Hi 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!

@jenithornhill these are brilliant! Each detail is more charming than the last.

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!

[Lisa Clark]

@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!

I’ve been thinking of doing the prompts even though I’m not currently subscribed.

It's always fun and good practice, right?
