Winner of the June Gouache for Illustrators Workshop

June 28, 2016 Romica Spiegl
Sloth ... by Michelle T.

Sloth ... by Michelle T.

Hi, there

I'm really happy to announce the winner of my 2 week workshop "Gouache for Illustrators" over at Skillshare. We had many wonderful people participating in this workshop, over 50 have signed up and we had more than 10 projects created.

Over 50 participants

Over 10 projects

1 winner

Michelle T. created a cute sloth inspired by the movie "Zootopia". Although she was chosen at random out of the final projects, I do think that Michelle created a prize worthy illustration. Her use of colours and highlights make this sloth really come to life and I wouldn't mind meeting this cute fella. She created a lot of depth in the eyes which really make them the centre of attention. Even though I did not cover composition in the class, Michelle created a very nice composition in her painting with the little sloth peeking out from the right corner, while leaving enough white space for the painting to "breath".

If you like to see the process, please have a look at Michelle's Project over at Skillshare.

The Prize

Michelle won 3 of my limited edition greeting cards which are prints of my Gouache illustrations. Every card comes with a nice brown Kraft envelope. In the class I'm teaching, I show you how I paint the cute hedgehog and how to confidently create your own gouache illustrations.

Want to create cute illustrations yourself?
