Back to a traditional image after trying digital for a while. So many great images this month.

@Elena-Marengoni haha can you guess which one I am thinking about?

Here is my entry for May's contest. First time entering, good luck everyone!

Here is my submission for Isolation. It's based off of a Mongolian Shepherd.

First time entering! This is my interpretation of how I'm feeling about isolation - 'Bored to Stone'. Good luck everybody, some amazing entries

@Tom-Shannon love this. Pencil shading, colors, mood - spot on. And we can all empathize with that ghost

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forum, first contest submission and first photoshop drawing. It's so nice to see such a supporting and uplifting community. I'm taking a few classes on SVSlearn and hope to engage more with the forum soon. Congrats everyone for the amazing job, it's so inspiring to see your drawings!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks very much!

There are many things good and bad about isolation, some important and some trivial.

Ok, enough tinkering with it. I think I'm ... done.

Can I ask how the top 16 are chosen? Are they just picked out by the judges (Will/Jake) or is it based on votes, etc?

[JennyJones]

@carrieannebrown they are picked by the judges. They choose based on how well the the piece fits the prompt, composition, rendering, and of course, what they like. The final winners are chosen by votes squared off against each other in a bracket ( like “The Sweet 16”.) That’s my understanding. I hope it helps.

[carrieannebrown]

@JennyJones yes, thank you! I was just wondering about whether upvotes made a difference or if it was solely down to the judges

Hi. A few times now, near the end of the month I’d be like: okay next prompt I will definitely participate - thinking my first entry here should be perfect, and I’d need that full month to finish. Note to self: stop whining, start shining. #finishednotperfect

Here’s my take on isolation - a blissful voluntary one.

Isolation doesn't mean you can't visit magical, fantastical places, right?

Here is my tribute to Andrew Wyeth and his love of isolation in his pictures. With a kidlit flair.

Hi Everyone! Here is my entry for isolation.

Our cat likes to meow at the wildlife he'll never be able to reach.
