As always everyone has done a great job on these. Iain you’ve got a good story in your picture and beautifully drawn and coloured - I can’t see that getting beaten.

This is my attempt. I ignored all the rules about drawing and just had fun with it. It’s a bit raw.

I like seeing everyone's take on Albert's first day!

Annaaronson · 31 Aug 2021, 19:45

@Janette Thank you!! The "No" is so obvious and I totally didn't mean to do that, or notice it! lol! I am so glad you pointed it out though!

Janette · 31 Aug 2021, 20:03

@Annaaronson Oh lol! I thought it was like 'No! We do not eat the paper towels!'

My Albert loves being the centre of attention, he's wasted no time in making sure everyone knows all about him

Corrected my scientific mistake.

Uh oh! It's crunch time!

Jeremy Ross · 1 Sept 2021, 00:48

Completely agree @Frogpunzel! Also adds to feeling of nervousness, I think…

@LisaF Is that your Albert?!? I DIDN’T KNOW WE COULD SUBMIT ANIMATED GIFS!!!

rmwonders · 1 Sept 2021, 01:29

@Kim-Rosenlof Yay Kim! it looks so good!

rmwonders · 1 Sept 2021, 01:31

Here is my entry!

Katie Carling · 1 Sept 2021, 01:59

All of your submissions are so great! Here's mine. I'm just so happy that I'm keeping my promise to do this each month.

Hi, here is my little submission...

p.s. edited with picture from the critique arena template

DaveLeekArt · 1 Sept 2021, 02:48

My little guy is going to be experiencing his first day of school in just about a week so this challenge was extra fun for me, thinking about all of the new experiences my son's going to gain. Hopefully he doesn't get picked to stand up and talk to the class about his favourite food like poor Albert here.. sheesh!

I'm not sure if my entry made it through to the critique arena site since I wasn't able to see any submission confirmation when I tried a couple times tonight. Wish me luck! I want to come and play with you guys again this month:)

Good luck all

@marek-halko this is fantastic! I love the feel.

Kim Rosenlof · 1 Sept 2021, 03:23

@rmwonders Thanks! I am already seeing things I want to change .
I like your illustration. The colors are really nice. I think that monster backpack is funny and love the big blue gorilla..

Thank you @megan-van-der-berg @janette @geekinm

@LisaF Okay, I have to admit I was emotionally drained this month, not one but two kids off to college leaving us as empty nesters.:( Very little time to put too much thought or time into this but I did give it 3 straight days. Enjoyed painting once I got in the "zone"
