        @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.

              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.

                          This treehouse is for people like me, who love to be inside when it's snowy outside. Screen Shot 2022-04-30 at 9.09.38 PM.png

                              And this one isn't so much a tree 'house' as it is a really active windy tree to play in! Screen Shot 2022-04-30 at 9.12.11 PM.png

                                      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.

                                        @Johanna-Kim thank you! It was really hard to think up a "cool" treehouse. I am SO not a cool person!

                                          Environmental design is hard for me, I’m glad this month forced me into something different. Good work everyone!
