@xin-li THANKYOU !

@burvantill oh, I like this so much! Wonderful posture and expression of the bear and a really lovely quality to the line / colour / texture. I'm guessing watercolour? What did you use for the linework - I can't tell if pencil or pen?

[burvantill]

@neschof I inked the line work separately and merged it with the watercolor in Photoshop. The line is different colors because I used photoshop voodoo to manipulate them. Some day this year I will make a YouTube tutorial on how I do that.

This one made me laugh. Will Terry has inspired my character in this illustration for sure!

for some reason I thought about train tracks not animal tracks.It is my first time submitting my work anywhere and I hope it is a right place!

[Kali]

I think a few others and I had similar ideas I love seeing everyone's submissions, there are so many creative ideas!

It took me forever to finally compose an image i was somewhat happy with for this month! Phew! But it's done and I'm happy I could hand in something.
