3rd place
The unbridled sense of fun that spread through the room comes through loud and clear. This illustration is positively bursting with cuteness and reminds us of our own childhoods.
4th place
The line between the hand drawing the illustration and the woman in the illustration is blurry in an intriguingly good way. It’s also just such a cool-looking illustration!
5th place
That girl playing to an audience of pigeons is really impressive. When she grows up, we wonder if she’ll perform on the big stage to thousands of spectators? We can see her shine with potential in this piece!
6th~10th place
- Cash Prize: US$100
- Clip Studio Paint PRO Activation Code (Dual-device plan, 1 year) or 3,000 GOLD
6th place
Her expression fits the theme perfectly! Moments like this, when you enjoy doing what you love are definitely your moments to shine, and this piece captured that feeling so well. Just looking at it lifts your spirits!
7th place
This scene is so heartwarming, but what adds to the charm are the little touches and use of colors in the piece. The light coming from behind also ties in well with the “My Time to Shine!” theme!
8th place
What a fun and funny scene! You can imagine the hijinks these two animals get into just with this one illustration. The powerful composition is also really effective.
9th place
The design sense on this one is amazing, with the cute animals and colors integrated so beautifully into the piece. We feel like we could lose track of time and get lost in the cuteness!
10th place
The motifs the artist chose and how they were scattered throughout the piece make it even more engrossing. The fun of drawing and that feeling that you’re actually shining when you’re doing it are really well expressed in this piece. The colors go so well together too!
