      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.

                                I really like the way you framed it with the plants.

                                      Great job everyone! I'm afraid the end of the school year sucked my time away like the machine in the Princess Bride, so I won't be able to enter this month. But I love seeing everyone else's work.

                                        @rhirsch Congratulations on being done with the school year. (Hopefully, you didn't lose more than one year of your life! Ha, ha!)

                                        @fauxtoddgraphy Thanks for starting up our FauxContest!
