Here are the prompts for #inktobernaturejournal week two! Remember, the most important thing is to do a little bit every day. Even if you can only squeeze in a 3 minute entry before sleep. That counts!<\/p>\n

Day 8: Five Blind Contour Drawings of Bones<\/h6>\n

Blind contour drawings and bones are a great match. What is a blind contour drawing? It is a great exercise that improves a number of drawing skills. You draw a subject without looking at your drawing and usually without lifting your pen from paper. First, set up your bones far enough away from your drawing where you can not see them. Next, put your pen down and start drawing. Finally, remember that a blind contour should be fast. There is not much use in adding details since you don’t know where you are.<\/p>\n

What are some aspects of your blind contour that you like? How can you apply these to your regular drawings? What can you learn here?<\/p>\n

Day 9: Poisonous or Venomous?<\/h6>\n

Despite the way most people use these words there is indeed a difference. On the other end of the spectrum from how these words are commonly interchangeable there are people who are sticklers about these words always being used correctly. For #inktobernaturejournal we are less concerned about correctness. In fact, we are not even that concerned with pretty pictures. Instead we are focused on consistency and getting an entry for every day of this challenge! This prompt allows you to do some research, be creative in your interpretation. Maybe there is something in your garden or under your sink that matches the prompt? A “joint comparison” could be a good nature journal technique to employ here?<\/p>\n

Day 10: Nocturnal Nature Journaling<\/h6>\n

Did you know that nature doesn’t stop at night? On the contrary, many things in nature only happen at night. If you are never nature journaling at night you are automatically missing half of nature. And between the equinoxes you are missing more than half! For some tips and inspiration check out this video below.
