      @fullerj Thank you a lot. I like your image. Especially the lighting in his stomach.

            I had a lot of fun with this one. I'm hoping for more story prompts like this in the future!

              @jaredhdesign Very nice! I like the drawing, rendering, color palette and the expressions of your characters. This is very clean and nice!

                    Here's my submission. This was a really interesting challenge to try and think of the context as if a client came up to you and gave you a narrative.

                    I had a few different sketches and what I think might have been more interesting illustrations, but I scrapped them all and went back to what I might want to see to help give context to the whole thing if I were to read it in an editorial. So hopefully that's what ultimately comes across.

                    P.S. Did anyone else have to re-draw Bongo? I swear it was difficult to not make him look either evil or creepy lol.

                      @jdubz Love, love your lighting! ...and my Bongo definitely started out creepy. I hated it so much that I took down my first entry and redid the entire thing 😬

                          @sarahlash @deborah-Haagenson thanks I appreciate the kind words. @sarahlash I think this was monkey #4. I think the last one I ended up repainting near the end because he just didn't fit the mood at all πŸ˜›

                            This month was super challenging for me! So many solid fails in my sketchbook that I'm hoping will translate to better projects in July β™₯ And I've LOVED looking through everyone's take on Will's prompt. You all are amazing. JuneSVS_Yoon.png

                              I really enjoyed the prompt this month. Here’s my entry of a clever little monkey scheming his way over to a tree full of ripe oranges.

                              As always, best of luck to everyone and I can’t wait to see what’s brought Into the arena!

                                  @Johanna-Kim Super cute! I don't know why, but I absolutely love the alligator in the background with its eye open πŸ˜†

                                      @Dima-Eichhorn Very cool concept for the prompt! It makes me very curious to see how you would illustrate the rest of the story.

                                        @miranda-hoover Thanks! Yes, that's my favorite part. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, that my favorite part is such a teeny tiny detail. It would be better if the larger action was what I liked best, but I'll consider that for the next piece:)

                                          Hi Everyone!

                                          Here's my June Contest entry. I chose to go with the opening scene where Bongo is just waking up!

                                            Hello there πŸ™‚ I am new on svslearn. I'm looking forward to taking some courses, level up and participate in challenges πŸ™‚
                                            See there are many amazing and creative artworks for the month of June, many Bongo's and Clyde's πŸ™‚ I think Bongo is in som serious monkey-problems this month πŸ™ˆ
                                            Hope my Clyde isn't too scary for a children's book illustration πŸ™‚πŸŠ
