Join us for the #Poptober2023 Art Challenge

Hello Poptropicans! Once again I nearly missed making this for October, but here it is right on the dot at the start of the new month. 🍂

Like past Poptober events, the “rules” are simple: draw something according to these Pop-related prompts. For you ambitious artists out there, you can opt for the full challenge of drawing each prompt every day. But otherwise, feel free to pick and choose or do an alternate version of the challenge, such as every other day or every week. 🧑‍🎨

Poptober takes inspiration from creativity challenges like Inktober or Mermay, and there are no particular rules on art mediums or how to interpret the prompts. Just keep it Poptropica-themed!

We’d love to see your creations, and there are plenty of ways to share them with us. ✨ You can comment on this post with link(s) to your art, post on Instagram with the hashtag #Poptober2023, or share on the #pop-art channel of the PHC, our Discord server.

Have fun creating, and I’ll hop on here again later!
