What Is the 30-Day Drawing Prompt Challenge?
The concept is simple: each day, we provide a unique prompt to help you create a mini artwork on a Post-it note. Why Post-its? They’re small, approachable, and the perfect size for a quick artwork. Over 30 days, you’ll use the calendar of line prompts to spark your imagination, explore new ideas, and take small steps towards building a consistent creative practice. This challenge starts on the 1st of November 2024.
This challenge isn’t just about drawing—it’s also a way to practice creative self-care. Setting aside a few minutes daily to create something just for yourself can be incredibly refreshing and rewarding.
