      Hi! I was so excited to see the updates to HTFYA! I have never submitted a piece before, and I'm a little intimidated by the beautiful and amazing talent I see daily on this forum. Here is my first humble submission to this board!

      Thank you for any comments or suggestions!

        Traditional work could use some fixing 😉

            @allysa It already looks amazing! And congrats on winning the SCBWI Draw This prompt for last month! 🥳 It was a well-deserved win. 😊

              @AustinShurtliff Quick question... is there an age requirement for entering artwork? I remember critique arena had one but this seems a bit different. Thank you!

                Hello! This is the first time I submit work here, but this piece has been a pain to work with since I can seem to handle the color scheme and the foreground with the plants.

                Seeing so many great pieces is amazing and inspiring!

                Thank you in advance!

                  @KathrynAdebayo, that is a great question! I'll ask the team and see what they say.

                    @Sonia-Merkel, great work! I remember the first time I submitted to the Third Thursday contest that SVS did back in the day.

                        Flight HTFYA Marc Robinson.jpg

                        This is my submission for "Flight". I got so much good advice from the WIP thread where all the critiques were super helpful. Don't be afraid to post your works in progress over there. It helped my image loads, and the guys were really tactful with their critiques. As you can see, these cats are escaping prison in a makeshift flying machine. I don't think it's going to make it very far for some reason (it doesn't look very air-worthy). Inspired by the Minions escaping prison scene from the Despicable Me 3 film 😂

                              I'm Marta. I'm not sure if this is telling the story I want it to tell. She is suppossed to be weaving a world, a landscape. I would really like to improve all that there is to improve...it's been a while since I did this illustration and I cant get this character out of my head.

                                I am new to critiquing, but very keen for feedback.
                                I’m not sure if my style is old fashioned… of course, it is. My hero is the 19th century Arthur Rackham. But I may need to experiment to reach today’s kids.IMG_2759.jpeg

                                    Here's my play on the prompt "flight". I've just realised that if you click on the images added to this thread you can see a higher resolution image with a bit less compression (although there's still quite a lot of compression 😥 ).

                                        @JennyWren I think this is just gorgeous! Lovely underlying line work and beautiful glow to your colors. May I ask what medium/ program/s your using?

                                          @Martanoemi She’s beautiful and I think her story reads well.

                                            My take on the prompt "Flight".
