Thirty day drawing challenge!!
I know that a lot of you will be about to click away from this because you’re thinking “Oh, I can’t draw, there’s no way I’m doing this.” But that’s not true. Everyone can draw, you just need to practice! So please feel free to join us, we won’t judge. My drawings (as you will see) are pretty amateur, but hopefully they will improve over the course of this!
You can join at any time. Try to do all of these drawings in order, but if you need to skip a day or want to do multiple in one day, that’s fine. I know it’s kind of a random time to start a month-long challenge, but I wasn’t about to wait until November. Make sure you specify what drawing you’re doing!
If you finish (which everyone is going to do, right???), I will do a hand drawn picturing of you (and if you’d like, you can draw picturings for other people as well)
So without further ado, here are your daily inspirations! Be creative and make them your own!
- An unconventional face
- A still life of the first thing you grab randomly out of your desk drawer
- Anything, but you aren’t allowed to use an eraser
- Food
- A person in motion
- A scene in historic times
- Something purple
- A musical instrument
- Your pet, or the pet you wish you had
- Anything, but using a media you aren’t used to
- Something in your backyard
- Royalty
- Some kind of transportation
- A tiny drawing on a 2” by 2” piece of paper
- Your hand
- A scene from a book
- Something abstract
- A landscape
- A self portrait with your eyes closed— no peaking!
- The sky today
- A message in fancy letters (calligraphy)
- A scene in a fantasy or sci fi world
- Sadness
- Yourself as an animal
- A picture drawn without lifting the pencil
- A fantastical tree
- A drawing inspired by a dream or one of your earliest memories
- Something made of glass or transparent
- A redo of one of your earlier drawings
- A banner, trophy, wreath of laurels, etc. to celebrate your accomplishment!!
Happy drawing! I will post mine after this shows up.

I have been keeping up with the drawings, just neglecting to post them! Here's number three, drawing without an eraser. A really weirdly proportioned elephant. Whoever created this challenge, there's a reason why we use erasers/whiteout ya know xD??

For some reason that didn't show up. Here it is again:

#5: A person in motion. A frame from a comic, because I can't draw people in any other way and have them look like they're actually moving.

These are great, Shoshannah! I love the ice cream especially it looks so...real! I am sorry for not posting I just haven't gotten around to it. I will try post over the next few days.

Everyone can work at their own pace, so you can begin with an unconventional face and then work down the list. Thanks for joining! I had another drawing project I wanted to work on so I've kind of been neglecting this, but I'll try to get back to it!

Food, and a really bad person leaping (she's pointing a different direction than the corn).
