      Seriously, that's probably the worst thing about any contest--having to choose a winner out of so many good things!

              Here's mine.

              Edit: I found time to make a few small tweaks.

                Wasn't going to enter this month's competition, but decided to practice some more digital pencil sketching and whip something up last minute. I call it "a painting of a polar bear pretending to be a panda" (say that quickly!)

                    @fauxtoddgraphy I like that way you think. Funny enough, I've been doing several b/w pieces recently. Thanks for thinking of it.

                        I really wanted to loosened up this month. This is looking more like a dark whimsical story! & perhaps needs a bit more before calling it an actual portfolio piece, but I had fun creating! Any crit thoughts on it is greatly appreciated! -Todd

                            I just happened to be finishing up a black and white piece when I saw this. I posted it in another thread, but I'll put it here as well to throw my hat in the ring.

                                  @gary-wilkinson Yes, but I thought I'd push myself to do a new one. I attended a conference recently where I heard from an art director and literary agent that including a b/w section one your online portfolio is a good thing, particularly if you're interested in illustrated for middle grade books, which I am.

                                    Thanks again to @jon-anderson & @gary-wilkinson for your helpful critiques!

                                        @jody Welcome to the forums! Your mouse is cute, even if it is dead. 😞
                                        I really like the way you framed it with the plants.
