July Before & After Art Challenge – Redraw Your Old Artwork and Show Your Progress

July is here, and it is time to face your past. Your mission for this monthly art challenge is to dig through your oldest sketchbooks, find your biggest drawing disaster, and completely redraw your old artwork in your current style.

This is the ultimate art progress challenge to measure your artistic improvement and show how far your skills have come. You won’t be doing this alone - our community art feedback platform is here to support you with community-driven art critique and visual draw-over feedback.

Two categories, two winners, two premium subscriptions to Artwod up for grabs.

Before/After transformation by Axel Van Nederkassel. A victorian man with 4 arms holding an axe and a lamp. 2 digital versions next to each other.
