March is when the world begins to wake up. Even if it’s still cold, the light changes, the air shifts, and little things start to grow. The March Drawing Challenge is all about movement, change, and new energy, both in nature and in your sketchbook.
You’ll get 31 unique prompts, each with three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced), so you can grow at your own pace. Use what you’ve learned in January and February, and let your creativity bloom.
