(Text updated in January 2025, et en français ici !)
We are two friends who really appreciate graphic arts but have not made it our main activity. The creative challenge «12 months 12 drawings» was therefore born from our desire to draw more regularly, and the rhythm of one drawing per month seemed to us to be a motivating and at the same time relatively realistic challenge. The project has existed since 2021, and many people have joined and supported us since! ;)

How does it work and accepted techniques :
Each month we offer you a theme - whether it's a word, a quote, a song, etc. - and it's up to you to make it your own.
If the project is literally called «12 months 12 drawings», we nonetheless accept other techniques: painting, knitting, collage, feel free to use any medium that inspires you.
If that doesn't hinder your creativity, please prefer a square format, but no obligation.
Draw'n'Drink and workshops :
For people living in Geneva, we organize monthly Draw'n'Drink sessions, where we invite you to meet up to draw together! Dates, times and locations are announced on the dedicated page and on our Signal and Telegram groups.
From 2025, we are trying to organize 1 to 2 workshops per year in Geneva with local artists. They are announced on the Workshops page.

The easiest way is to send us your image by email to 12mo12dra@gmail.com
