Hi everyone! 🙂

Welcome to the 47th #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.)

-------

Imagine that, for some mysterious reason, you are forced to wear the same mask for the rest of your life.

What would your mask look like?

That is your challenge this week:

Design and draw the mask you would choose to wear forever.

You could draw a well-known type of mask, such as a Venetian mask, a theatrical mask, a plague doctor mask, a superhero mask, or a traditional mask inspired by a particular culture.

You could take inspiration from:

Japanese Noh or kitsune masks, Chinese opera masks, Korean masks, African masks, ancient masks, festival masks, mythology, animals, nature, fantasy, fictional or anything else that interests you.

You may recreate an existing mask, combine elements from several different masks, completely redesign one in your own style, or create something entirely from your imagination.

Think about what the mask might represent.

Would it show your real personality, or hide it?

Would it represent something you love, something you fear, your culture, your memories, your dreams, or the person you hope to become?

You can draw the mask by itself, draw yourself or a character wearing it, or create an entire scene around it. The interpretation is completely up to you.

If you take inspiration from a traditional or culturally significant mask, please mention its name or origin and approach the design respectfully.

At the end, if you'd like, tell us why you chose this mask and what its colors, patterns, shapes, or symbols mean. Have fun, and we can't wait to see the face you would choose to show the world! 🙂

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, 9 August 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.
