      JUNE ILLUSTRATION CONTEST: TREEHOUSE

      Ok guys, the basic theme of this months challenge is TREEHOUSE. That means a treehouse needs to be incorporated into your work in some way. As always, images with strong storytelling AND technical ability will tend to do better. Try to come up with something new and awesome. Think about who built the treehouse, why they built a treehouse, and what it means to the story you are telling.

      Paste your images into this thread and let's see what you got!!!

      Good Luck!!

                        @Eric-Castleman Yes, that rabbit! I noticed that girl immediately, but then I saw that rabbit and it absolutely stole my heart away.

                            Thank you all so much. I am glad you like it, and the rabbit definitely was fun to put together. Everyone here has helped me so much over the last 11 months, and I can point out numerous things in this piece that are the product of many people on these forums, as well as the classes at SVS. So it is great to get everyones approval here.

                                Hello,
                                Just joined here and would love to join this contest quick question does it have to be a digital illustration or can it be hand painted?

                                  @ambiirae it can be anything. There are a lot of artists here that work traditional.

                                          @Lee-White Okay. I actually played around a bit today with an idea. BTW, I have a question. I am going to redraw my current book dummy better. For one thing I am going to put all my spreads onto one sheet instead of on two! Also, I am sure that I can improve on my drawings. I know it will never be perfect and I kind of need to finish it before I get so sick of it it completely loses any joy that might come from painting it! Are there people who will just look at a dummy once it is set (I am self-publishing) and give me feedback? I know you are going to be doing those things where you go over portfolio's and help with selling and all that-I can't remember what it was called but, I was thinking it would be nice to have someone at least just look at my dummy and give me some professional feedback on the layout and composition, etc. before I start painting. I really want to finish this book but I want it to look as good as my ability allows at this point in my quest to improve πŸ™‚ Thanks!
