Let’s celebrate diversity! Our newest challenge is to draw yourself, whether it be a spot-on representation or a more creative and interpretative self-portrait - every selfie is welcome.
The only requirement, you may ask? Using crayons as the primary medium.
Inspired by Crayola’s new line of products, “Colors of the World.” This new set of 24 skin tone crayons have been formulated to better represent people around the world. The new collection will be accompanied by colored pencils and markers with an upcoming release date.
Everyone is welcome to participate and upload their selfie (US and International), but make sure to read the submission guidelines to ensure you qualify to be entered to win a prize!

Whether it's providing tools to put a purple octopus on the moon, or enabling teachers to bring arts-infused learning into the classroom, Crayola is passionate about helping parents and educators raise creatively alive children who we believe will grow to be inspired, original adults.

I didn’t know crayons could do this. This is my first time doing a self-portrait as well as a first for making something impressive with crayon.

Crayons on paper. Self portrait. Serious expression on election night. The orange skin shows what is serious about it.

I am glad to see Crayola putting out these different skin tone crayons, 'Colors of the World'! I have mixed a few of the colors to create my self-portrait. My friends describe me as animated and goofy so rather than rendering my self-portrait realistically (which is a challenge in itself, in a medium I am not used to!), I created a some-what caricature of myself with the drawing utensil in my hair. And I couldn't help but add people-like silhouettes in the background using all of Crayola's Colors of the World!

I love coloring so much, so hard, I ripped the page. That purple blot is a sticky-note attached to the back side to masquerade the rip I made. Thanks, Crayola, for all the pictures and all the lovely smells over the years. (I'm a dad, an illustrator, and a teacher in Greenville, SC.)
Katie Paiva
I'm a self taught artist who has used Crayola colored pencils, crayons, and markers for a long time. I was thrilled to find a box of the new skin colors! No longer do we have to use just orange, yellow, brown, and peach etc. for skin colors with crayons!

I am living in a colorful world.
