Sonic the Hedgehog news outlet Tails' Channel and comics news aggregator IDWSonicNews today announced the return of the free fan art event marking the franchise's 35th anniversary.

In *35 Days of Sonic*, participants create one Sonic-themed drawing per day to post on social media with the hashtag #35DaysSonic. Each day has a prompt, and artists can work in any style or medium, similar in format to *Inktober*. 

No registration is required, and participation is open on all social media platforms. Posts under #35DaysSonic may be signal boosted by the IDWSonicNews and Tails' Channel social channels during the event.
