Did you know there are prizes to win by participating in Drawtober? As well as sharing work submitted to the
#drawtober
tag, we'll be picking one artist EVERY DAY who goes above and beyond with interpretation. Those chosen will receive: enamel pins, a Drawtober beanie, and more!
This is not why the challenge was created 4 years ago as It’s not about making money or gaining sponsorships, it’s about drawing inspiring prompts together with a community who also loves the spooky season and want to challenge themselves!
🕸️Why 6 prompts? October is our favorite time of the year and having to create something new everyday while fitting in pumpkin patching, haunted houses, spooky movies, and everything else fall has to offer was too much.
And we want to mention as hosts moving forward, that there is no longer/will never be a shop for this challenge and there will also be no promotions of our own prints and products. We will not use a community ran page and challenge to profit from personally in that way.
Throughout October we also decided to add fun elements that continue the feeling of this theme. So expect a little animation and some haunted music for each prompt along with tutorials on candle making, crafting corn husk dolls, Samhain mulled wine and more! 🕯️
Every medium is welcomed! We plan on sharing plenty of artists on our Twitter and Instagram and will reward artists EVERY DAY that flex their creative skills (more on prizes and giveaways later this week). 😈
This challenge will stay community driven and is meant for us artists to share creativity, inspiration, and the love of the season with one another. 🧡🖤

A look back at our previous 4 calendars! Switched from daily prompts to only 6 prompts in 2019 and starting theming the challenge back in 2020! Always fun looking back and seeing where we go next! 🎃
Prompt 6 Bonus · Soul Cakes
“Soul cakes have long been a traditional part of Samhain celebrations as a gift for the spirits of departed loved one."
The lovely recipe we used and additional info can be found here:
Host Post · Prompt 3 · Midnight Feast
For each of the 6 prompts we will also share our own creations to bookend when one ends and when the next begins. We're halfway through and you should be very proud of yourselves for getting this far!

Prompt 4 Bonus · Cornhusk Doll Folklore
Corn husk dolls have been made by Northeastern Native Americans since the beginnings of corn agriculture more than a thousand years ago. A type of Iroquois cornhusk doll was made in response to a dream. 👇
Prompt 3 Bonus · Samhain Wine 🍷
Let's brew a fall harvest wine with some spice and magic! "Upon the coming of Samhain, the Witches New Year, it is tradition to craft a magickal witches brew and use it as an offering to your ancestral spirits." -
Wicked Apothecary is done! This fox is a witch's familiar and is tasked with carrying her supplies, including hemlock, henbane and nightshade. The antlers can be removed and regrown at will, and its thigh pouch carries crystals and/or snacks!
