Forest Folk Worldbuilding Challenge – Prompt 3: The Forest Folk Market

Hello friends and members of the Draw A Day community
We’re back with a new prompt in our worldbuilding challenge where we imagine the everyday life of the Forest Folk. This is an open invitation to artists of all levels be it digital, traditional, beginner, or seasoned to take part in shaping a cozy, curious woodland world through art.

Theme: The Forest Folk Market
Draw a bustling forest marketplace where the Forest Folk gather to trade, barter, and browse. What kinds of stalls might exist in their world? Perhaps a mushroom vendor selling rare glowing caps, a beetle-polished stone trader, woven bark baskets, sap syrup jars, or miniature pet fireflies in mossy jars?

Think of this as the central hub of the woods—a mix of barter, community, and wonder. Show us the stalls, the goods, the sellers, and the curious shoppers.

How to Join:
Create an original drawing or painting inspired by this prompt. Both digital and traditional art are welcome, and all skill levels are encouraged to participate.
