            @mag Wait, does our Albert die if doesn't win? PBS must be way different than when I was a kid...

                    @Kevin-Treaccar As I understand it, Albert goes to live upstate on a farm. πŸ˜‰

                        @Melissa-Bailey-0 this is one of my favorite character designs I've ever seen on the forums, if it were in a store I'd buy the book! Nice work!

                          Great critique! So much good stuff and I learned a lot from it. Now I want to go back and make my Albert a little fuzzier/more mischievous/more fully rendered. Congrats to the winners!

                            I want to thank those who've voted for my piece on Critique Arena. With all the great designs entered I was surprised to have been selected for one of this month's Top 16. I also want to congratulate @baileyvidler for advancing into the Top 8. Her piece made for a tough competition.

                              @Amanda-Bancroft aww, thanks so much! Yes, this prompt is right up my alley β€” animals are one of my favorite things to illustrate, especially cute & furry ones (of course).

                              (And this character has inspired me β€” he needs his own story!)

                                  @Irina-Demirci-Pak Ooo I love this!!! And Albert the Muskrat wants to join your Albert πŸ˜… 🀭 But it was a very good learning experience and I feel I have made some progress. Now I am working on character sheets for ather two characters I draw, I feel it will help greatly with consistency and posing! I hope to get in the 16 though, at some point, for the awsome critique....

                                      Sadly, I couldn't attend the critique arena live, as it was around 2 am my time. I was wondering if there is any way I could see the votes? Thanks!
