          My submission is of Oscar the orangutang.
          He is confident, joyful and just happy to be alive.
          His dad sells bannanas as a banana vendor at the local stadium and Oscar loves banana splits!!!!jonathansolomon-september2021.jpg

              Well, I ended up doing this in a real hurry this evening and it is waaaaaaay past my bedtime but after spending time early on in the month doing the close up of the face I really wanted to β€œship” it even if I would have liked to spend more time on it!

                      Hi πŸ™‚ Its my first time working on a monthly contest/prompt; and I left it until the last minute as I've had a busy month moving house, but wanted to enter anyway to make myself cross the finish line. I've not had to use layers and editing files digitally before - I'd never heard of a psd file let along used it. I just draw doodles with pens and pencils, so by doing the challenge I have at least learnt how to do some basic file editing stuff. I didn't have time to properly finalise the drawing or text.
                      I also wanted to give myself the challenge of drawing a character without traditional character features (ie eyes, mouth) - loosely inspired by the way Pixar turn inanimate objects into characters, so went with a jellyfish with just imaginary eyebrows.
                      I struggled with arranging the images in the square as I'd drawn them separately, and they don't fit together very well - definitely something to think about next time!

                            Hi all, here is my submission for the Critique Arena contest. I'm somewhat new to drawing characters like this, so it's a learning curve. Amazed by all the awesome submissions. Good luck to everyone!

                              @ellenseal14 I love her! She has amazing details. I hope you do inktober on Instagram with her too! The whole witch thing really felt like something I would be happy drawing for a month so it just worked for me too. Great job!

                                            Here is my entry. I cut it really close this time for submission. I am impressed with the illustrations everyone has done! It is fun to see what characters people have come with. I love the variety!
