Drawing and illustration challenges for the year 2023.

There are so many great drawing challenges that happen each year and often I find out about them too late! So I have created a list of challenges below so you don't miss out!
​
In the first week of January I took part in a lovely art challenge, 'Cats in the Garden'. Each day there was a different prompt. Challenges like this are hosted by @TheyDrawAndGarden often and are so fun to participate in.

I don't always have time to do every single day in a challenge, so I might just share some work that I've already finished.
