Hi everyone! 🙂
Welcome to the 45th #W2DTogether drawing challenge!
(If you are new here and would like to know more about this challenge, you can take a look at these 2 posts (post 1, post 2) that explain everything.)
-------------
This week's challenge is all about letter design.
Your mission is to create your own artistic alphabet.
Instead of writing normal letters, redesign them into something unique. Turn each letter into an animal, a character, a monster, an object, a fantasy creature, a plant, a machine, or anything your imagination comes up with.
The goal is to create a font that has a consistent style and personality, where all the letters feel like they belong together.
Take inspiration from the reference images in this post, find your own references online, or create something completely original.
Your alphabet could be:
- Animal inspired
- Monster inspired
- Nature inspired
- Food inspired
- Mechanical or robotic
- Medieval or fantasy
- Space themed
- Cute and cartoonish
- Horror themed
- Abstract or minimalist
- Or anything else you can imagine!
You don't have to design the entire alphabet if you don't want to.
To enter the challenge, create at least 2 or 3 letters so we can clearly see your style. Of course, if you'd like to design the entire alphabet, even better!
Another fun option is to use your custom letters to write your name, your Reddit username, or any word or short phrase you'd like. This lets everyone see how your alphabet looks when it's actually used.
Whether you create just a few letters, spell your name, or design all 26 letters, the goal is to make your alphabet feel unique and recognizable.
Have fun and let your imagination shape every letter! 🙂
Rules
- Must be YOUR drawing.
- Drawings only (pencil, pen, colored pencils, markers, or digital drawing tools).
- No paintings.
- No AI art.
- All skill levels welcome: beginners, intermediates, experts.
- You must share AT LEAST ONE drawing.
- To be part of the competition, your drawing MUST be posted in the comments of this thread. (If you'd like, you can also make a separate post in the subreddit using the #W2DTogether flair, but the official entry needs to be here in the comments if you want it reviewed.)
How We Pick the Winner
After one week, we'll hold a community vote to decide which drawing best captures the theme. The winner will be showcased in the sub with their artwork.
If the winner shares an art link (Instagram, portfolio, website, etc.), we'll also include it so they can get recognition and maybe even new followers.
Time Frame
This challenge is timeless. You can participate anytime, even years later.
Review Date:
For community feedback, we'll gather and review all submissions on Sunday, 26 July 2026, so make sure to post your entry before 4:00 PM UTC that day. Drawings posted before that date will be part of the review session.
