Challenge 53: Alternative Surface

Create a drawing on an alternative surface.

Draw on an unconventional surface - one that is completely different to your usual blank paper or canvas. The contours, patterns and background colours of different surfaces can help spark your creativity. Some ideas for fun alternative surfaces:

• corrugated cardboard
  
• old map
  
• book page
  
• fabric
  
• wall
  
• dried leaves
  
• ceramic cup or bowl
  
• wooden box
  
• hand
  
• sidewalk

Here are a few examples of drawings on alternative art surfaces:

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)

Inspired! I've got to paint a couple of sculptures this month, maybe i'll count those 😂

Oh yeah, sculpted forms as a surface definitely counts. :)
