Do you love drawing nature? So do these amazing artists, who drew every single day for a whole month!
This year, we once again hosted CC Inktober, our own nature-themed version of Inktober—a month-long drawing challenge originally created by artist Jake Parker to help people practise drawing everyday, experiment creatively and share their work online. For #CCInktober2025, we put together a list of 31 drawing prompts based on the wonders of the natural world. Artists from across our community took on the challenge, and for every day in October, they drew an artwork based on our prompts!
The idea is simple: make a little art every day, stretch your imagination, and discover new things about nature as you observe and create. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who took part—your creativity made this challenge truly special!
Make your own daily drawing calendar!
You don’t have to wait until October to practise daily drawing! By making a drawing calendar using our prompt list, you can start any month of the year:
- Print and cut out the calendar below.
- On the dotted line, write the name of the month you want to use for your daily drawing practice.
- Check which day of the week that month begins on, and starting in the first row, write the dates along with the matching prompts from the list as shown in the example below. Fill in these details for each day of the month.
- Pin up your Daily Drawing Calendar somewhere you’ll see it every day, and you’re ready to begin!
- Using a blank notebook or sheets of paper, and your favourite drawing materials, make a drawing everyday inspired by the day’s prompt.
