Drawing is a great way to learn new things, save memories and really get in touch with yourself. Every day, draw something. Anything. Your favorite animal, vacation spot, whatever you like. You don’t need any special supplies or materials to do this, just pen & paper. The 30 day drawing challenge is a series of prompts to help you draw more and develop your skills over some time. The challenge is easy. Each day of the month, there will be a subject given. Your goal is to draw it.
If you undertake the challenge, remember that it doesn’t have to be perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect drawing, and not every sketch you produce will turn out well. Over time, though, your drawings will improve, and you’ll develop a more realistic idea of what’s possible. The 30 day drawing challenge is a fun way to improve your drawing skills. It is also a good way to work on your hand-eye coordination and creativity.
