JULY CONTEST: Albert needs a home!
-
Dumb question: are we designing a house for the winning Albert, or our own Albert?
-
@Randi-Gordon In these challenges people design for their own characters. It's a great way to build your own personal portfolio to show. Good luck (and have fun with it)!
-
I missed the previous competition so I guess I need to create an Albert first - like, it needs to be tailored to a specific character, I can't just draw a cool/cute house?
-
@neschof I'm in the same boat.
-
So is it supposed to be the home he lives in within the family home or the families home?
-
@neschof @burvantill The mods usually say you don’t have to stick to the character that you created for the month before – so it’s okay if you don’t have an Albert from June.
We probably just need to get who your Albert is at heart from the picture – so, yeah, you will need to know who your Albert is still.
-
@Kevin-Treaccar Exactly! There should be a hint of who/what Albert is: "details and a flair that make it the perfect abode for Albert and his family". I was wondering if Albert should appear or not in the drawing?
-
@KGatto I think it should be the family home... it is understood the exterior of the house should be represented (at 3/4). If Albert should live in a smaller house inside a room of the house then that would be part an interior. If you are thinking of a little house in the larger house's yard .. I don't feel that answers the "Albert lives with a family as a family member" idea...

@Oana @Kevin-Treaccar
I am thinking of adding my "Albert" to the scene just so the details on the house will make more sense if the viewer knows what/who Albert is. Since I didn't do last month's character design I'm making a house for a current character of mine. -
I read this as exterior 3/4 shot. Is that correct? Or is it just 3/4 shot and can be interior?
-
@Kevin-Treaccar I think the whole presentation reads "exterior"... It mentions "a building", it should look "suburban".. maybe an interior could be suggestive too but I think it would be more difficult, no? I also looked at the previous challenge "a house for a Yeti" and those were all exterior representations.
-
I almost always include linework in my work, so I'm trying something a little different on this one.
-
Here is my house design. Time to load it up to the template. -
@Joe-Koz I love the footprints leading to the splash in the pool!
-
Albert arrives at his new home in England. I hope the colours are ok, I did the value / tone thing first so fingers crossed it has worked. Little Albert bear should be the focal point.
I’m much more comfortable with coloured pencil techniques for colouring in.
-
Here is my entry for july. Looking forward to seeing more homes for Albert.
-
@chrisaakins this is amazing. I love the style choice, everything about this home is appealing to me. Great work, you’ve got my vote!
-
Submitted early for a change…Really loving the house entries so far!
-
@Asyas_illos thanks so much! I am glad you like it!
-
@chrisaakins looks exactly like the kind of house I'd like to live in!
