Hello IB Fam,
The veil between the living and the undead is almost sealed. However, there’s still a chance for artists to draw what lies in the shadows. If your mind has conjured cursed fangs, cloaked figures, or haunted faces — now is the time to give your creation life. Submit your Sanguine Sketches now before it’s too late!
🦇THE CHALLENGE:
Grab your pens and brushes, let your imagination bleed onto the page. Let the vampires rise and haunt through your art. Whether you sketch sinister silhouettes, cursed aristocrats, or ancient horror rising from the grave, your artwork must bring to life the undead.
‼️IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:
- Stay on theme. Tie your artwork to the “Awakening of Vampires” Halloween setting.
- Only traditional media will be accepted—this includes works created with pencil, ink, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, oil paint, pastel, colored pencil, marker, physical collage, or other non-digital mixed media. Digital artworks of any kind will not be considered.
- Submissions must be original, created by hand, and photographed/scanned without any types of digital enhancements. Let the raw work speak for itself.
- While inspiration from online sources is welcome, the final piece must be entirely your own. If your work is influenced by another artist, please credit the source appropriately.
