Wow! You guys really pulled off the August art contest with flying colors!
The prompt for August was DRAGONFLY. This one came to us from Lee White. He decided to do an easy one after all the hard balls we’ve been throwing your way!
We got 110 entries this time, a big thank you to all who submitted! We also saw some new names in the arena this time, welcome aboard! So glad you are here ✨
The winners were picked during Critique Arena, our monthly live event for members. Our judges seeded the top 16 against each other, and the audience voted for their faves. Sixteen battled it out in the arena, but only 2 made the final cut!
You can experience all the drama in the recording of the event, which will be released soon. But in the meantime here are the two winning entries:
Winner! Art by Taylor Ackerman.
Winner! Art by Miranda Hoover.
And here are the rest of the entries that made the top 16 (it’s so hard to just pick 16!!😅):
Thanks again to everyone who entered the contest! You have learned well, young grasshoppers 🦗
Be sure to enter our September art contest for a chance to win a live art critique ✨
Since we are getting ready for Inktober, the prompt is: Today was the day, she just KNEW it. Today, Ellie would finally snap a photo of an ink fairy 📸
See you next time in the arena…the Critique Arena!
