So, I would love some context for this. It's about drawing monsters maybe? It sounds like this isn't the first year its been done? And someone presumably started this hashtag for some reason?

Seconding the desire for context. They are cool, but I'd love to know what this is about.

For fun! This is a really common thing to do among illustration/artist social media. There's already established MerMay, Inktober, etc.
Thank you for this post i love giant monsters!!
