🌈 2025 Jesstober Prompt List ✨

It's here! My very first Inktober-inspired prompt list, which I'm calling in Jesstober! 🍎

Aaaaaa happy days, this is so exciting! 

Wait wait wait, what's Inktober? 

Artist Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It was a list of 31 subjects to draw for all 31 days in October. It blew up on Instagram and Tumblr, and since then it's grown into a worldwide endeavour with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. 

Oh cool! So what makes Jesstober different? 

So I've decided to do something a bit different, it's a little open-ended and it's up to your interpretation how you want to want to take the list because 31 days is A LOT. You can choose one topic and draw once a week, or 3 times a week, or merge all topics and make it one drawing! I deliberately made this list to be open, chill, and hopefully burnout-friendly 😅 

I would love for you join me over at Instagram where I'll be posting my work in October!

〰️RULES〰️

🌈 You can choose one topic and draw once a week, or 3 times a week, or merge all topics and make it one drawing!
🌈 Tag your art @jessthechen and #jesstober25 so I can share in my stories over on Instagram
🌈 Share the prompt list on the second slide when you post your art so others can join in too!

Also if you tag me in your art, it would mean more eyes on your art and potentially new admirers for you which I would love nothing more for you 💕

As for me, I'll be doing 3 drawings a week based on each topic. Or not. Maybe I will do one drawing merging two topics from that week. That's the beauty of #jesstober25 💕 This is so exciting, and I hope you will join me for two, three or all! 

Hope to see your beautiful interpretations of my chosen subjects ✨
