"The green, buttery muse of brunches everywhere has officially taken over your sketchbook. Maybe you’ll ink a still-life worthy of a renaissance feast, or maybe you’ll let loose with a superhero Avocado smashing villains with the power of healthy fats. You could even go surreal: an avocado spaceship blasting through guacamole galaxies, or a pit that’s secretly a portal to another dimension. Whether ripe with humor or sliced with drama, this fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) is ready to inspire.

And here’s the pit at the center of it all: Inktober itself kicks off October 1, only a couple of weeks away! That means now is the perfect time to warm up, get those creative juices flowing, and shake the rust off your inky superpowers. Avocado is your reminder to keep things simple, back to basics: just pen, paper, and ideas ready to be mashed, smashed, and spread across the page. So get drawing, because the big inky feast is almost here. 🖤"

Ignore typo. I spelled Avocado wrong. Lol. Never did inktober before. Thought I would try it.

It looks great! Drawing in pen is difficult but it looks like you navigated it with no problem. Thanks for participating! :)

Thanks. I think I will try for the whole month of October.
