[Sara Nilsson]

Hi here is my peace
A bit unfinished in the coloring but happy with my idea, good luck everyone

[Jeremy Ross]

“Maybe school isn’t such a good idea after all,” Thought Albert.

Wasn't sure I'd get something done this month, but here's Albert Otterman heading to school.

@LisaF I hope I’m asking this in the right place… if not, please point me in the right direction. How does it work if I wanted to sell prints of the art I create for critique arena? Or what if someone wanted to make a book of all their entries? Are those things allowed? Would we need to credit SVS learn since it’s your prompt idea? I’m new here so maybe this has already been talked about someplace?

[Frost Drive]

When is the deadline for this contest? Is it the end of August?

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @NicolaSchofield! I was going for the nervous distant shot.

[Jeremy Ross]

@keithryanstudio yup, @Jeremy-Ross is right! You created the art, you own it, it's yours to do with as you please If you wanted to make a book of your art, have at it! Sure we'd love credit, but it's totally up to you Welcome!

I've run out of time to work on this prompt and won't be submitting to the Arena, but I wanted to share as far as I got. Next weekend, I hope to finish the monsters (the grey silhouettes) and play around with the layers. But for now, here is "The First Day of Monster School."

[Janette]

OK! I learned my lesson last month to put this out there rather than leave things till the last minute and not have anyone see it! lol. Comments welcome!

It's not quite finished yet, and I've done it as a spread.

[Cole Rts]

These are all so great!

[keithryanstudio]

Okay, here is mine

[Frogpunzel]

@Janette I really love your Albert character!

[KathrynAdebayo]

@KathrynAdebayo Haha, whoops guys. I just realized that penguins don't live in the arctic. They're only in the southern hemisphere. A good lesson on researching thoroughly before submitting something!
