And the winner is... Sarah Ackerley!

The winner for the 1 Character, 4 Panels challenge is:

Sarah Ackerley

Sarah's hand-drawn varied poses maintained consistency in the character. And that owl was pretty funny too.

Lots of excellent entries for the 1 character, 4 panels theme. Besides Sarah's, I loved Coralie's, Lisa Griffin's, Pascal's, and Reg's. Great work, everyone!

Sorry about this delayed announcement. Monday Artday is back on the ball. :)

1 character, 4 panels

The challenge on Monday Artday this week is "1 character, 4 panels".

This challenge was posted on August 4 as a two-week challenge because the person who mantains the Monday Artday illustration blog was going on vacation. So was I.
So, I'm walking across Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, California, with Pudge's Mom and Captain Wow. We were headed to Disneyland. While walking through the tram and bus loading area, I asked them for suggestions for the challenge. Pudge's Mom says, "How about a strip of photos from a photo booth." Captain Wow, at the same time, says, "Ha! You should draw Mr. Potato Head!"
Instead of doing two drawings, I combined both ideas because I'm lazy.

1 character, 4 panels

This is taken from the current project i'm working on.

Bê-Mouton

This little lamb is the hero of my first children book : "Bê-Mouton".
It will be published in french at the end of the month and we are looking for a publisher for the english version.

Weekly Challenge - 1 Character, 4 Panels

Four panels, one character.

This is a 2 week challenge! Why? Because, one, it'll take some time to complete and two, I'm on vacation next week so I can't judge next Monday. :)

I just got back from the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Conference. One of the things editors like to see in portfolios is the ability to maintain a consistent character in a series. This is useful for any series illustrator, whether for children's books, comic books, magazines, graphic novels, etc. - so it should apply to everyone here.

Your assignment is to create a character (preferably human, animals are easier - but you can do animals if you like), and feature that character in 4 panels. Can be any style, from kids' picture books to graphic novels.

Have fun!
