JUNE CONTEST: A very different kind of prompt!

[swedishbear]

Hi all,

Thanks Will for a great prompt- it inspired me to enter the contest for the first time. As soon as I read it I knew I wanted to draw a portly alligator.

[Heather Boyd]

@swedishbear love the monkey's expression -he pushed his cockiness a tad too far lols -and I think it is well rendered too.

[swedishbear]

@Heather-Boyd I’m glad the expression reads; that was probably the toughest part! I imagined it’s how I’d feel if my plan to get swallowed by an alligator actually worked.

@swedishbear Awww I love the chubby alligator! It makes me think that's what Bongo was teasing him about, poor Clyde! Hahah. Bongo has such a beautiful silhouette! Glad you entered the contest!

@Maiia this a wonderful style!

[swedishbear]

@MirkaH love the fish bones in the belly!

[MirkaH]

This was so much fun to imagine and work on my digital art skills. It’s all done all in procreate. Love seeing everyone’s interpretations of the story.

[MirkaH]

@swedishbear thanks Heidi! I made a few more tweaks and resubmitted.

[Rachel Horne]

Hi everyone,
My name is Cathy "Myriam"Spee and this is my first time entering.
I found SVS trough YouTube and I loved the podcasts so much I decided to join this awesome group of illustrators.
My roots come from computer animation, but my life took me to graphic design, teaching and some entrepreneurial journeys. My dreams has always been illustration and I hope to keep learning new techniques at SVS learn. Any critiques are welcome.

Happy I finished this time (and with time to spare! woo!) It's done entirely in watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, and pen for the eyes.

@MirkaH I really like the sketchiness of the lines And the composition of the spread works really well too

[aprilshin]

@Mary-Toth Oh my gosh, the gator-infested river, yeeeess! Hahaha these gators remind me of empanadas, they are so dang cute!! Awesome shapes and colors!

[cathy spee]

@Maiia I must say I LOVE your color palette. Your perspective and character design is awesome.
Love what you did.

I definitely had fun with this one! It's interesting to see how everyone interprets the story. I played in Procreate, until I was satisfied and then used that as a map for watercolor, my comfort zone. I'm still learning to work back and forth between the two.
