Lucky Draw Challenge was a collaborative weekly character design project from Fabiana Santiago and I that ran from June 2017 to September 2018.
The idea was simple: we each picked an idea, mashed them together as a brief, illustrated it and posted every Wednesday with the hashtag #luckydrawchallenge. Then we invited illustrators to partake and we shared their illustrations on social media.
We had a blast working on and running this project for over a year but eventually it became too much work for us to run a community project alongside our own books so we have now finished running it.
