Inktober 2025 – Final Installment – Wildlife

Posted by Free Spirit Meg on

Another year of Inktober has come and gone. I’ll have to admit, I was a little distracted for this years challenge. I am more focused on other areas of my artwork at the moment so Inktober was not at the top of my priority list.

However, I was still able to complete 18 sketches. Some of them I am very happy with. I think I will continue to work them into a bigger final project. I will probably add a few of these to my shop as canvas prints as well. They will go great with my Endangered Species Collection from last years project!

These last four sketches were done in pencil. I wanted to work in a more comfortable medium and pencil is always my go-to.

  • Day 15 – “Ragged” – Aye Aye
  • Day 16 – “Blunder” – Giant Panda
  • Day 17 – “Ornate” – Bower Bird
  • Day 18 – “Deal” – Emperor Penguin

Here is the entire 2025 collection together. Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for following along with this year’s challenge. I hope every one had a fun and safe Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead or whatever you like to celebrate towards the end of October!

Stay wild, free spirits!
