🌧️ November Art Challenge 2025 [FULL LIST]
November Art Challenge 2025 list is here. The 11th month of the year brings… leafless trees, very little color, a lot of rain, and a touch of melancholy. Yay! 🫠
November might not be my favorite month of the year, but it doesn’t deter me from bringing you a short list of social media art challenges you can participate in to brighten up the dull and gray November days. Enjoy!
In this post, I’ll provide you with a list of Instagram November art challenges. *These monthly art challenges start with those I liked the most (but it doesn’t mean that those at the end aren’t worth participating in!)
Huevember
Hosted by: various artists
Originally, Huevember was created by Matthieu Daures in 2014, according to BrushWarriors. Now, years later, it got so universal and popular, there are many variations of it. Below, I’ll give you one variation of the challenge.
Description: Take out your pigments, as this art challenge is for those who love color! In Huevember, artists create a series of artworks using a different color hue as the primary focus for each day of the month.
It’s a great option for painters who want to explore and experiment with various hues. After the challenge’s over, you’ll end up with a diverse and vibrant collection of artworks.

Dinovember
Description: A very unexpected drawing challenge for my taste and, what’s even more surprising, quite popular (the “dinovember” Instagram hashtag has almost 100k posts). Here the rules are simple too: you draw a dinosaur everyday for 30 days in November.

Posevember – Figure Drawing Challenge
Hosted by: Kick in the Creatives
Description: In Posevember, you sketch a human figure every day. Thanks to this challenge, you’ll become more skilled at understanding and depicting body proportions. Focus on:
- the body’s shape and, if time permits, its tones, without concerning yourself with color.
- capturing the dynamic movement of the pose, known as the “line of action.”
Here’s a great list of pose references by Kick in the Creatives. #Posevember
Quick Kick November Drawing Challenge
Hosted by: Kick in the Creatives
Description: For Quick Kick November, create a daily drawing with a brush and ink or paint WITHOUT using a pen or pencil first. The idea is you should spend no more than 15 minutes a day participating in the art challenge. Using a brush right away makes your drawings simpler, without you overthinking the entire process, and you can try making different marks to make your work more interesting and textured. #QuickKickNovember
You can draw anything you like, use use their prompt list below.

Kick Collage Art Challenge
Hosted by: Kick in the Creatives
Description: Every day, make art using cut-out images or found elements. You can create the whole artwork with these or add drawings or paintings on top. In collage, focus on light and dark tones, not just colors. It’s a fun way to learn how contrasting light and dark parts can make your art look great. #KickCollage
The prompt list is the same as for the Quick Kick November Drawing Challenge.
November Art Challenge. Summary
That’s it; I must admit there weren’t many art challenges to choose from. Anyway, I hope you’ll find something for you. Whichever challenge you decide to participate in, remember to post your work on social media to share it with the art community!
