      OK! I learned my lesson last month to put this out there rather than leave things till the last minute and not have anyone see it! lol. Comments welcome!

      It's not quite finished yet, and I've done it as a spread.

              @KathrynAdebayo Haha, whoops guys. I just realized that penguins don't live in the arctic. They're only in the southern hemisphere. A good lesson on researching thoroughly before submitting something!

                  @Jeremy-Ross The colors on the second one say it's fall and time to go back to school!

                    It was my birthday last week so I gifted myself a little time (but alas not enough!) to take part this month. A little plea for the prompt to come in earlier next month!

                    My Albert is a pine marten who has hitherto led a very quiet life, but over the summer holidays he made friends with Lizzie, a little human girl. She finds school hard and prefers to be out exploring the woods, but maybe Albert’s enthusiasm for making friends and finding the fun in the classroom will prove infectious? When I was drawing this I was thinking of late summer and early autumn mornings when the weather is balanced between warmth and chill. It’s a UK primary school, hence the uniforms and the small, more higgledy piggledy school buildings.

                    I tried to show both them looking into the playground and their view of the playground at the same time. Not sure if that worked really, and I definitely didn’t manage to allocate the preferred 80/20 distribution for the details but hey, I actually finished something, which is the beauty of the monthly contest for me as my chances to draw are squeezed between study and work and my family!

                    Loving the different takes so far and looking forward to seeing what comes in as the deadline looms!

                      Taking it down to the wire again! Here's my entry for Alberts first day at school. Any feedback would be appreciated... been second-guessing myself on the comp and values.

                      So glad I started doing these, definitely learning a lot. Good luck everyone!

                              @Iain-Davidson My Latin teacher in Middle school wore that exact same sleeveless jumper! I love this concept, I think it's great!

                                @Annaaronson Love Amos's expression. Like, Dude! What are you doing?! Also, so clever to have 'NO' in the background.

                                  As always everyone has done a great job on these. Iain you’ve got a good story in your picture and beautifully drawn and coloured - I can’t see that getting beaten.

                                    This is my attempt. I ignored all the rules about drawing and just had fun with it. It’s a bit raw.

                                        @Janette Thank you!! The "No" is so obvious and I totally didn't mean to do that, or notice it! lol! I am so glad you pointed it out though!

                                          @Annaaronson Oh lol! I thought it was like 'No! We do not eat the paper towels!'

                                            My Albert loves being the centre of attention, he's wasted no time in making sure everyone knows all about him 🙂
