The fourth annual Cosmere Inktober is just around the corner, and we are excited to share the 2022 prompt list! If you are not familiar with Inktober, it was started as a challenge to practice inking and drawing habits over an entire month. This challenge is a personal journey for artists to follow set prompts and improve on drawing skills but has become a worldwide event with many different versions of prompt lists and themes. This year I have created a list of Cosmere-themed prompts and am posting it early to give fan-artists time to plan ahead! The rules are simple: Make a drawing in ink (or any medium you wish) Post it on social media (or on your fridge) Hashtag with #CosmereInktober2022 (you can also use #CosmereInktober and #CosmereInktober22) Repeat for 31 days! (or more?!) These prompts and rules are not set in stone, feel free to create whatever you wish! Take as long or as short as you want for your creation. In past years, we have seen ink drawings, paintings, digital art, calligraphy, and poetry; the possibilities are endless. Just have fun and join the Cosmere community in creating wonderful fanworks for our favorite books! Please also note, this year’s prompt list was designed to look like a broadsheet to celebrate The Last Metal coming out, but don’t feel compelled to only do Mistborn fanart. It is open to fanart of any of Brandon Sanderson’s works! Happy Drawing! -FelCandy

Welcome to the third annual official Cosmere Inktober, which begins October 1st. If you are unfamiliar with Inktober, it is a month-long drawing challenge that focuses on ink-based mediums, traditional and digital alike. Every day of October, people from around the world draw their interpretations of that day's prompt. This year we have a Cosmere-themed prompt list available a month early, to give those of you who would like to participate a chance to plan out your daily drawings. The official rules from the Inktober website are: Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want) Post it Hashtag it (we are using the hashtags #cosmereinktober, #cosmereinktober21, and #cosmereinktober2021) Repeat These rules are not set in stone, so if you want to use any art medium, go for it! If you don’t want to post your artwork, that is ok! You can do as few or as many of the prompts as your heart desires. The challenge is to be consistent and form good habits with your artwork. Make something beautiful! If you would like to browse some of last year’s Cosmere Inktober, here is a link to a collection on Instagram, though Tumblr and Twitter saw a decent number of submissions last year too.

Get your hot cocoa, your favorite pen, and pull up the Official CosmereInktober prompt list, because it starts today! Every year in October, artists from around the world participate in a drawing challenge to complete 31 ink-based images based on various prompts. This month, there is a great official Cosmere-related prompt list curated by Isaac Stewart and a team of fans. You can find his announcement on Twitter and Instagram. This is the official CosmereInktober graphic, created by yours truly. If you have never participated in this challenge, here are the lenient rules. First, you want to use "ink" for this challenge, this can be india ink, ballpoint pen, digital ink brushes, marker, or any other type of ink delivery device. (And if you don't want to use ink, that is okay too, the more art the merrier!) Secondly, you want to post on social media using the hashtags #cosmereinktober and #cosmereinktober2020 so your artwork will be visible. That's it! You can do as little or as many prompts you wish, or go the traditional route and take it on one prompt per day. Fans of the series from all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to participate. If you would like to browse some of the wonderful offerings of last year's CosmereInktober, here is a link to a collection on Instagram. (Please note, this challenge is not associated with Jake Parker, the creator of Inktober. It is just a nice community art event that occurs every October!)
