        This is really lovely. I’ve just re-read the prompt and could the items inside the garage now be outside the garage as they’ve been blown out of it?

        For this prompt, we want to know the story behind the creation, so we are looking for a full-page illustration. Spend time brainstorming some objects you can fill the garage with that will help tell us even more about Riley and what happened.

        I would hope it’s plausible that some of the items will now be outside as long as the items help tell the story.

          Hi @ruth, this piece looks so fun and I like the energy and emotion of it. Nice composition and cute character design.

          Ehmm.. without the text, the image could read as if she happened to discover a flying machine in the garage and fly away, but not she created it... maybe it's just me. Maybe she can hold some tools in her hands and some greasy oil on her shirt, it'll be more obvious.

            What a cute sketch! Love it!

            Yeah, I think I'm going to go back to the drawing board and get a more tinkering kind of vibe. Embrace the garage lol.

              @ruth I think this works great for the prompt! What if there was just a big hole in the top of the garage like she flew out if it? That would accomplish the text and you'd get this super fun image you're excited about.

                Thanks for the encouragement @DoodleMick, @chrisaakins and @Jeremy-Ross ! Much appreciated 🙂

                Good idea @lizardillo! Yes, of course, there's no reason why there can't be objects scattered around the garage from the blast! Thank you!

                Thanks for your feedback @aurelia. Yes, you're right, I need to make it look like she's actually built it. Great suggestions!

                Thanks @Elinore-Eaton! I think in truth I was hoping to meet the brief without having to draw a garage full of objects. Which is probably a good reason for actually doing it. 😬 Good luck with embracing your garage!

                Thanks @carlianne! There is actually a hole in the garage roof but I realise I haven't made it very obvious. Too busy trying to invent a flying machine. 🙂 Hopefully the value sketch will make it clearer.

                    @ruth I really do like the angle! I think the main problem for me is that it feels a little too empty in the middle and it feels divided down the middle

                        Thanks @phoenix-yip. Yes, I see what you mean. I was wondering about putting the words in there. I'll play around with it a bit more and see if I can make it a bit more balanced.
