It’s the time of the year to doodle, paint, stamp and play your way through the holidays.
The illustrated advent challenge is on!
So far I have counted 4 groups participating, but I am sure there are many more. Feel free to check out their accounts and play along. It is a great way to get inspired, meet others in your community and make work for your portfolio.
Here are the links for you to see the christmas prompts and hashtags:
- #adventartchallenge – organized by Four Corners Art Collective
- #sketchaday_penandpaint – organized by Lindsay Hopkins
- #illustratedadvent2015 – organized by Rebecca Stoner and Suzanne Washington
- #365doodleswithjohannafritz – organized by Johanna Fritz
Last year I participated and made a ton of work for my portfolio. A few pieces derived from the month got licensed, the others I chalk up to practice and experience. This year I will not be illustrating one, but will continue to make art everyday concentrating on areas that need work.
I will post a round up of all the great images I have been seeing here later in the month.
Enjoy!
