Happy New Year Drawaholics!

I am very proud to say that we are about to jump into our fourth year of Drawaholics! Of course there have been ups and downs, but life gets busy and eventually we all find time to draw and share what we have been working on. It's been incredibly inspiring seeing what you all draw and the improvements with each post!

Looking back on the last three years our first year had the most participants. The difference with that year and others, was the subjects. That year we focused on animals and each month had a different category and each week an animal within that category. We are going to do that again for 2013! Something else I am changing for this year is I have every challenge for the whole year in the '2013 Challenges' tab. This way you can look ahead and plan better and also for those of you who only have time for one drawing once in a while, you can look ahead and choose which one you would like to do! Please send me your thoughts in a comment or through email. I would love to hear what you think and if you feel this way will get you more excited about drawing!

As always, feel free to spread the word about Drawaholics and send anyone my way who might want to join! Also, I have heard more times than not that some of you are doing the challenges, but are too shy to post them. Please don't be! And don't feel intimidated by the artists here that you feel are better than you, you should be inspired by these and only compare your art to your own art. As long as you feel your current piece is better than your last you are headed in the right direction! So please post!

I hope 2013 is a good year for you all! Happy drawing!
