Loving the different interpretations so far! I can tell this will be a good month.
Here's my submission for "Isolation". I wanted to take a stab at a more light-hearted approach. From @Lee-White 's note expanding the idea of isolation, I wanted to show the social distancing side of isolation in a fun way that could help explain the situation to kids. So, everyone gets their own spot on the ice! Natural limits explain the isolation (hopefully 
)
Something might be wrong with me, because I laughed out loud when I read the last line. I imagined all the animals of the jungle waiting to play "Bongo's game" on his return journey. It didn't hurt that there's already some awesome versions on the other key points, so I'm just gonna slide over here at the end :D.
Going for a retro newsprint style testing out different textures.
Wasn't sure I'd make it this month!
First time posting, hope this is the right spot... (hi everyone!)
Love all the different takes on the prompt! Here's my take on Nightfall
Happy March! My entry sees some familiar faces from January (The tracks in the snow..) in a slightly new style. Nobody could believe Will's incredible story!
Testing out some faux watercolor in Procreate
Lisa's BrunchBot has gone rogue! Mmmm.. brunch....
This is a little different, as it's not an illustration, but I figured the group here would appreciate this.
A little back story- I have a book coming out September 1 (less than two months!) that I co-wrote and illustrated with my wife called Pearl and Squirrel Give Thanks. I was curious to see if I could make the main characters into a 3D print. If they came out alright, I was going to send them to some friends and family and to our partners at the publisher. Well, then the quarantine happened, and working on these little guys became my main art project outside of my job. I made five to start but ended up with something like 35 of these painted up... I'm not really a crafty person, so this was a lot of trial and error, but I'm excited about how they came out.
Some more info:
I have a background in games/modeling so I was able to model these in 3D myself but there are online resources where you could potentially hire someone to do the asset creation.
I used a 3D printing service called Shapeways that is pretty reasonable. They print in all kinds of materials- I even got a teeny tiny metal one made so I might use that next time I play monopoly.
The paint was acrylic. I used a brush at first, then used an airbrush on later figures to try to get it smooth as possible. These are tiny, so pictures tend to make them look worse (imperfections are magnified).
I've seen other illustrators have figures or plushes made and that was a big inspiration. Hopefully, this gives others ideas to bring their creations into the real world in new ways. 
You can see more Pearl and Squirrel art on my website in the signature, not sure if links are allowed, but here's a link to the book https://www.amazon.com/Pearl-Squirrel-Thanks-Cassie-Ehrenberg/dp/1338592092
I'm new to SVS, but am enjoying all the resources and community here!
My first book was self-published with my wife through Kickstarter in 2017, called Boys Don't Fly.

We also will be releasing a new book called Pearl and Squirrel Give Thanks on Sept. 1, 2020 with Orchard Books.

I agree that I miss the draw-overs from earlier contests. I wasn't a member, but watching those critiques were more useful and they become a more helpful curriculum to future students. Maybe the judges pick 2 top pieces each month to go deeper. Then pick 2 pieces from folks much earlier on the journey (a ways away from professional work) with a lot more that could be improved. Even if they critique someone with a disimilar skill set, you learn a lot that way.
@Marta-Kitka Awesome work. Can picture this on the shelves!
@Lucky-Platt he was tough to get right, but I'm happy how he came out
Wasn't sure I'd make it this month!
@Nyrryl-Cadiz thanks! Glad they are out in the world

@Neha-Rawat love the hat Great expressions!
Agree with @NessIllustration. You'll get to your 10,000 hours, but making it a grind might grind you out of the profession. Find an amount that keeps you motivated and hungry to keep going. It's a marathon. Another key thing is that while drawing is very important, that old "creative bank account" can be sparked in lots of ways. People watching, walking to clear your head, etc can boost your idea machine and motivate you to create.
