People posted hundreds of drawings for our 30 day January challenge, in which artists are invited to respond to a daily prompt posted on our V. Notes blog. Unlike other drawing challenges, these prompts are wildly varied, open to non-typical materials around us, and are designed to feed a broad spectrum of creative skills at all levels of art making.
This was the last week of our month long challenge. It was very difficult to narrow it down! Below are some of our favorites.
