JULY CONTEST: Albert needs a home!

[Janette]

How did the end of July come round so fast?! I kinda rushed this. Hope that's not too obvious. I've had my idea for a while, but didnt start it till this morning!

@Megan-van-der-Berg The pig in the window is so cute. I love the collage style in your design for this one. It's really fun. Have you ever seen the work of illustrator Samantha Cotterill? She make these cardboard sets which she photographs for kids books - really cool little environments.

@Iain-Davidson This came out great! Can see you spent a lot of time on it. Love the different ways you've incorporated the various sea vessel elements. The periscope letterbox is really clever.

@Robert-Maine Thanks Robert Appreciate the support. I like the ink and watercolour style of your piece this month. I've never gotten the hang of using inks, it's something I'd like to practice more.

Albert house

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Asyas_illos Thank you! At first I didn't have a smiley face, so I drew a house that had eyes, a nose and a mouth, but it looked weird. So I had the thought to have Albert draw the face on the house with the mud he had been playing with. It showed the house with a little more character, and also showed Albert being mischievous..
Are you going to still enter the contests even though you had to stop your subscription?

[Asyas_illos]

@Kim-Rosenlof lol I started up the free 30 days to get another month in! We’ll see what happens after that…
