Follow the prompts, add your drawings to your calendar, see your progress take shape, and finish October with something you can look back on.
What is Birdtober?
Birdtober is an annual drawing challenge centered around birds. Each day, participants draw a bird based on the day's prompt and share their work throughout the month.
The idea is simple: pick up your pen, draw a bird, and keep going.
Birdtober gives artists a simple reason to practice drawing birds consistently for a month.
You can participate every day, draw at your own pace, and share your work using the challenge's hashtags and prompts.
Birdtober isn't a contest.
It's a reason to pick up your pen and keep drawing.
