Instead of the famous Inktober Challenge, we’ve been organizing our own fall drawing challenge on the forum for the past few years. This year, we’ve chosen the theme “Fairy Tales” and have also compiled a selection of fairy tales for the challenge.

Here’s how you can join in

You can participate either through my forum. We’ve created a dedicated thread for the Autumn Marathon in the German-language forum, where you can find the fairy tales along with links to where you can read them, and also share your drawings: Drawing Marathon 2022 – Fairy Tales October & November

Or you can post your picture with the hashtag #Märchenchallenge on Instagram, for example, or wherever else you’re active on social media (feel free to include a link to your post here in the comments).

Have fun, and I look forward to lots of participation!
