- You up for another monthly challenge?! If you want another creative outlet for the month of February and you want to try your hand at some sketching/doodling/drawing, then you might be keen on the Illustrated Lists Challenge :)
My brilliantly minded buddy, Kim of Tiny Ray of Sunshine and I have been brainstorming for months about a collaborative challenge that can incorporate our love of listing and sketching, and the Illustrated Lists was the outcome. Below is a lovely printable that Kim created for the month of February (these sketches just make my heart smile).
How to participate in the challenge:
- This first month’s challenge will be to come up with an illustrated list for each letter of the alphabet (plus, 3 prompts we’ve provided for you at the end). So, for the letter ‘O’ you might sketch/doodle/draw/paint images of your outfit of the day or even your favourite go-to outfits. You can choose how many images you’d like in each list, there’s no limit, and there’s no limit to how many lists you want to make for each letter, either. The images don’t have to be elaborate either (I’m just using a simple pen!). Have fun with it!
- Take a picture of your illustrated list and post it to Instagram using the hashtag #IllustratedLists
- Follow us – Kim (@tinyrayofsunshine) and Dee (@decadethirty) – on Instagram for some inspiration, and list ideas
- Check-in on the #IllustratedLists hashtag to get inspired from the drawing/sketching community
- Miss a day? Doesn’t matter! Keep going, and who’s stopping you from adding more images to existing lists as you go along the way :)
