IRLA Pack: Drawing

Take our drawing challenge and trace your progress with IRLAs How do you get into the Louvre or MOMA? The same way you get to Carnegie Hall -- practice, practice, practice. Drawing challenges are important for artists to develop a mental attitude that, while drawing may be fun, it also requires putting in hard work every day. Whether your challenge is drawing characters, or drawing just for the exercise of drawing, you must develop your creative skills. How smooth are your lines? Is your hand drawing what your eye is seeing? How do colors and shadow work? Art challenges press you to focus on your strong points and your weak spots. How do you know you're getting any better as an artist? As with challenges in any other profession or pastime, you have to set some goals. And we think that, when you achieve a goal, you deserve a reward to motivate you toward your next goal. Our IRLA Drawing challenge medals let you mark your progress and feel positive about the direction of your art. What are IRLA challenge medals? Our line of In Real Life Achievement awards, or IRLAs, lets you set goals in a variety of interests and reward yourself for milestones on your way to total mastery. IRLA challenge medals are visual reminders of the challenges you've faced and defeated in your quest to be the best version of you that you can be. See all our IRLA challenge medals. What drawing challenges must I complete? Completing your IRLA challenge goals feels GREAT!
