December art contest!

Art by Will Terry!

OK gang, we have a very challenging prompt for you this time! It’s sure to bring up feelings 😡😱😭

The prompt is: β€œ...as she listened closely, she overheard them talking about her...” Brought to you by Will Terry!

The idea is to challenge you to explore complex human emotion. It’s just too easy to make all your characters generically happy, especially if you are a kidlit artist!

But art directors will likely want to see a range of expressions and feelings in your portfolios, to see how you handle a story. So let’s mine those emotional depths!

  • Post your final illustration on the SVS Forum, in the competition thread titled: DECEMBER CONTEST: as she listened closely, she overheard them talking about her….
