One of the main tasks that a lot of the original ‘12 Week Challenge‘ participants struggled to keep up with (including me) was creating 6 portfolio pieces over a three week period – with the best will in the world, day jobs and family commitments had to take priority.

However, our portfolios are such a crucial part of our self promotion that I think it deserves a challenge all of it’s own – so I’m officially announcing the zero2illo…

The aim of this new challenge is to create 1 targeted illustration for our portfolios each week for 4 weeks. As per the previous challenge, you’ll be able to get critiques and feedback from fellow challengers in the clubhouse (the new one, not the old Ning one as that will cease to exist as of 2oth August).

How to take part:

• Watch out for the weekly task posts on zero2illo as part of the ’4 Week Portfolio Challenge’ (or better still subscribe to the rss feed to make sure you don’t miss them). The challenge starts this coming Monday, the 2nd August.
• Join the new zero2illo clubhouse forum (don’t forget to introduce yourselves to your fellow community members) and take advantage of critiques from your fellow participants throughout each week to help you make the strongest illustrations possible

I’m really excited about this challenge – as you’ll notice, I didn’t get much time to participate in the 12 week challenge but this one’s mine! I hope you’ll join me…
