March 2022
Spring is just around the corner, and to brighten up our monthly challenge we thought the prompt “Lucky” would only be appropriate.
As luck would have it, there are many directions you can go with this prompt: good luck, bad luck, beginner’s luck, Lady Luck, luck of the draw! Just try not to rely on dumb luck for this challenge! Best of luck everyone!
Prompt Requirements
For this prompt, focus on crafting a creative and high-quality concept with a clear story. Need a little inspiration or some great strategies for doing this? Check out Will Terry’s new course Developing Great Visual Stories. Your illustration can be any format (e.g. spot illustration, full-page illustration, etc.).
Special Critique Session
We’re going to be doing something a little different with Critique Arena this month!
Instead of voting for the Top 16, we decided to do a special critique session to focus on strategies for developing strong concepts. While we all love a good competition, we feel like this is a great opportunity to take a deep dive into one of the most important aspects of illustration. So, rather than narrowing it down to the Top 16, we’ll be opening up the playing field and picking 16 lucky contenders (maybe more!) from the entire pool of 80+ entries. It could be you! As professional illustrators we’ve all been there. Sometimes it’s just really tough to nail a concept, but that’s what your agents, publishers and clients want. Your ability to translate prompts to successful illustrations in real life is key to your success.
We’re sure this is a Critique Arena you won’t want to miss!
