As artists, we understand that ‘perfection’ doesn’t come easily: it requires lots and lots of practice. Practicing at your own pace on can help you enhance your craft in a significant way, but there are other ways that artists can explore and push their limits. Participating in drawing challenges is a fun way to get you out of your comfort zone and take your craft to the next level.

Sometimes coming up with what to draw can be a challenge in and of itself. Taking up a drawing challenge will allow you to delve into subject matter, mediums, and techniques that you might not otherwise try. You’ll be able to open up your mind and strengthen your skill set while building an attractive and diversified portfolio that speaks loudly about your talents.

One of the major perks of participating in the challenges is giving yourself the opportunity to re-evaluate yourself. Before putting your work out there, critiquing your art ensures that you’re showcasing your best work and accomplishing the task at hand. It’ll also help you make more informed decisions about successive projects while giving you to chance to interact with like-minded creatives to bring out the best in each other.


The days of hiding your talent is over! It’s very important as an artist to showcase your work in a public space where other people can provide you feedback and, more importantly, build your confidence. Showcasing your work will help you to remain in a constant state of inspiration and stay motivated to keep improving with a healthy dose of competition.
