APRIL CONTEST: Design the Coolest Treehouse in the World!

[PenAndrew]

@Johanna-Kim Each image took at least 10 hours not including the drawing- sketch phase.

[Asyas_illos]

@lizardillo love those bites!

[Kim Rosenlof]

I meant for this to be more wizard-looking, but my family told me the little characters looked like gnomes. Oh well.

[AngelinaKizz]

@Griffin I save mine to files, then name it. When they did the lucky critiques, I saw that my layer in the critiques was named the same way I saved it.

[Kim Rosenlof]

I went a little overboard on this one with all the birds and cat, so it is not as much of an environment piece as a story, but I thought I would put here anyway.
There are a lot of really cool treehouses that everyone has submitted. Now I wish I had a tree that I could build a cool treehouse in.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@lizardillo This is great! What a clever idea.

[Johanna Kim]

@Melissa_Bailey So inventive!

[Johanna Kim]

@Kim-Rosenlof Such a creative, fun concept. Love this!

[Valerie Light]

This treehouse is for people like me, who love to be inside when it's snowy outside.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Johanna-Kim Thanks! It was fun to do.

[Valerie Light]

And this one isn't so much a tree 'house' as it is a really active windy tree to play in!

[Asyas_illos]

@Valerie-Light beautiful!

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Valerie-Light Wow! This is cool and the colors are nice. I love the smore store. Yum!

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Valerie-Light This is lovely too. I love it. It fun to see the colors and all the fun things they are doing.

Such inspiring and creative submissions, everyone! In response to last month's crit arena, my goals were to keep the palette bright, make the characters and situation relatable, and be mindful of the clarity of the image. I also tried to minimize the environmental impact of the house on the tree, hence the tent design. It was really difficult to come up with something that didn't look like some kind of alien pod. Nothing wrong with that, but not the concept I was looking for. Next time I want to be better about posting earlier and exchanging feedback. This month was all about pushing myself to finish a drawing.

@Johanna-Kim thank you! It was really hard to think up a "cool" treehouse. I am SO not a cool person!

[andreazupcsan]

Environmental design is hard for me, I’m glad this month forced me into something different. Good work everyone!

[Griffin McPherson]

@Asyas_illos you can name it this way but I just click on the title in the gallery view and change it there.

[Griffin McPherson]

@AngelinaKizz thanks, I’ll give that a shot!

[juliemillardart]

I tried traditional mediums this time. I’m excited to see everyone’s treehouses!
