#Inktober is a tradition of a month of drawing prompts for October at the rate of one a day for 30 days. We're going to try less than that since the war just ended. Five in a row is my best, how many can you do?

Simple, quick gestures are all you need. The point is to get a drawing tool in your hand and use it without worry of hours of preparation, drawing and rendering (it’s okay now, the war is over!) You may use AI references but these are easy prompts and your interpretation. By all means explain your drawing in the comment box if you like, especially if abstract. You are more than free to leave it public if PG13, but stick to the basic maturity rules though. If a commission artist would likely charge you extra for that, maybe not send that in. K?

But I have a big ask. Inktober is also about community. Would you mind posting it in the #art-chat tagged as #darktober in discord? It doesn't matter if you spend 5 minutes or an hour - be proud that you did it, and show your support for others that may also be shy.

Rules:
* Simple gesture is acceptable, a dot is not
* No commitment to all just to participate in parent comp
* Prompts below are for those days only
* Traditional or digital, ink not required
* PG13 or uncheck public
* AI for reference only
* Just have fun!

Scoring:
* No harsh judging, and will be blind graded
* We will use the Rubric for placement
* Participation grants one point. Placement grants 4 points for 1st, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd
* Most points at the end of the month will win awards.
