Inktober 2025 day 1: Moustache

I’ve peaked too early this year.

Let’s keep it going everyday this year!

I was really lucky to be able to take part in Andymation’s Flipbook Fest 2025! This year Flipbook Fest has taken the form of creating a Flipbook version of Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring. Absolutely crazy!

All the clips were claimed super quick, but I eventually managed to get one after some had been unclaimed. My clip is 107 frames, 107 individual drawings! It’s of the fellowship entering the mines of Moria for the first time. One of my (many) favourite parts of the film.
BTW Did I mention I’m a massive LOTR nerd?!
They’re my absolute favourite films of all time. I went to see them all in the cinema when they came out and I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched them at home. Basically I love these films and as soon as I found out about this project I knew I’d have to do it! I literally didn’t even care what clip I had, I just wanted to be part of it.

I made a short video about making my Flipbook, which includes my finished Flipbook. Hope you like it!

If you’ve not heard of Inktober, it’s a month long drawing challenge. You’re given the daily prompts and just enjoy, use your imagination at post your drawings on instagram, tagging inktober ❤️ They might share your drawing!
I’ve started it for the last few years, but never finished. But this year I actually have!!!
I’ve also been taking part in Inktober 52 this year. With a new prompt each week of the year, it’s a nice weekly challenge and not so intense as coming up with a new drawing everyday! We’re up to week 44.

I’ve actually finished inktober for a change! There’s a few I’m not fussed with but just glad I finished it all! And tried to do a drawing within a drawing 🎃
Day one was on a separate page as part of Inktober 52 and then the rest of the 30 days fitted nicely onto an a4 spread in my Scribbles That Matter journal.
I decided to do it all on one page this year, partly because I wanted to keep it more manageable, I wanted to do it in my bullet journal and as I was laying it out, I had the idea to try to do the drawing within the drawing. Which definitely kept my interest, and encouraged me to finish it! It also made each individual drawing more challenging, trying to make them part of the bigger drawing.
Please check out Inktober on instagram to see all the incredible artists!!
