5th Annual
#CoffeeSketch2026
January, 2026
Draw your coffee cup or drinking vessel of choice for 31 days

What We'll Do

Beginning Thursday, January 1 -
Saturday, January 31, 2026

Join the Continuous Line Storytelling Group

Draw your coffee in any style, any medium, and share with the Continuous Line Storytelling group.

WHAT WE’LL DO
Every day in January, draw your coffee cup. Or tea. Or a water glass. Or the weird mug you love. You can use continuous line, you can use any style, you can use any medium. The only real point is this: show up and draw. Post your sketch in the Continuous Line Storytelling Facebook group, and if you’re sharing on Instagram use the hashtag #CoffeeSketch2026.

Come every day, or come when you can. No guilt. Just draw.

HOW TO DO IT
Keep it small. Keep it doable. Time limit: 15 minutes
Subject: your cup or drinking vessel of choice
Style: anything
Medium: anything

Posting: daily if you can, whenever you can if you can’t If you want to stay sane and actually finish the month, the time limit matters. Don’t make a masterpiece. Make a mark. Move on.

WHAT YOU NEED
A sketchbook with at least 31 pages
A stack of cheap copy paper for warm-ups
A ball point pen and pens you love

Optional color tools if you want them
Your warm-ups go on the cheap paper
Your “real” sketches go in the sketchbook

WHAT TO DRAW
Anything you drink out of
Yes, it can be continuous line
No, it doesn’t have to be

Meagan will be leading the challenge with livestreams, demos, and straight talk when your brain tries to talk you out of showing up. The repetition of a daily challenge changes your hand, your eye, and your confidence.

Higher Vision through Drawing

- Relief from perfectionism: draw before your brain talks you out of it.
- Nervous system regulation: 15 minutes with a pen can bring you back to center.
- Creative sovereignty: your line is yours, even in a loud, copycat world.
- A real artistic network: we draw alongside each other.

I’m Meagan Burns. I’m an artist and the founder of Art Leap Adventures and Continuous Line Storytelling. I’m originally from Chicago and now based in Mexico City. I lead drawing classes and travel sketch workshops for people who want to loosen up, stop overthinking, and make drawings that feel alive. Continuous line is my home base, but what I really teach is courage with the pen.
