APRIL CONTEST: Design the Coolest Treehouse in the World!
-
Here is my treehouse, it's only really a cool treehouse if you are a panda. They like sleeping and eating bamboo. It's quite difficult if your favourite food is bamboo and you live in bamboo (they just can't help having a nibble!
)
I had resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't have time this month but I've had a go. It's not really finished properly
. I I wasn't sure if we were allowed to add characters so there's no pandas snoozing in the snoozing spots 
Lets hope no-one notices that bamboo is a grass and not a tree!

@lizardillo so cute, Liz! It looks finished to me -- you're probably the only one who notices the areas where you wanted to do more and ran out of time.

@Melissa_Bailey thanks Melissa. It was a bit on /off/on/off but then I decided to go for it! It's nearly midnight here in the UK so l’ve got this far just in time
-
@Johanna-Kim Thanks, that is high praise, much appreciated.
-
@lizardillo This is fun and it is ok as bamboo grows real thick, in South America where I stayed they had two homes and a restaurant made out of bamboo pillars! It is very strong. My small drawing table is made from bamboo.
-
@Johanna-Kim Each image took at least 10 hours not including the drawing- sketch phase.
-
@lizardillo love those bites!
-
I meant for this to be more wizard-looking, but my family told me the little characters looked like gnomes. Oh well.
-
@Griffin I save mine to files, then name it. When they did the lucky critiques, I saw that my layer in the critiques was named the same way I saved it.
-
I went a little overboard on this one with all the birds and cat, so it is not as much of an environment piece as a story, but I thought I would put here anyway.
There are a lot of really cool treehouses that everyone has submitted. Now I wish I had a tree that I could build a cool treehouse in.

@Melissa_Bailey So inventive!
-
@Kim-Rosenlof Such a creative, fun concept. Love this!
-
This treehouse is for people like me, who love to be inside when it's snowy outside.
-
@Johanna-Kim Thanks! It was fun to do.
-
And this one isn't so much a tree 'house' as it is a really active windy tree to play in!
-
@Valerie-Light beautiful!
-
@Valerie-Light Wow! This is cool and the colors are nice. I love the smore store. Yum!
-
@Valerie-Light This is lovely too. I love it. It fun to see the colors and all the fun things they are doing.

Such inspiring and creative submissions, everyone! In response to last month's crit arena, my goals were to keep the palette bright, make the characters and situation relatable, and be mindful of the clarity of the image. I also tried to minimize the environmental impact of the house on the tree, hence the tent design. It was really difficult to come up with something that didn't look like some kind of alien pod. Nothing wrong with that, but not the concept I was looking for. Next time I want to be better about posting earlier and exchanging feedback. This month was all about pushing myself to finish a drawing.
