@ellenseal_art I think it looks super cute. I love the brightness and softness of the colors and shapes. In order for the concept/story to work, you needed the trees to be a certain size for the animals to reach high enough. So between that and the type of grass that makes up most of the background, could be why it feels more like a forest than a rainforest. But I wouldn't go super realistic with the background because it would take away from the art style of the characters.

I definitely want to focus on more environment artwork sometime. I have a whole pintrest board of references to practice Now I need to add jungle photos because drawing a jungle sounds really fun.

@niels I have so many things I want to improve on and learn and practice and project ideas to create. School and family stuff pulled me away from a lot of that. I think I'm pressuring myself to make up for lost time, now that my artblock/burnout is finally over and I have given myself time to do it this year.

@mag how’s anybody supposed to win around here when you’re doing stuff like this?! UGH! ITS BEAUTIFUL! ( that was me being super jelly of your amazing talent) I LOVE your work.

[andreazupcsan]

This month is looking super fun! Can’t wait to see the top 16. Great work everyone!

Here’s mine, I’m calling it “King of the Jungle”. Any excuse to draw some grumpy animals makes my day.

@niels This one made me laugh.

[DoodleMick]

@andreazupcsan Very Nice Detail I think

[andreazupcsan]

@doodlemick thank you! I was hoping I wasn’t being too subtle lol

[Julia Hegetusch]

@maryannlucas thanks

[Ghostshipmatt]

I hadn't realized I needed to be a member of SVS in order to potentially be accepted into the top 16 for Critique Arena, until I read the T&C again the other day. Looks like I won't be entering, but thought I'd share the little spot illo I did based on the prompt. Good luck to everyone who's submitted work!

@maryannlucas Thanks very much! Really appreciate it

This was a tough prompt for me but I went with an illustration to accompany a hypothetical article about embracing your “Tiger stripes” aka stretch marks

[Angela Sagues]
