Inktober prompts #15-21
Added 2019-10-15 01:01:08 +0000 UTCWe're halfway through October, which means the trees are putting on a magnificent colour show here in Southern Ontario, and that Josh is almost halfway done with Inktober! It's taking a lot of time (~3h each day) but he says it's really good practice for black and white paintings, and that he's already seeing himself improve.
I hope you're enjoying his drawings, and if you do, you should also check out the hashtag #falsetober on Instagram - a few artists have chosen to follow along with Josh's prompt list and it's been amazing seeing all the art that comes out of this exercise!
You can see the next set of prompts (and our cat Lady flying out of Josh's lap according to the video's still) in the video above, or just keep on reading:
15. Quokka - Kat, Steve, Wendy J Gross, and Andi Watson
16. Kookaburra - Wendy J Gross
17. Bantam hen - Lorraine McCrory
18. Loggerhead shrike - Kat
19. White-bellied Caique - Amura-Of-Jupiter
20. Grey Jay - Kelsey Lee
21. Alligator - Marie Howlett
Next week he'll draw the last 10 prompts for the remainder of the month, so if you have any more requests, do put in a comment in this post :)
Wishing you a happy Canadian Thanksgiving, and a great rest of the month! 🍁

Hey, long time lover of your comics, so I figured what better time to start contributing that now. I would love to see either a Northern Saw-whet owl, which is a bird I'm going to help band this fall, or a Grey Catbird, who Is just one of my favorites, i look forward to seeing what you make the rest of the month, loving all of them!

2019-10-21 17:02:27 +0000 UTCIdk how to do a suggestion but I'd really love to see your style of a bumblebee, I feel like they're so underrated as they aren't seen as "essential" like a honey bee, but they're so adorable and still contribute to life etc, so if possible would love to see a bumblebee x

2019-10-19 23:46:17 +0000 UTCI'm not sure how to submit a suggestion but I love English/Eurasian Magpies and would love you to draw one. You see them frequently in British cities, almost always in pairs, in fact one on it's own is said to be unlucky - "one for sorrow, two for joy" - there are so many superstitions around them, many people here salute a lone one and don't even know why but it seems right. Do you guys do that too I wonder? Corvidae are so smart and can be brutal but I do love the beautiful clever magpie.
