Everyday Matters is a friendly community designed to encourage members to expand their creativity. Our main focus is on drawing and creating illustrated journals but we welcome creative people from all disciplines. Our group includes members of all degrees of ability and experience -- from total novices to professional illustrators, artists, and teachers.

In 2004, this group grew out of Danny Gregory's blog and books - Everyday Matters, The Creative License and An Illustrated Life.

How do I post my work?

Check out the EDM Weekly Challenges listed on your left and pick a challenge - go in ascending/descending order or choose randomly - and start working on it. You can choose any medium/support you are comfortable with. 

Once you've finished your sketch, click on the link for the challenge and post your work there. Optional: Add a description about the materials you've used or what you felt while working on the challenge. 

You'll need to join the EDM Group to edit/post on these waves.

Search for Challenges

Use the search box at the top of this page to search for challenges. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

• Use a keyword or phrase to locate the challenge. For example, "portrait" or "pet" or "father's day" will show you challenges with these words/phrases in the title of the challenge
• Use the challenge number. For example, typing in "301" in the search box will show you Challenge 301: Draw something cute
• Use the keyword "Latest" to find the most recent challenge
