Pink eraser art in October

10/1/25

Every year in October, a few art challenges circulate on social media. I did Inktober a few times, but I realized I don’t like the pressure of a daily drawing challenge.

I found out there’s an October challenge to carve a stamp out of a pink eraser every day. I got a set of carving tools earlier this year but haven’t made many stamps. So this is a good opportunity to practice. But I’m still not going to shoot for every day.

Day 1’s prompt is fish.

A hand-carved stamp of a fish. The stamped image is in black ink on a small notebook page. The stamp is carved from a pink eraser and lies on the page below the stamped image.

Here’s the full prompt list from pinkeraserart on Instagram.
