      @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.

        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.

                This treehouse is for people like me, who love to be inside when it's snowy outside. Screen Shot 2022-04-30 at 9.09.38 PM.png

                    And this one isn't so much a tree 'house' as it is a really active windy tree to play in! Screen Shot 2022-04-30 at 9.12.11 PM.png

                            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!

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

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

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

                                        I took a drive to the Sequoia National Forest last weekend to get some inspiration for the treehouse prompt... But those trees are just SO hard to do justice in pictures and illustrations. Either zoom out to see the size of the tree, or zoom in to see the treehouse. Left me "stumped" hahah...

                                        But then on our drive back, we passed by Lake Kaweah & there are a whole bunch of partially submerged trees that just looked so cool and mysterious, I decided to switch gears and go with an underwater treehouse theme.

                                        Another fun prompt with so many inspiring submissions! Awesome job everyone!!merry.millergass_April2022.jpg

                                          @Merry-Millergass What a cool idea. Now I have to look up submerged trees. I love the mood of your piece.
