Study September is a fundamentals-focused 30 day art challenge meant to help you level up your basic skills.

There are two main ways to approach the challenge:

  1. Complete the prompts in order, ie. do prompt #1 on September 1st, and so on
  2. Jump around! Complete the prompts in any order you choose, picking at random.

You should also feel free to skip certain prompts, or even do the same prompt a few days in a row. The goal is to get you learning and creating. If you aren’t finding it fulfilling or worth your time, change strategies.
