This seems to be a popular challenge every year, but several people seem shy to start the thread, so here it is - Welcome to the 2012 collaborative sketchbook and 365 day challenge!

THE CHALLENGE RULES;

PLEASE LIMIT YOUR POSTED IMAGES TO 150K MAXIMUM FILE SIZE. AN EASY WAY TO DO THIS IS MAKE IMAGES NO LARGER THAN 450PIXELS WIDE AT 72PPI.

You are challenged to post a small sketch each day into this collaborative sketchbook.

1 point for each consecutive day you create a new sketch.

Post on the day you do the sketch where possible. If you can't then post your sketches when you get the chance. You could even post weekly with thumbnails of your 7 sketches condensed into one image.

Make a note of your day / point number with each post.

If you don't draw for a day your current score re-sets to zero.

You can start the challenge whenever you want and keep it up for as long as you can. To be added to the IFX elite list of hardcore sketchers you must hit 365 consecutive days.

I always start this, but miss a few and then drift off before halfway.

Let's see if I can keep going longer this year.

Hallo everybody! Another Year, another go! I m really happy, that the challenge continues and hope that more are gonig to join here! So this is going to be my second year. Stopped with 365 last April and been missing this challenge since then ;)

Good to see you and your art again, Doomdancer :).

I'm not sure if I'm going to join this year, but good luck to all of you.

Hi everyone! This is a really great challenge, I've gotten SO much better this year, just from the regular practice regime. Even if you're unsure if you can make it the entire year, give it a try :D

#364 - 1 more left! :D 

@NN, Now just make sure you don't sleep through tomorrow!

335 and 336. Exceptionally awful at working out of my head, need about four more years of practice before I'm any good at it :P
