@chrisaakins yes they were selected the first week of April. They will be announced when the blog post with their Q&A goes up next week. I will post about it on the form as an announcement too.

[AustinShurtliff]

@Jeremy-Ross too sure. Thanks for participating agin! I really like the concept in your first piece.

[AustinShurtliff]

@Wen-Sylvestre Thats great! Thank you for sharing your work. The new curriculum is pretty cool. I would love to hear more about your experience with the curriculum.

@AustinShurtliff thank you, I'd be happy to. I started only recently and am almost at the end of the first course, the shapes one by Jake. And learned a LOT. He's really good in breaking down the steps and making his points clear. Already I find myself drawing differently, thinking more in building structure through shapes instead of randomly trying to figure out a complex shape and then ending up with wonky stuff. And I also automatically started seeing the negative space. The tools Jake gives in his course do this trick.

And what's more, usually I'm rather impatient when it comes to learning and I tend to skip steps (and find myself in trouble later on). But not this time. Jake gets me happily drawing basic shapes and stuff that I usually wouldn't think of drawing (like a toy canon). So many thumbs up for this course and looking forward to the rest of the curriculum! I'll try not to skip ahead but really stick to the track this time, because the way the curriculum is structured seems really logical to me. I think it will give a great foundation.

Hi @nadyart, the deadline is normally the last day of the month for a chance to be featured the next month. If the last day of the month is during the weekend then someone isn't normally selected until the following Monday.

Thanks for sharing your work! I really love the texture in your mermay image.
