30 DAYS OF DRAWING
#30drawingsin30dayschallenge
Drawing forms the bedrock of all my creative and artistic practices. As an artist I would happily spend my days drawing but the reality is that I found I rarely had time for it despite enjoying it so much.
After deciding I needed to draw more - it became clear that I wasn't alone. In June 2016, over 60 artists from all over the world joined the #30drawingsin30dayschallenge. Every day for 30 days we drew and posted on Instagram using the hashtag #30drawingsin30days. We formed an online community and cheered each other on through the ups and the downs of the challenge.
