This weekend you are challenged to take part in the worldwide Sketchcrawl. Sketchcrawl is a day where people all over the globe take part in a drawing marathon. Typically, the journey starts off with a sketch of your breakfast, then grows to drawings of people, food, architecture, scenery, and more. You pretty much draw the small and large things that make our days unique. Take part in Sketchcrawl by drawing your surroundings, and then sharing your illustrations on DIY. Then tag it with #sketchcrawl. Fuzzy Belly suggested this challenge. Today is the last day to enter the #dailydiymythicalcreature contest!!
