31 Day Drawing Challenge

As part of Drawing Inspiration, we've partnered with The Big Draw Festival 2026 to champion drawing. This year's Festival celebrates drawing as a form of playful inquiry, reflection and expression.

In 2026, The Big Draw is inviting everyone to Make a Mark, a celebration of drawing as a process, not a product.

Join us in taking part in our 31 Day Drawing challenge this October and Make a Mark your way!

Get creative with pen, pencil, digital or paint and challenge yourself to 31 days of drawing prompts.

We'll be sharing images over on our Instagram and would love to see your responses - so don't forget to tag us or leave an image comment on our posts!
