Autumn is a season of softness, shedding, and quiet transformation — and there’s beauty in everything that falls. This October, I invite you to explore the poetry of the season through Let It Fall — a 31-day drawing challenge inspired by all things that drift, drop, tumble, unravel, or descend.

Every drawing has to start somewhere—and this month, it starts with letters! The Starts With Challenge is a playful way to stretch your imagination: each day you’ll draw something that begins with the given letter or letter blend. From simple choices like “Starts with A” to trickier prompts like “Starts with STR” or “Starts with YO,” you’ll discover just how much creativity can spark from a single starting point.

Buckle up, artists! This month’s theme is Road Trippin’! Whether you’re riding shotgun or driving solo, this drawing prompt list will celebrate everything from bug-splattered windshields and neon motel signs to surprise detours at the “World’s Largest” attractions.
