I had a workshop with Mark (& Shari Blaukopf) in Portland, OR several years ago. It was so hot, Mark couldn't demonstrate his way of doing a watercolor wash because it dried instantly! He was such a good teacher (they both were).
I've not done either of his challenges. I usually do Inktober, drawing with various ink techniques daily. I don't follow the prompts, though.
I agree with Marc about how sometimes we don’t like things we find out while researching art history, He mention Degas said something about a female artist that was friend of him, I wonder if he was referring to Mary Cassatt and what he said was “I can't believe a woman can draw this well.”
I just finished listening to this episode. Thank you for this one. I have been following Marc's work since before he did Craftsy classes and find him an intriguing and challenging conversation partner.
Nishant, I am curious if you follow Austin Kleon. He has done quite a bit of writing and discussion about learning in public and then publishing his books out of that public learning. His little book show your work is probably the most focused aspect of that, but it is a core ethos for him.

Excellent podcast with Marc Taro Holmes.
I only have tried OneWeek100people and inktober.
