring at you? Check out this downloadable print.

And the sketch.

I was rather stuck with this one and had no idea what to draw….
How is your Inktober going?

After a couple of days feeling low I had a drawing spree last night where I caught up with all the prompts and I am now quite happy again with the latest outcomes. This one not quite sure…

Meanwhile I am also pondering what new drawings to make for my Etsy shop. Any suggestions?

Inktober Day 14 – Trunk

Yes, somehow I always end up doing 2 sketches per day because I cannot decide what to draw… That’s the reason I am slightly behind.
Happy Monday!

I realised I have been may more drawings than I thought, as for some days I have been drawing 2 instead of one picture.
Not sure what this little lady has in her glass…. I have my coffee. Black.
