Draw every day for the month of January and see how much you improve. There are game boards to keep you motivated and themes to keep you inspired!
On January 1st, everybody creates their board they will fill out as the month goes on. The board can be as simple or as fancy as you’d like. Alternatively, feel free to use one of the ones provided – you can print it out or add to it digitally. Or feel free to skip the board, idgaf.
The challenge starts for real at 12:01am EST January 2nd, when I’ll post a list of 6 different themes. Create something inspired by one (or more) of those themes! Alternatively, if you don’t find any of that day’s themes inspiring, every person starts the game with 3 each of 3 different passes:
3 freebie passes (black), where you skip the day completely with no consequences
3 finish/improve passes (green), where you revisit an earlier piece from this challenge in order to finish or improve it
3 tutorial passes (blue), where you find a tutorial of your choice and follow it to learn something new
After you create your piece for the day (or use your pass), mark the day complete in your board – write in the theme you did, post a thumbnail of the art, etc. The goal is to have a full board at the end of the challenge! 30 days of improvement in your art.
The themes are more geared toward visual artists, but I try to make them accessible to artists of all different media, including written word, music, etc. Feel free to use any media, in any combination, that you’d like! Artists of all skill levels are invited to participate, from complete beginners to professionals. There is no judgement or even critique.
The day’s work doesn’t have to be a finished piece, but try to produce at least a sketch study (or equivalent) every day. You can take this as seriously or as casually as you’d like, I want to inspire you to improve!
You don’t need a Tumblr to participate, but if you have one please @ this account or tag the post #artchallengegame to get your art reblogged! There is also a Discord, I will post the invite soon.
