Art challenges

[Q-tea]

I wanted to make a list of all the art challenges out there. I know there are always new ones popping up so if you know of one that’s not list please share.

Let’s talk about your experience with these art challenges. Have you done one? Did you find it challenging or not really?

Excuse the 4 year late response ^^;

Of the ones you've listed, the only challenge I've tried was Inktober. I tried it twice but failed each time. I've even tried to make my own art challenge back in March, but failed that like 6 days in. I lose interest in things pretty quickly, which causes me to lose motivation, which then makes committing to things (like challenges) pretty hard. @-@;

ive tried inktober a couple times but doing anything every single day is tough for me, so ive never gotten through a whole month. its fun though! following prompts is always nice, i have trouble getting myself to draw if i cant think of something. and ive wanted to do mermay, but i keep forgetting.

ive done meet the artists before, but apparently ive never saved any of mine so i dont have any of them anymore. sad.

Drawing memes are fun ones! There's the "Draw the squad" challenges, usually with a really chaotic photo. "Ship Dynamics" memes typically just illustrate a ship, but some artists go out of there way to make really wacky poses that also work as a drawing meme.

This one became a drawing meme for a bit - the challenge was that it has to be your two comfort characters.


_Star_ maybe there's a drawing inspo here-

Edit: some more drawing challenges

Goretober
Drawtober
Artober
Witchtober
Swordtember (though I see Swordtober too)
Funguary
Creatuanary

!! I JUST SAW THIS IM SORRY

Hi, yes, hello-- I've tried inktober before somewhere around high school?? damn. I was really digging into ink art but then never got into inktober after school ended. All my pens dried lolol
(it was a fun challenge! iirc i tried getting to the end but failed, missed a couple of days-- but it was fun!)

wonder if i should try the new inktober. But im worried that im not as good as i use to.
speaking of drawing memes--

I've been meaning to get around this art meme where you draw your ocs and give them their corruption/redemption arcs [zoom]

I can never finish a whole batch of Inktober. I start flagging around a week or two in, and can't draw fast enough to catch up. The prompts are fun, though.

OC corruption arc is a neat prompt, but my OCs would not appreciate that after what I already put them through for their backstory and chara dev.

This one doesnt have an official template but basically its a challenge where you draw the opposite of your artstyle-- here's one of it i found.
