      I missed the previous competition so I guess I need to create an Albert first - like, it needs to be tailored to a specific character, I can't just draw a cool/cute house?

          So is it supposed to be the home he lives in within the family home or the families home?

            @neschof @burvantill The mods usually say you don’t have to stick to the character that you created for the month before – so it’s okay if you don’t have an Albert from June.

            We probably just need to get who your Albert is at heart from the picture – so, yeah, you will need to know who your Albert is still.

              @Kevin-Treaccar Exactly! There should be a hint of who/what Albert is: "details and a flair that make it the perfect abode for Albert and his family". I was wondering if Albert should appear or not in the drawing? 🤔

                @KGatto I think it should be the family home... it is understood the exterior of the house should be represented (at 3/4). If Albert should live in a smaller house inside a room of the house then that would be part an interior. If you are thinking of a little house in the larger house's yard .. I don't feel that answers the "Albert lives with a family as a family member" idea...

                  I am thinking of adding my "Albert" to the scene just so the details on the house will make more sense if the viewer knows what/who Albert is. Since I didn't do last month's character design I'm making a house for a current character of mine.

                    I read this as exterior 3/4 shot. Is that correct? Or is it just 3/4 shot and can be interior?

                      @Kevin-Treaccar I think the whole presentation reads "exterior"... It mentions "a building", it should look "suburban".. maybe an interior could be suggestive too but I think it would be more difficult, no? I also looked at the previous challenge "a house for a Yeti" and those were all exterior representations.

                        I almost always include linework in my work, so I'm trying something a little different on this one.albertS HOUSE.jpg

                              Albert arrives at his new home in England. I hope the colours are ok, I did the value / tone thing first so fingers crossed it has worked. Little Albert bear should be the focal point.

                              I’m much more comfortable with coloured pencil techniques for colouring in.
