@maryannlucas Thanks! The competition is tough this month -- there are so many great pieces. I've been in SVS for more than four years and the quality of submissions just keeps getting better and better.

@aurelia Thanks! Yes, garages are not on the top of most drawing lists.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@larue Aww, thanks. Yes, the mom is feeling a bit overwhelmed

[Kim Rosenlof]

@johanna-kim Thank you! I love your illustration. The colors are nice, and the idea of the shadow of the mom was a great idea!

Wow, great job everyone! This was a tough one

Hope you can join us for Critique Arena at 2pm MST on Thu Mar 10! (Check here for other time zones). That is when we will put 'em to a vote

Good luck team!

@lisaf will the finalists go up a bit earlier than the last round for people to have a chance to really look and study and decide on their favourite pre arena? Under the new format (which is so much fun btw) , many were asking to see the images further in advance, and I do agree that more time would be helpful.

@jenithornhill Hi. I love how you sold the background, it's messy but not distracting, nice!

[Heather Boyd]

@brettb_draws I really like this style, cool!

@heather-boyd Thank you !

[jenithornhill]

@heather-boyd Thanks! It is the first time I did a background this way, and wasn’t entirely sure it was working.
