This year’s daily drawing project is a 10 Day Environmental Art Count Down to the Draw Down. Developed by artists Sharon Kallis and Tiki Mulvihill, this 10 day challenge to draw and be kind to the planet will transform the way you think about your Blue Box.

In the 10 days leading up to Vancouver Draw Down, starting June 5, 2013, you are invited to take part in daily drawings. Follow Vancouver Draw Down on Facebook and/or Twitter and look for the daily drawing instructions starting the morning of June 5. (Instructions and submissions will also be posted here on our blog.) 

There are tons of ways you can share your work with us! Send scans or photographs of your daily drawings at any point during the 10-day challenge and we'll put them up here on our blog and on our Facebook page. Email vandrawdown@gmail.com with jpeg files no larger than 72 dpi, 1024 X 768 pixels, maximum 1MB. You can also upload your drawings using Instagram or an online photo-sharing site like TwitPic, TweetPhoto or yfrog, and send us the link through twitter (@VanDrawDown) or email. You can even post your drawings on our facebook wall!
