The next day three days will be dedicated to the Pop Sugar Happy Holidays drawing challenge from November.  Angel  Snowflake  Naughty  Snowman  Christmas Presents  Reindeer Winter Wonderland This was a fun drawing challenge hosted by Popsugarartists on Instagram. Check out the #popsugarhappyholidays if you want to check some other Holiday inspired art. I didn't totally complete this challenge either but I did create 21 pieces from the prompts. I definitely feel ready for more art challenges in the New Year. xo Alicia

I bumped Creative Practice this week to share these cuties. It'll be back next week. I'm trying to post these before the end of the year. Tomorrow Holiday themed art.  Day 1: Oddity  Day 2: Cute But Deadly  Day 3: Drink It Up Day 8: Sea Witch These four are from the art challenge #artitupwithfriends hosted by  @badaliceshop and @pabkins on Instagram. I fell off the challenge bandwagon on this one. But I kept up with some of those who participated and there were so many great, inspiring interpretations. xo Alicia
