Drawtober 2025

For drawtober this year I alternated between 2 prompt lists - cozy and spooky. I was using this as an opportunity to create and test designs for my Halloween product line that will come out for 2026! I wanted to pace myself, so I sketched out all prompts in my sketchbook, then picked the top 4 from each week (2 cozy and 2 spooky) and finished them into full art pieces. Some of these will become products as is, some will serve as inspiration for future projects, and others will just serve as a fun drawing for the time it was created.

If you would like to see the sketches that inspired each drawing, visit my instagram at @KellyLathamArt or on Patreon at @SleepyHeadKL

#TheyDrawtober - 2021

I did this drawing challenge in one day, haha. I sat on my couch and did them all i the same file. Loose line art, experimented with coloring, and had a really good time. Drawing challenges don’t have to be monumentous, they can be easy and fun too 😊

Drawtober 2020

I wanted an easy fun challenge that got me drawing everyday but didn’t stress me out, so I made a mini challenge! I did 2” drawings in 200 seconds, and that was it, and it was quite fun!

30 Places in 30 Days - 2020

During lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic, I just moved to Atlanta and had picked the city specifically so I could have cheap flights to travel places. Obviously that did not happen. lol so because I couldn't go places, I made up places instead. Each day I would go into my reference folder, that held images from the Internet of photos and art and color palettes that I like, liked, and pick 5 to 6 random images inspiration. Then I would create an environment based on the prompt and the reference images. I also hid a snail in each image if you want to play iSpy for a bit. 😊

Huevember 2019

Inktober is all about inking black and white drawings, and Huevember is all about coloring those drawings! So I took me Medieval Mammals from October, and made some color palettes to work from.

Inktober 2019 - Medieval Mammals

I wanted a solid theme I could really embrace this year, so I went with Medieval Mammals. I research all the different types of jobs someone could have during that time period, and paired them up with random mammals. I did all the inks in October, and then colored them for HueVember the following month! It was very motivated that year.
