"This prompt couldn’t be more fitting as we’re in the start of Aquarius season! The prompt opens the door to countless creative possibilities, from exploring zodiac-inspired designs to imagining water-themed illustrations that reflect Aquarius’s symbolism as the water bearer. You could dive into celestial patterns, draw a character embodying Aquarius traits like independence and innovation, or even craft a surreal underwater world. Whether you lean into astrology, mythology, or let your imagination flow freely, this week’s prompt is a great way to channel Aquarian energy into your art. Grab your pens and let the stars inspire you!"

"The rhythmic sound of a clock can spark countless creative ideas. Imagine the passage of time personified as an ancient creature, the hands of a clock transforming into a city skyline, or a surreal hourglass that spills dreams instead of sand. Let the steady tick-tock inspire scenes of suspense, nostalgia, or even urgency. From grandfather clocks to pocket watches, there’s a world of visual storytelling waiting to be unlocked.

Now, let’s twist time in another direction. With talks of a potential TikTok ban making headlines, it’s a perfect moment to reclaim those scrolling hours and channel them into art. Instead of losing yourself in an endless feed, why not create something that reflects the way social media eats up time? Draw a spiraling vortex of apps, or sketch a "TikTok hourglass" counting down to creative breakthroughs. Whether it’s the sound of a clock or the time spent on TikTok, this week’s prompt is your chance to turn fleeting moments into something timeless."

Ink52 Prompt 02 - SHRIMP (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by ink to c/inktober
 

"It’s time to let your creativity dive into the depths of inspiration! Shrimp can be drawn in so many imaginative ways: from realistic renderings of their intricate anatomy to cartoonish characters full of personality. You could illustrate a shrimp chef whipping up a seafood feast, a futuristic shrimp piloting a tiny submarine, or even a shrimp ballroom dance with another ocean critter! But why stop there? Shrimp are just one small part of the vibrant, mysterious world beneath the waves. Use this prompt to celebrate the ocean’s diversity—schools of fish shimmering in unison, coral reefs brimming with color, jellyfish pulsing like ethereal lanterns, and whales singing their deep songs. Let shrimp be your starting point, but let your art honor the vast, wondrous marine world they call home! 🦐"

The prompt for December 19th to the 25th is "Wrapped"!

"It’s all about capturing the act of wrapping in your art! Picture an ancient mummy entangled in dusty linen, a cozy scarf wrapping snugly around someone’s neck, or even a gift mid-wrap, with paper and ribbon spiraling into place. Maybe it’s nature’s version—a snake coiled tightly around its prey or vines wrapping around an abandoned building. Think beyond objects and explore how emotions or stories can be wrapped up in a scene.

And speaking of wrapping, as the year creeps toward its end, it’s time to think about your Inktober Wrapped! What would your art recap look like? A visual montage of your favorite prompts? A character design wrapped in the elements of your creative growth? Dive into this week’s prompt and wrap up something truly unforgettable! 🎨🖋️"

The prompt for December 12th to the 18th is "Gingerbread"!

"Let your imagination run wild as you explore the sweet, spiced possibilities of gingerbread! From intricate cookie houses adorned with candy to whimsical gingerbread characters that tell a story, there are endless ways to bring this theme to life. Maybe you'll illustrate a cozy gingerbread village nestled in powdered sugar snow, a daring gingerbread adventurer exploring a candy forest, or even a dramatic showdown between a gingerbread knight and a marshmallow dragon.

But why stop at the traditional? Switch it up! Picture futuristic gingerbread robots, edible spaceships crafted from sugar and spice, or even a reimagining of gingerbread as towering skyscrapers in a confectionery cityscape. Let the charm of gingerbread inspire you, but don’t be afraid to crumble the mold and bake up something completely unexpected! 🖋️✨"

The prompt for December 5th to 12th is "Krampus"!

"This week’s Inktober 52 prompt is here, and it’s time to get festive! Imagine a figure sneaking through the snow, a sack slung over their back, and a trail of little footprints leading to cozy chimneys. But wait—those aren’t reindeer hooves on the roof, and that sack isn’t full of toys…

Krampus is the ultimate “naughty list” enforcer, bringing a delightfully spooky twist to the holiday season! This horned, furry figure hails from Alpine folklore and traditionally tags along with St. Nicholas on December 5th, Krampusnacht. While jolly old St. Nick hands out treats to good children, Krampus wields his birch sticks and sack to dole out punishment to the naughty ones (or so the legend goes!). Once feared, Krampus has become a festive favorite in modern celebrations, with parades, costumes, and plenty of mischievous holiday cheer. Think of him as Christmas with a little extra bite!

This week’s prompt is KRAMPUS! Let your pens and brushes bring this dark, mischievous holiday legend to life. Will your Krampus be terrifying, mischievous, or just downright strange? Grab your sketchpads and let’s conjure some holiday havoc! 🎄👹"
