Huevember 2026: the rules and a hue for every day
When Inktober ends on October 31, many artists move straight on to Huevember: one drawing a day through November, each built around one main colour. Animator Matthieu Daures started it in 2014 as a follow-up to Inktober, in a post inviting anyone to join.
The rules
- One drawing a day, from November 1 to November 30.
- One main hue per day. Other colours can appear, but the hue of the day should lead.
- Any subject and any medium: character design, illustration, digital or traditional.
- Share it with #Huevember and #Huevember2026.
The challenge has no single official colour order, and many artists make their own wheel. Below is a simple one you can use: it starts at red and moves 12 degrees around the colour wheel each day, so you end on crimson after a full circle.

The hex codes are the pure, fully saturated version of each hue. You are free to go lighter, darker or duller: the hue is what counts, not the exact shade.
Tips
- Play with value. One hue can still give you a full range from almost white to almost black.
- Plan the hard days. Greens and purples are where most people get stuck; sketch ideas for them early.
- Keep it small. A quick daily sketch beats a big piece you never finish.
