IT'S HERE!

THE 2026 DRAW DINOS DAILY CHALLENGE! #DRAWDINOSDAILY!

(Thank you to @vergess for the tag name!!!!)

Every day is a different dinosaur!

There is no pressure to draw or not to draw each day, if you tag a piece of art with this tag, I'll reblog it!

It doesn't have to be drawing either, if you want to write poetry or sculpt or whatever, if you tag it, I will reblog!

I'll also seek out stuff for each dinosaur for each day beyond that for the neverending queue monster

A more accessible version of the prompt list is also available here as a google doc for viewing:

But I know how much art prompt followers love a month card to add to things

I would like to thank @plokool, @albertonykus, @otussketching, @thetorterra, @raptorcivilization, @killdeercheer, @verybadpaleontologyjokes, and probably some other folks I'm forgetting for helping me come up with the prompt list without total loss of my remaining sanity, and also editing and proofreading it

(if you notice a typo, please tell me, I'm not proud)

Mayozoic day 20, magpie goose. Might've made the legs a little too orange.

All mikus are canon, and this ones a dinosaur

Look at my delicate little baby!

Mayozoic day 28, dodo. Based on this photo of a model based on modern research (according to Wikipedia, anyway).

Mayozoic day 7, Parargornis messelensis. I love when I'm trying to look up a species and it just shows me the Dutch Wikipedia page, because apparently it doesn't even have one on English Wikipedia. You go, little hummingbird-thing.

Mayozoic day 4, hoatzin. I want to say, "such funky birds!" but I feel like I say that about 90% of the birds I draw for this challenge. It's true though!
