It's that time again!

Karine’s April Drawing Challenge: Draw something every day in the month of April

http://aprildrawing.tumblr.com/

Sounds tough! What do I have to do?
Draw. Something. Anything. Any topic. Any level of detail. Every day. For a month. And share it.

Sounds cool! How do I sign up?

You don’t need a tumblr account, but it helps. You can follow this tumblr, tell your tumblr followers about it so a lot of people join in. You can send a request to be a posting member, or you can just make a submission (which a moderator will need to approve).

Post either your art or a link to your art using either your access or the submission form every day in April, starting on April 1st.

Sounds simple! Are there any other rules?

Nope. Well, not really. It has to be creative drawing - from doodles and sketches to full fledged, detailed, CG graphics, on any subject. Stuff you would normally be drawing anyway counts (so, for those who do webcomics, that counts) but stuff you draw for your job doesn’t. It can be anything. I will post a different drawing exercise every day during the month of April for anyone who would like to use it. You may also post every day a scan or screenshot of work in progress, so for example you can post a series of thumbnail sketches one day, your sketch the next, inks after that, colours… if that’s how the work flows from you. You can post only doodles all month, observational drawings, something straight out of your fevered brain, inking exercises, anything at all, so long as it’s a piece of art that you did that day. It would also be really cool if you could look at other people’s art and comment on a couple of other posts every day. Disqus is enabled, and you’re encouraged to use it.

Yes indeed. Nice and low-key to get me drawing regularly again.

Whether or not I do it depends on how all my deadlines line up. Although technically I'll be doing art daily even if it's not necessarily drawing.

if occasionally I can turn in an Instagram photo of a doodle on a bar napkin on a Saturday night... then I think I can do every day, yes =) I think I'll try this, it might help me develop my webcomic faster.

I haven't bothered the last couple of years, but I'm feelin' pretty game this time around.

Alrighty, First week (and then some) is up. and although i'm 1 day behind I've got most of them covered. A few nice ones, a few quick sketches, but something is better than nothing!
Kaiju Tsumi, for the Kaiju jam


Some random gestures from down a page of tumblr


My hand, holding a delicious Cadbury creme egg


A terrible non-referenced self portrait (seriously... I somehow couldn't be bothered to look in a mirror.)


A bit of joke fanart for Seevah


A quick blind contour that I'm really surprised looks like anything...


And an attempt to speed paint a random landscape


Those are mine so far, and although I know we're seeing some of each others across tumblr, I figured it wouldn't hurt to share here too. Let's see what you all got!

It's that time again, folks! :D

Some of you turned out some wicked fab work during last years April drawing challenge, so I really hope y'all come on back to dazzle us again!

Now that most of you got a tumblr, I sure hope to see my feed filled with an invasion of voider art. Lets make this years April drawing challenge one to remember!

I was already hoping to challenge myself to that exact thing, so I'm all over this! It should be easy for me to draw something every day, but... ??? I dunno???
