Tommy Pinedo
Hello artists of proko! I’m back with a new challenge! Christmas isn’t just lights and gifts, it’s memories, emotions, faith, family, quiet moments, joy, longing, warmth, or even nostalgia. For this challenge, create one artwork inspired by what Christmas means to you. ✏️ You can interpret this however you want: • A favorite childhood memory • A peaceful winter moment • A biblical Christmas story • A cozy scene • Something joyful, bittersweet, or reflective 🎨 Medium: • Drawing, sketching, painting, digital or traditional • Any style, any skill level ⏱️ Time: • As quick or as detailed as you like • Gesture sketches welcome • Finished pieces welcome 🎁 The goal: This isn’t about perfection, it’s about expression and connection. Share your piece and, if you want, a sentence about what inspired it. Bonus Points: tag at least 1 artist to join this challenge and comment on one post when it’s showtime! Deadline: Christmas Day! 🎄 🎁 🎅🏻 but you may begin sharing your art starting on 12/21. Let’s celebrate creativity, reflection, and the season together!

I wanted to draw a memory I have from when I was a kid. We went to a resort in the mountains in Puerto Rico. It doesn't get very cold in Puerto Rico, but in places like that it does at that time of year. I remember it as a really fun time. Lots of singing and eating. I met this girl sitting on a rock and we talked and played for a long time. I don't remember her name or know whatever happened to her. But it was a fun day.
Tommy Pinedo
I love this and the wholesome story. Yeah I would have wondered what happened to that girl too lol.These are memories that stay with us forever…. Thank you for sharing that and Merry Christmas! 🎄

This was a comp for a Christmas card that I didn't quite finish in time to mail for the holidays, which seems to be a lasting tradition at this point! Happy Holidays!!

So lately I have been studying and practicing hands from the Ultimate Sketching course. I wanted to do something with hands and I had drafts of sketches with different hand poses. I kept sketching and exploring until I found a good one and I landed on the Grinch hand holding an ornament. I tried my best to have the flow and gesture of his hand. This was all ball point pen, I think next time I am going to use markers to color. Happy holidays everyone and a Merry Christmas! :)
Patrick Bosworth
Love it!! Thanks for starting the challenge!!
