November Art Challenge 2023 list is here! The 11th month of the year bringsā€¦ leafless trees, very little color, a lot of rain, and a touch of melancholy. Yay! šŸ« 

November might not be my favorite month of the year, but it doesnā€™t deter me from bringing you a short list of social media art challenges you can participate in to brighten up the dull and gray November days. Enjoy!

In this post, Iā€™ll provide you with a list of 7 Instagram November art challenges. *These monthly art challenges start with those I liked the most (but it doesnā€™t mean that those at the end arenā€™t worth participating in!)

Huevember

Hosted by: various artists
Originally, Huevember was created by Matthieu Daures in 2014, according to BrushWarriors. Now, years later, it got so universal and popular, there are many variations of it. Below, Iā€™ll give you one variation of the challenge.

Description: Take out your pigments, as this art challenge is for those who love color! In Huevember, artists create a series of artworks using a different color hue as the primary focus for each day of the month.
Itā€™s a great option for painters who want to explore and experiment with various hues. After the challengeā€™s over, youā€™ll end up with a diverse and vibrant collection of artworks.

Posevember ā€” Figure Drawing Challenge

Hosted by: Kick in the Creatives

Description: In Posevember, you sketch a human figure every day. Thanks to this challenge, youā€™ll become more skilled at understanding and depicting body proportions. Focus on:

  • the bodyā€™s shape and, if time permits, its tones, without concerning yourself with color.
  • capturing the dynamic movement of the pose, known as the ā€œline of action.ā€

Hereā€™s a great list of pose references by Kick in the Creatives. #Posevember

Quick Kick November Drawing Challenge

Hosted by: Kick in the Creatives

Description: For Quick Kick November, create a daily drawing with a brush and ink or paint WITHOUT using a pen or pencil first. The idea is you should spend no more than 15 minutes a day participating in the art challenge. Using a brush right away makes your drawings simpler, without you overthinking the entire process, and you can try making different marks to make your work more interesting and textured. #QuickKickNovember

You can draw anything you like, use use their prompt list below.

Kick Collage Art Challenge

Hosted by: Kick in the Creatives

Description: Every day, make art using cut-out images or found elements. You can create the whole artwork with these or add drawings or paintings on top. In collage, focus on light and dark tones, not just colors. Itā€™s a fun way to learn how contrasting light and dark parts can make your art look great. #KickCollage

The prompt list is the same as for the Quick Kick November Drawing Challenge.

November Art Challenge. Summary

Thatā€™s it; I must admit there werenā€™t many art challenges to choose from. Anyway, I hope youā€™ll find something for you. Whichever challenge you decide to participate in, remember to post your work on social media to share it with the art community!
