Inktober 2025 #5: Deer

Martin · 151 days (9:52 PM · Oct 5, 2025)
An illustration of a cartoon deer caught in a spotlight eating an ice cream cone. The deer's eyes are wide open, and it is staring at the viewer with its mouth slightly agape. It has a partly eaten ice cream cone in its hand, and it is wearing a coat and scarf. It has a small set of antlers on its head. The drawing is in black and white.

Today's Inktober prompt was "deer". I wanted to go for a "deer in the headlights" thing with this one, but ended up not doing a road, just making the deer look like he got caught doing something. I'm not sure why that something is eating an ice cream cone, but I like how it turned out. 😆

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, and the Rough Dot Shader 45 Light brush for shading.

The Rusty Nib brush is from the Rusty Nib pack and the Rought Dot Shader brush is from the Beat Tones pack, both by True Grit Texture Supply.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
