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…

Now just to do my formal write up of the end of the last challenge before Monday…
I’m in this time for sure!
Mmm… not easy with my 5-months baby boy, but I’m in, too!
I’m going to try my best to participate! If nothing else, I’ll definitely be around to behold the lovely creations by you fine folks in the Clubhouse!
I really want to participate in this one, the 12 week challenge at the same time that a 3 month trip in Spain wasn’t a good idea.
I will be back in town by Monday, so yes! I will participate
This is ideal. I completed 2 last challenge, so four more will round out the goal I set for my portfolio. Also, this will dovetail nicely with our local SCBWI project “Cover Art & Tear Sheet-Red Riding Hood” in which I will complete three scenes and one cover design for submission by Sept. 4th. This is important to me because the submissions will tour the state and end up back at the conference in October.
Yep, long answer to say I’m in!!
Thanks Jonathan
Sounds like fun!
Count me in!
It’s great to have the opportunity to keep on with the challenges - thank you!
I should be done with my latest project this week, so I should be able to join in! Thanks!
