The Samurai followed a strict code called Bushido, a rich philosophy system, which emphasized the values of loyalty and honor in death. Samurai lived lives of strict discipline, every action and aspect of their daily routine completely deliberate, from the details on their uniforms to the slightest movement of their blades. They fought fearlessly and lived spiritually.<span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">For this Drawing Challenge, use PicsArt drawing tools to honor the Samurai and lend your skill as an artist to pay tribute to their legacy.<span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"New_Submission_Rules_Deadlines\">New Submission Rules &amp; Deadlines!!!&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>All drawings must be submitted between 9:00 AM (PST) on Saturday, November 9, and 3:00 PM (PST) on Sunday November 10.<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 23px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><span>Come prepared, this week&rsquo;s competition is sure to draw the most skilled artists from the PicsArt community, and you will need to be as sharp as the blade of a sword.
