Artists Rejoice, Artists of Legend Challenges Return!
Posted on July 02 2021 by Brittany Lindstrom
Welcome to a new generation of drawing challenges! After a small hiatus, we’re back with some pep in our step and a slew of new challenges for you to engage in! If you’re a veteran of the series, you’ll find there are some minor changes to the usual format. New to the series? Well, welcome aboard!
Now, let’s make some art together!
What are Artists of Legend Challenges?
As creatives, sometimes the ideas flow to us freely. Other times, we need a prompt to get those gears moving. Artists of Legend challenges are intended to be a fun and relaxing way to engage with your craft through Zelda inspired themes. If you have ever followed along or participated in Linktober, it’s a very similar idea. Some of our past themes include a focus on specific games. Or general themes such as flying, flora, and fauna.
AoL challenges are monthly. The theme is posted on the first Friday of each month, with everyone’s hard work shared on the fourth Friday of that same month. While creating a new work for that month’s challenge is highly encouraged, it is not necessary. For example, if the theme of the month is flowers and you’re a cosplayer with a killer Deku Princess ready to go, there is no need to recreate your work. Simply submit it so we can all geek out about your lovely work!
Most importantly, AoL is for everyone. There is no such thing as bad art here and no one is to young or old to share their artistic journey. In similar fashion, cosplay is for everyone. Unnecessarily rude or overly critical in the comments will not be tolerated.
Cool! Any Other Rules I Should Know?
Yes, and thanks for asking!
- All forms of art are accepted. This means you can submit your best drawings, cosplay, crochet work, metallurgy–whatever your craft is!
- All art, of all skill levels is welcome here. But, your work should be clear and easy to see. When taking photos of your work, please make sure they’re in focus and centered with minimal clutter around the image. We want to see your work, not desk clutter!
- Keep your submissions family friendly. The children are watching, after all.
- Stick to the prompt as best you can, but feel free to get creative with it!
- Art theft will not be tolerated.
- You, as the artist, retain full rights to your work! We make no claims to it, and are eternally grateful that you let us share it.
- Submitting to Artists of Legend does not guarantee your work will be shown. We withhold the right to not post your submission based off (but not limited to), adherence to the theme, clarity of the image, or suggestive content.

- Post your work to Twitter or Instagram with #artistsoflegend

Your Next Challenge:
This summer is already proving to be a doozy. With heat waves and rapid cool offs, there’s no telling what the day will bring! In honor of this crazy summer, this month’s challenge is hot and cold. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Whatever you decide is fun!
