Guess the Movie from the Drawing Game! // INKtober 2025 Recap

Hi, friends! Happy Halloween!

The last time I had a game on this blog it was "Guess the Actor from the Drawing" with my sister back in 2020. I've been wanting to get into drawing ever since, but always claimed I didn't have the time. On October 1st I was looking at the INKtober prompts and for day one thought, "I know exactly what I'd do if I were to draw that!" Then I realized there was nothing holding me back, and I went ahead and drew it. 

Because that first day featured one of my favorite fictional characters I decided I'd give myself the additional challenge of making each drawings be inspired by a movie or TV show! Which is where this turns into a game. I would love for you guys to guess what these are! Some of these are SUPER obscure; there's no one who could guess all of these, not even my family members, but I thought it would be a fun game for you guys to see what movies and TV shows we have in common and to see what I've been up to.

And I also want to see how recognizable all of my drawings are, haha! I hadn't done a lot of drawing before this and I think I actually got worse as the month went along but I never stopped having fun. I used reference photos for all of these which has it's pros and cons, but you'll get to see the actual photos when I post the answers!

How it works:

• Each of these drawings is from a scene in a movie or TV show. Comment on this post (comments will be put on moderation so everyone gets a fair chance!) if you think you know the inspiration for any of these drawings. You don't need to guess the exact episode of the TV show, just the name of the show will count!
• As some of these are impossibly hard I'll give some hints, but you may be able to guess a lot from what the prompt was, so all of those are included, too.
• Have fun!

Day 1: Prompt: Mustache

Day 2: Prompt: Weave

Day 3: Prompt: Crown

Note: I had just rewatched this episode, so while it's a little out of the way it's where my mind went immediately.

Day 4: Prompt: Murky

Hint: I have talked about this scene before on this blog. Because I'm obsessed and I acknowledge that.

Day 5: Prompt: Deer

Hint: I know the obvious one to do would be Bambi. But: (a. I was trying to avoid animated films because I would compare it too much to the animated style. (b. I haven't actually seen that. So I went with something where a deer only shows up for a few seconds, but there's still a line of dialogue devoted to it.

"So she did become a deer!"

"Not relevant." 

Day 6: Prompt: Pierce

Day 7: Prompt: Starfish

Day 8: Prompt: Reckless

Hint: I didn't even know this movie existed until a couple of months ago but maybe it will make a comeback as people watch things to commemorate a certain actor.

Day 9: Prompt: Heavy

Day 10: Prompt: Sweep

Day 11: Prompt: Sting

Day 12: Prompt: Shredded

Day 13: Prompt: Drink

Day 14: Prompt: Trunk

Hint: This TV show is Very Fit (for) Drawing.

Day 15: Prompt: Ragged

Hint: I'm using the prompt ironically, but it is part of the dialogue...

Day 16: Prompt: Blunder

Day 17: Prompt: Ornate

Day 18: Prompt: Deal 

Note: No one who doesn't watch international TV dramas is going to guess this. Take this as your sign to watch international TV dramas because I am ENGROSSED.

Day 19: Prompt: Arctic

Hint: I had forgotten completely that this movie existed even though I used to watch it all the time. Takes me back to the late 2000s.

Day 20: Prompt: Rivals

Note: The problem with this one is that I drew the figure on the right first and got a little cocky which lead to me completely messing up on the figure on the left. This was the only drawing of the month that I felt so dissatisfied with it that later in the day I tried to redo it. And I guess the nearest piece of paper was a receipt, so I just put it on top of the other piece of paper. So here's another version, even though the proportions are off.

Day 21: Prompt: Blast

Hint: I don't know what's a good clue to give you guys as Sarah Seele is the only person outside of my family that I know has also watched this. But maybe you guys will prove me wrong!

Day 22: Prompt: Button

Day 23: Prompt: Firefly

Day 24: Prompt: Rowdy

Day 25: Prompt: Inferno

Hint: I keep saying I'm going to write a post about this TV show and my love for it, so maybe this should be my hint to finish that post before the second season comes out.

Day 26: Prompt: Puzzling

Hint: If you need help, maybe you should call a friend? I guess "phone a friend" is the proper direction.

Day 27: Prompt: Onion

Day 28: Prompt: Skeletal

Day 29: Prompt: Lesson

Hint: This guy is good at teaching things. Like how to fight and also read and write.

Day 30: Prompt: Vacant

Hint: The pretense for me drawing it is that I'd just rewatched it, so no farce is intended.

Day 31: Prompt: Award

Hint: I chose a strange scene from this show, but just know that I'd been thinking about it all month long, especially as I got around to watching the second season. And dressed up as one of the characters for Halloween. And I was drawing on Halloween (aka today), so sure, I'll do what's popular right now, regardless of the day of the week.

Let the guessing begin! I hope you guys have as much fun with this as I did drawing these all! Answers will be posted in a few weeks!
