1. a pattern
2. an animal
3. your favorite thing to wear
4. something you found on the ground outside
5. recipe instructions
6. a word
7. an insect
8. a cross section
9. an animal doing something only humans can do
10. something in a jar
11. a diagram
12. something you’re afraid of
13. a plant
14. your favorite food
15. something microscopic

OOoh what a wonderful idea! I would love to try and join in! Can’t wait to see your pictures.
Such a good idea! I’ve been meaning to devote an hour a day to sketching — excited to join in and actually make it happen! :)
I might actually join you on this one, Amanda! See you on the ‘gram!
YAY!
Hi Amanda, this may be the first time I’m commenting on your blog but I’m a regular reader. Since I love drawing, I thought why not take this challenge along with you. I’m already following you on Instagram so this should be easy. Good luck! :)
Awesome Shraddha! Thanks for reading and commenting! :)
Is it okay to do this after the month’s over or something? Seems like an awesome challenge but I’m currently working on something else :(
Of course! You can do it whenever you have time!
Great idea! Definitely up for this challenge! x
Oh my gosh you guys, this is going to be so fun! Thank you for joining me!!
Great idea, can wait to see what you’ve come up with!
Definitely going to try this one! I have been looking for a reason to break out my sketch book lately and this is just perfect for that. What a wonderful idea!
thanks so much for doing this!!! I’m definitely joining in. :)
Sounds exciting, can’t wait to see what comes of the challenge!xx
Cool idea for me and my 12 year old daughter to do together
Totally passing this on to my hubbie!

Great challenge. I think I’m going to have to get out the ole sketchbook and join in the fun.
I’m in! What a wonderful creative challenge.
Hi Amanda! I have followed the blog for some time, and I love your work! This challenge is a great idea! I’m starting drawing today… I’m so curious what your other followers will draw too!
Great! :D
LATE TO THE PARTY …. GOING TO GIVE THJS A TRY
Looking forward to participating as well…I need a good kickstart. :)
Probably going to trek along with Bivi on this. Really live it and want to join in, but in the middle if moving. Thank you for sharing! Excited to see all the outcome!
Aw, man! I missed this somehow. Guess I’ll be a late starter. :)
Hey, I would love to join this! Am I too late?
Nope, you can do the challenge whenever you want!
I’m late to the party on this… But I’ve enjoyed seeing your sketchbook. I wish I’ve followed along as I haven’t opened mine in ages! Sometimes it takes something simple like this to get you going. It doesn’t have to be a major project. I think I might go back through your lust and challenge myself, thank you! :)
I’d love if you continued this series!
Hi, a friend of mine found your fun challenge and we’re both excited to join in on the fun! wrote about it here : http://www.janecandy.com
I know this is unrelated, but did you make that journal?! It’s amazing! If you did, would you mind sharing how you made it? If you bought it, can you please tell me where? Thank you!
I did make it! :) You can buy one right here on my site: https://witandwhistle.com/shop/notebooks/draw-something-notebook/
I’ve just come across your post while searching for drawing challenges! I’m starting this today, 5 Jan to give my new drawing tablet a run for it’s money :D
<3 love this inspiration. Just the push I needed. :) (That's an awesome pencil case, love it! Is it something you made?)
I got my pencil case from here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/infusion
Thank you so much for starting this, it’s just what I need to get the creative juices flowing, and a nice simple way to focus on things outside my comfort zone, and give me goals each day.
Can’t wait to share some of my pics, the good ones with you.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with! :)

I really like the ideas for all the 15 drawings!
I also hope this is going to improve my drawing skills a bit!
Already on my 3rd day (although this isn’t really far) right now, and I still feel motivated to continue!
