Hi everyone!

The prompt for May is STORM! ⚡

What kind of storm is brewing in your imagination? Is your character anticipating a thunderstorm, caught in a sea squall, or have they just weathered a winter blizzard? How will you put your own unique twist on this prompt?

Grab your umbrella and rain boots, this is gonna be fun!

Requirements

For this type of prompt, remember that concept is king. You need to spend some time identifying a great story before you ever begin sketching. Besides a good story, your illustration also needs to include a character, some kind of environment, and a storm. The format can be a full page or spot illustration.

Not sure how to come up with a great concept? Watch last month’s Special Critique Session or take Will Terry’s Developing Great Visual Stories course.

As always, be sure to submit via the Critique Arena website. Please note that the Submit Your Art! button will now take you to your SVSLearn student account, where you will be prompted to log in and submit your image in the Critique Arena course.

We also encourage you to post your final entry right here so everyone can love on it!💕

Entries are due by May 31.

Good luck everyone!
