Can you believe the year is almost over? In just a few short days 2016 will be upon us.

So I figured this would be a good time to mention a challenge I am starting up in the new year. I’ve had this idea for over a year but kept putting it off. Then a few months ago I mentioned it to a friend and she thought it was a good idea.

The challenge is called Daily Drawing Planner Challenge and will begin January 1st. This planner will be different as its not meant for you to jot down your appointments or regular to-do lists. It is meant to get you to create art everyday but on a small scale. Basically its a planner for artists that includes an art challenge.

The daily drawings can be based on that month’s theme, your own theme or no theme at all. Each month not only has that months calendar with space to draw/create in but it also has a few other extras. The beginning of each month will have a section to create a doodle. It can be based on the theme or not at all. You could work on it in one sitting, a little everyday or however you like. Each month I have given you an inspirational or motivational quote from painters, musicians and others. There is also a question each month that you can answer, a section to list your art projects for the month, a section to list the mediums you used each month to create your drawings and a section for notes and ideas.

I also created a Facebook group where you can share your art. You can click here or search on Facebook for Daily Drawing Planner. You can also share on other social media by using any of the following two hashtags.
