Here's my entry. Good luck everyone!

I had the idea to illustrate some Aesop’s fables, but with a modern twist, so I started with the Tortoise and the Hare.

Here's my submission. Lots of great entries this month!

Thanks everyone who voted for my yeti. I swear he's only trying to add some cinnamon to the kids' coacoa, and not preparing to eat them as many of you sickos think. I just rewatched the livestream today, because the first time I had a screaming toddler in the room with me and i missed most of it. It was awesome that i made Will and Lee laugh out loud and that I got some feedback from them. I really didn't think I would make the top 16 because there were so many quality pieces and this was my first time entering, so it was a nice suprise to be one of the winners, and let's hope those kids make it out alive!

Doing pet portraits, with real physical paint! It's been so long since I touched a real brush, and it feels mighty good. I also went into a real life art supply store

Nice to meet you. Trying not to quit my dream as life unravels all around.

It's stuff like this:

@ContinuousLines This is a fine illustration of some nature. I take a lot of pictures of my kids and my favorite pictures are the ones where I stick the camera in their faces.

Congratulations! That is some serious growth. Have you gotten any illustration work from Instagram?

@Laurasketches I think the distance is effectively conveyed just by size relationships and overlap. You could put something else small near the mouse, like a ladybug or something to reinforce the scale.

@Frost-Drive yeah, I was originally thinking that they were a couple of doofuses, but decided the image needed more cuteness to appeal to kids.

@keithryanstudio Looks like exclamation boy is punching Richard Pryor in the jaw. He didn’t even see it coming.

I made some updates: added some more elements and worked on the expression. Thanks for the insight everyone!

@xin-li do you recommend trying to find an agent if you haven't done any books yet? I'm reading Will Terry's book and he says most agents won't want to represent you if you're just starting out. Also, what kind of things would they ask you to draw that you didn't want to?

@carlianne thanks, I might try to tweak the eyes. @Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson I think you're right, it needs more storytelling elements.

@Jeremy-Ross I appreciate it! I never considered that chronoligical detail. For the third pig, I was going for a slight look of disdain, as he sees the other two pigs as being irresponsible and lazy.

Option 2 , really impressive to see your work grouped into books.
