Since 2018, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of October each year as it marks the beginning of the Inktober challenge! This is the time when I unleash my imagination to create a unique illustration every day for an entire month.

It started with simple ink animals back in 2018, to Tarotober in 2020, to Witchtober in 2021, and finally Magicktober in 2022 and 2023.

I've been creating my own prompt lists for the last two Magicktobers, so other artists can join me in the challenge and share our passion for creativity together.

Here are my 31 paintings for this year, with the prompt list at the end if you ever need inspiration for next year!

    I used micron fineliners for the outline, Van Gogh watercolor half pans for the painting and white and golden ink from Winsor&Newton for details :)

    Threeleaves, did you illustrate the Saga of Rex in the graphic novels "Flight" some time ago? Because I loved that series and this really looks like you have the same respect and reverence for nature and creatures shown there. Either way, I love these paintings, they are amazing.

    These are so beautiful, such a sweet and dainty style and wonderful colors and shading. I wish I could buy a book of them!
