Hey friends,

saying hello from my summer holidays in Greece - plus I wanted to share this year's Plastober prompts with you! There's daily and weekly prompts again, everything is in the images of the post :)

Also here's just a few thoughts on Inktober/Plastober and the creative community:

I wasn't sure wether to create another list this year. I've been hosting Plastober for the last 4 years, and in the last 2 years the number of participants has been going down significantly. I see two reasons for that: Instagram has been the main platform for these kinds of events, and it's becoming less and less of a community platform, turning more into a one-way direction content app. And also the general will to interact and participate in creative group events seems to have gone down. The second reason could be just a personal experience, but I hear from other artists that they see a similar development.

A handful of people reached out to me though, asking about this year's prompts and telling me how they loved the recent ones. And I thought...it's not just about numbers. If just a handful of people really enjoy this, I can sit down and give them creative input. And eventually become a little piece of the puzzle that turns them into better artists.

So here we go, I really hope you enjoy the prompts! Happy to help with any questions, of course!

Cheers
Stefan

Hello 👋 Wow! It's super interesting. The challenge is very complete and makes you want to. Unfortunately my level of drawing limits me in my ideas but I'm still going to try to do little things! Thank you for this work that you have done and for the rest.

Hey! :) don't let you skill level prevent you from doing the prompts. It's a creative challenge that you can do with super simple drawings or paintings as well. You'll improve without even noticing if you just do it 🙌

Hi! I loved the 2023's prompts list and I was a bit worried if you're not planning to make a challenge for this year (the 2023 one was posted on the 1st). Glad to see you still did it! Gonna hope I can do it too :) Even despite my changed life conditions since last October.

Yay! I'll try to do the plastober challenge. :D Might be difficult for me to find the time since I have a small baby so it'll possibly be some small and simple things. ^^

I think one of the best things about these challenges is that you can just come up with simple ideas. Maybe something that will spark creativity for later on, when you have more time :) Enjoy!!
