Moth - Hauntober
Hot tip, draw for yourself. That includes how you draw! If you’re drawing line arts one day, theres nothing wrong with switching it up to painting or traditional, or abstract. It all depends on what you’re feeling at the moment. Otherwise you’ll drive yourself mad.
With one week to go till the month of Halloween, we’re well and truly in the guts of the gruesomest season. You absolutely murdered Hauntober last year (in the best possible way). Now, it’s back for revenge in its latest guise of the month-long prompt challenge: Hauntober Returns.
Every Monday in October, we’ll be releasing a new set of narrative prompts to inspire the drabble dabblers, artists, shitposters, and hobbyistas among us. If you’re a scaredy-cat like us, have no fear—each set will include a spooky and a cozy prompt for you to choose from. (Or, you know, feel free to venture down both dark alleyways each week, if you dare.)
We’re summoning the season of crunchy leaves with this appropriately woodsy and autumnal spell ~🌲🍁🌳~ Here are your first prompts:
It’s the beginning of October. A stranger emerges from the forest.
OR
The streets are empty and there have been whispers about a gathering in the woods.
Manifest your response to our missives: create a creature, a costume, or a creepypasta, use the tag #Hauntober Returns, and we’ll share them with you goblins here on @fandom, @art, and @books.
Calling all Artists on Tumblr! Time to get spooky (or cozy). Or do both, challenge yourself! 🎃
Hauntober day 17: Owl. This painting was a gift, just a little piece 5 x 7 inches. I learned that artists who specialize in painting birds have a lot of patience - feathers are quite difficult! Probably something that I’d get accustomed to in time if I did a lot of it, but a real challenge nonetheless.
It’s week 3 of Hauntober, and we’ve got more creepy-crawly challenges to inspire your creativity. This week’s prompts focus on frightening, furry, and fierce creatures—so bust out your sketch pad or notebook and unleash the wilderness within! Don’t forget to use the #Hauntober tag when you post your chilling critters!
Two weeks ago, we announced the full list of spectacularly spooky Hauntober prompts so you gremlins could plan and prep your doodles, drabbles, and designs. You’ve got a few more days to get your ghoulish gear in order before the official start of Hauntober—here are the challenges for week 1. Don’t forget to use the #Hauntober tag so everyone can see and share your creepy creations!
Alas, the final week of Hauntober is here, along with the last six of our sublimely spine-tingling prompts. But never fear, ‘cos Halloween is almost here! We’ve seen plump pumpkins and pulsing potions, wayward witches, and their creepy critters—but this week is all about the monsters! You heard us: Get your pens, inks, keyboards, and costumes ready, and share your frightening franken-fiends with us all using the #Hauntober tag. As always, have a spooky (and safe) Halloween!
