​✨March 2024 Colour Palette Prompt List
✨2024 January Art Prompt List 

Looking for even more art prompts? Here are a few great prompts I keep my eye on and sometimes participate in throughout the year!

1. @clr_collective - Instagram
For those looking to explore new colour palettes, Colour Collective posts a new single colour to work with every week! You'll try out new colours you might not have explored, plus you will discover other artists in this social colour prompt journey! Share your posts with #colour_collective

2. @inktober - Instagram
A yearly October tradition! Every year a new art prompt is created for #inktober - a 31 day daily drawing challenge. Possibly the biggest instagram art prompt event around, inktober has amassed over 1.2 million followers on instagram - to give you an idea of just how far reaching this art prompt is for artists and art appreciators. Share your drawings created with the Inktober prompt with #inktober and #inktober2025!

3. Spoonflower Art Challenge Prompts
If you're a print-on-demand pattern designer or fabric purchaser, then you're probably no stranger to Spoonflower! Every 2 weeks Spoonflower hosts a challenge with their artist community. They will post a new art prompt, and you design your latest pattern around it. I love these prompts because they are usually centered around seasonal, niche topics - often giving you topics that you might not have explored otherwise. You also get 2 weeks to work on each prompt, giving you more time to finish a polished piece. Last but not least, if you're a Spoonflower member, the added benefit of seeing how your entry stacks up against other artists is a welcome challenge!

Happy drawing, and happy October 🍂👻✨


Tanya Draws
--
Interested in my art? I create playful, hand-drawn patterns inspired by cats, nature, and everyday life. You can find a curated collection of my best selling designs available on drinkware, accessories, and gifts at Tanya’s Market.

I’m so excited to finally announce the launch of my brand-new website, Tanya’s Market! This has been a dream project of mine, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Tanya’s Market is where my illustrated patterns come to life on everyday products — from quirky mugs and fun drinkware to unique home décor and gift ideas for every occasion. Each design is created with love and a touch of playfulness, perfect for anyone who enjoys adding personality and charm to their daily routine.

✨ What you’ll find at Tanya’s Market:

• Cat-themed gifts for fellow cat lovers (yes, including mugs featuring mischievous cats knocking things over!).
• My best sellers: I'm adding a small, curated collection of my all time best selling products you've enjoyed on websites like Society6, RedBubble and Zazzle.
• Seasonal and quirky patterns that make gift-giving fun, whether you’re shopping for birthdays, holidays, or “just because.”
• A wide variety of cute, artistic accessories designed to brighten your space and your day.
• Products designed in my newest patterns.

✨ Shopping & Shipping

In order to offer you a wide range of my unique patterns on high quality products, I've partnered with Fourthwall to provide the shipping and production of my products. This means that each item is printed and produced specifically for your order. It also allows me to offer my designs to customers in more countries, as production and shipping can take place in facilities closer to your home country. As someone who lives in Canada, shipping to other countries can be challenging so this was a great solution!

Shopping at Tanya’s Market is simple, and each collection is organized to make it easy to discover new favourites or find the perfect gift. Whether you’re a cat mom, a plant enthusiast, or just love quirky, artsy products, there’s something here for you.

This site is more than just a shop — it’s a celebration of creativity, self-expression, and finding joy in the little things. I’d love for you to explore the collections, share your favourites, and let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for supporting my art and helping me bring Tanya’s Market to life. I have so many fun designs in the works, and this is only the beginning.

One of my newest patterns is this Mallards swimming in the water pattern. I live close to a lake in my home province of Ontario, Canada, and I go on daily walks down near the water. I love my daily lake walks, the sights are beautiful, the sound of the water is peaceful, and you can see birds enjoying the water there daily. So much so that they become just an expected part of the landscape. To capture this part of my daily life, I thought of drawing one of my favourite parts of the lake - the ducks that swim near the inlets & piers.
I drew the mallards lightly gliding through the water, creating soft ripples that is reminiscent of the calm water these ducks enjoy in Lake Ontario. I've also continued my exploration of the app ProCreate with this pattern - The iPad & Apple Pencil are proving to be a very powerful combo, and procreate has tons of great options to help create digital art, whether you are going for more of a traditional look or more digital. I was happy with the results, and hope you enjoy this little piece of nature from my daily life!

This pattern is listed for sale on a variety of websites - on art prints, home decor, apparel & more. With the whole lake vibes of this pattern, I've envisioned it on apparel for fishing trips and lake cottage decor. The strong teal colours add a pop of vibrance to wherever this pattern is used, while the pattern itself is quite simple.

Find this pattern on more products below! Including wallpaper & fabric from spoonflower - you'll be seeing more spoonflower additions from me in the future so be sure to check it out if you do any home sewing!

My whimsical pastel clouds pattern is based on another illustration I drew as part of my daily drawing series in January. During my series, I experimented with a wide variety of styles, colour palettes and digital drawing techniques. Each piece turned out so unique, and I've been working my way through each illustration, finalizing them as patterns to add to my art shops. Not every illustration has made the cut, but the drawing challenge was a great start to the new year, and gave me the creative spark I needed in the middle of my pure winter laziness.

This was one of my favourites. It was one of the more simple illustrations that I created, but I liked the overall look, colour palette and playful lines. The whimsical, swirly lineart paired with the pastel colour palette gives the final piece a soft, daydreamy, feel. I added less details than I usually would to an illustrated pattern, but I wanted to play around with colour & size for this piece. 

I've added this pattern to my Society6, RedBubble and Zazzle shops, so it is available on a wide variety of products and gift ideas. The soft clouds and stars paired with the shades of purple would be a lovely addition to a nursery or baby bedroom. I've shared a photo of this pattern as a wallpaper from Society6 below... along with fitting into a nursery theme, I've seen some really creative uses for wallpaper, and this pattern would also make a fantastic DIY backdrop for a bookshelf or closet nook with its dreamy, relaxing look.
It's also available on a wide variety of home decor, accessories, stationery and crafting supplies, so be sure to take a look through my shop if you enjoy this pattern.

I started the year off with a daily drawing challenge, and I really enjoyed it! It helped me explore new topics for my patterns, and draw things I normally wouldn't draw. I made a point of learning new digital drawing techniques, re-learned procreate, tried new workflows and even explored the Photoshop pattern preview tool instead of building my patterns in illustrator (Pattern preview on photoshop is now my all time favourite thing!). I really felt good about my progress in January, and it was definitely something I needed to get the creativity flowing. 

I have always loved the idea of drawing challenges and art prompts, because they get you to push your personal boundaries and can help expand your range as an artist. That's why I've decided to do another art prompt for the month of March... but this time I'm focusing on colour palettes! 

I have participated in colour prompts in the past, my favourite is hosted by Colour Collective (previously on twitter, now on Instagram!). What colour collective does is posts a new colour each Saturday, and you create a drawing with each featured colour. Then everyone shares together every Friday! If you're in to art prompts, be sure to check them out - they post a new colour every week, plus it is a great way to interact with other like minded creatives & meet new artists.

For my newest art prompt, I've created palettes with 3 colours for each prompt to use as the colour theme. This prompt gives you a new colour theme every 3 days, so you have more time to explore and play around with each palette before starting a new one. Like my previous art prompt, I generated these colour themes randomly with AI - I had no idea what I would get! There are 10 colour palettes in total to explore for March.

If you'd like to participate too, I've included the full March Hues Colour Prompt below, full with colour swatches and hex codes! 

I'm excited to find out where these colours will take me on my newest art prompt Journey! I'll be sharing the artworks I come up with on threads and X using the tag #MarchHuesPrompt - use this tag if you join in!

Enjoy & happy drawing! :)
