Get creative & win some pre-christmas treats in our 7 day portrait-sketching challenge!
It's been a tough year for independent business owners, so we're throwing the fairy lights on 7 of our nearest and dearest in this week-long Instagram challenge. We'll post a different photo each day, and at the end of the week the muses will pick their favourite portrait artist to award a special prize!
As an extra challenge, we invite you to draw all 7 portraits using your non-dominant hand!
MEET THE MUSES
You can join the challenge at any time and don’t have to draw every muse - we know this is a busy time of year! You’ve got until Sunday 13th to complete and tag us in your portraits - each muse will be picking and announcing their favourite on Monday 14th.
Remember to tag both @sketchappeal and the muse on (or after) their designated day of the week.
Monday’s Muse

Tuesday’s Muse
