After the quiet of the first few weeks, the downtown energy is slowly building back up. This mini-challenge is about taking form, the steam, the textures that keep the streets alive even on the coldest days.

Full Prompt List

• Steam & Vents
  Draw those thin trails of steam curling up from a subway or a manhole cover into the morning air.

• Morning Commute
  Draw a single person or more in a heavy coat or a bicycle chained to a street lamp waiting for its rider.

• The Flower Bucket
  Draw sidewalk buckets of bright flowers sitting outside a corner shop.

• Shadowed Alley
  Draw the narrow perspective between two tall buildings, focusing on the fire escape, or the deep shadows.
