Join us for Everyday in May

Everyday in May is right around the corner and this time we'll be sketching EDM 101 to 131.

It's simple to join in - Start on 1st May with number 101 and draw one item on the list every day in May until you finish on 31st May with number 131. Don’t stress if you miss a day - just go on to the next one and catch up if you can. It is ok to combine a few,  or to jump around if it suits... but the ideal is to do the right one on the day like everyone else....but most importantly have fun!

Any media will do - pick up your favorite art supplies and start sketching. In addition to posting your sketches on  your blog/website/photo, join this Flickr group to share your Everyday in May sketches and to check out everyone else's work.

P.S. Here are my EDM Sketches so far.

New Site for Everyday Matters

I've redesigned the Everyday Matters site to make it easier to find and post challenges. If you haven't heard of EDM before, Everyday Matters (EDM) is a series of weekly drawing/sketching challenges that grew out of Danny Gregory's blog and books - Everyday Matters, The Creative License and An Illustrated Life - in 2004. 


There are currently 6 years worth of weekly challenges that you can access here: http://edm.poojasrinivas.com

To find challenges you are interested in, use the search box at the top of the EDM site to search for challenges. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

• Use a keyword or phrase to locate the challenge. For example, "portrait" or "pet" or "father's day" will show you challenges with these words/phrases in the title of the challenge
• Use the challenge number. For example, typing in "301" in the search box will show you Challenge 301: Draw something cute
• Use the keyword "Latest" to find the most recent challenge

You can share your sketches by posting them on the challenge pages or creating a new topic in the EDM group (click on New Topic in the group or send an email to everydaymatters@googlegroups.com).

Looking forward to seeing a lot more sketches in the EDM group :-)
