JUNE CONTEST: Meet Albert!

[Melissa_Bailey]

I think I'm officially in cuteness overload! Or going into a cuteness coma...

@Asyas_illos SO cute! Love how you use both orange and aqua in your cat character. Your Albert koala is equally as cute ... and so mischievously artistic. LOVE it.

@williammeany awesome character! The way you convey expressions is impressive.

@kylebeaudette LOVE this character!

@Jeremiahbrown Your character is amazing! Love the texture, the facial expressions, the monocle, the butt crack...

@K-Flagg your traditional work is really nice -- would love to see more of it!

@Jenwardstudio those eyes! What a cutie!

@joosterwijk love the pencil textures in this piece!

@Moana-Maureen love how you stylized your musk ox Albert. Very creative.

@willicreate thanks for adding some context in your elevator pitch. Love how you simplified your Albert -- it upped the cuteness level to 11!

@Randi-Gordon -- love the wide-eyed cuteness. And YES -- I've run into the same problem so many times! Now I try to remember to write down which brushes I'm using ... or copy them into their own folder for that specific project.

@Jennifer-Ward love all that personality you infused into your lines!

@Mary-Toth love your watercolor rendering! Great character design. And way to go, making a possum so cute!

@Rachel-Horne -- wonderful design! You're a master at communicating emotion with only a few lines.

@ellenseal14 -- I can definitely see this cutie being BOTH mischievous and kind!

@ruth -- cute, cute, cute! (And I knew it was a coati right off, so well done!)

@miranda-hoover -- CUTE! And wonderfully rendered. As always!

@Jeremy-Ross -- loving this new style you're trying out.

@Iain-Davidson welcome to the group! Another cute character -- love his face! And love how he's only wearing one sock!

@brettb_draws -- love how you stylized your badger.

@Sara-Nilsson TOO cute! That head! That tail!

@mag -- love, love, LOVE this Albert! Furry? Check. Cute? Double check. Mischievous? Triple check!

@Janette -- oh, this is so well done and ... CUTE! "It's so FLUFFY!" (Not that I'm quoting a popular movie or anything...)

@xin-li -- love that you chose a boar ... and managed to make him cute! Loved seeing your progress posts, love his messiness, and love how he can be a little bit grumpy. ️

I ended up getting sick after family vacation so this ended up being a rush job. My apologies!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@charlottesart thanks so much! ️ I really didn't want to anthropomorphize him by putting him in clothes, so his cheekiness was a response to that.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@lizardillo another amazing submission! Love how colorful and cute and mischievous he is.

[Janette]

@Melissa-Bailey-0 LOL I literally just said that line yesterday!

[Gaelle Grizzly]

At the last minute! I wanted to test my future picture book character. What do you think of him?

[charlottesart]

@Melissa-Bailey-0 welcome

[Katie Carling]

Meet Albert the little Beaver who is so kind and tries his best but just can't help chewing on things here and there.

[BNyhof]

Albert the Ermine

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Janette great minds, and all that!

[Isabel Reyes Feeney]

Wiping my brow right now !

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Isabel-Reyes-Feeney love your Albert! Great expressions. Seems we had the same idea ... an Albert who's not a fan of human clothes.

[Janette]

@Isabel-Reyes-Feeney love his teeth!

@Gaelle-Grizzly He is absolutely precious So smart to use his tail as a border. And the cape!!!!

[JasperS]

Such a fun challenge to complete! Albert is a kind, clumsy, and recently-revived Woolly Mammoth with a lot to learn. Luckily for him, the local Kindergarten accepts all kids, even furry ones.

Albert the Bat - Just barely finished in time!

[JasperS]

@RHirsch Hey! I hope I can help, since I struggled to figure this out for weeks.

I'm using mobile, in this example. In the reply feature, you'll see the options for Bold and Italic, that's the bar we want, but we want the paper icon with an upward arrow, so you need to scroll or drag this icon bar to the left, all the way to the end, and click the folded-corner-page-with-arrow icon. This should get you to the upload image feature.

okay Peeps, I made an entry using traditional mediums and then finished it in photoshop instead of my usual starting digital in procreate. I also tried to keep desaturated in color (which is really hard for me). What do you think?

Love it! Great overall choice And you were able to get great detail with the watercolor, the close-up is awesome.
