GOOD LUCK!

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I am going to have to think really really hard on the styles I want to do.

Super Hyped for this! thinking that im going to do something with Steven Universe for sure, but what style, IDK

If I want to draw a cartoon with say the Van Gogh style, do I need to use a scene from the actual show or can I just draw the characters doing something just in the style? (Sorry, if you don't really understand what I mean here, I'm not very good at explaining it :P)

Hi people! gonna update my piece on this quite frequently like i did on the last cotm. Good luck to everyone

This is how I understood it: Take a Distinct style from a famous painting, animation, game, ect. and apply it to a widely recognizable scene from another scene, area, animation, painting ect.

I think a good example is this. I am sorry if anyone does this.

I am not the definitive answer on this but just my interpretation of what Jazza said. Please PLEASE do not use this as a focus point. Just use it as a lose guide.

Simpsons in Nighthawks painting.

this is my work in progress piece, if i have put it in the wrong place i would very much appreciate if someone tells me
thanks, Annabelle

I've got some ideas, I just hope they work.
And I wish I could enter the top category to win that tablet and the brushes but I don't have PhotoShop, nor am I very skilled at art, But maybe I will

So sadly I wasn't able to finish my entry for last month so I am gonna try even harder this time!
For the artwork I wanted a Dutch painter or painting cause I am from Holland X3 as for the swapped style... well I might have been watching corpse bride just before Jazza's announcement. Here is what I have so far what do you guys think?

I was thinking of doing the Mona Lisa in LavenderTowne's style.. is she popular enough to count? I hope so because I'm really hyped to do this one.

Love this. Had to get started right away!

Ok i have a couple of ideas for scenes i want to draw but i'm kind of stuck on which i should choose...
here are my options:

- ace's sacrifice to save luffy (one piece)
- uncle iroh's 'leaves from the vine' scene with the view over ba sing sei (the last airbender)
- the scene where ash and his pokemon all cuddle to keep warm in an ice cave (remember that one?)
- naruto and sasuke clash
- naruto ninetails cloak
- tarzan sliding on the branches
- the lion king: simba, timon and pumba in the jungle

Any suggestion on what could work?

So this is what I've been thinking

This is a good one.

I'm really excited! Can't wait to start! But first I need to find some styles to swap...

OK, so I'm gonna upload my WIP's in chunks as I draw each character. The scene I am doing is from The Lion King when Timon, Pumbaa and Simba cross the bridge and I am doing it in the Francoise Nielly style, hope you like it :D

Heres my WIP For this month, feturing JaidenAnimations And TheOdd1sOut In the Scene of Hear comes a Thought From Steven Universe!

well i think it might just be to close to the original scene, i do'nt know what your plan is for the rest of the dawing but i would try to be a little bit more daring with poses, envirement, character design, etc.

this is a very recognisable scene so i think you can alter it a lot without it looking to different if that makes sence?

Looks great!

Hey, this is looking really neat so far. I'd advice you to observe the style of the artist you chose better, tho. I didn't know the person, so I went and googled them. They are working traditional and uses very strong colors with visible brushstrokes. Comparing it with your piece, you've smudged the colors together a lot which makes them dull and look dirty. Try to use your digital brush as you would if you had a big canvas and a traditional brush like your artist does. Maybe try to customize yourself a brush that can mimic the traditional look better.
Also observe how they use the color, which they choose and how they make shadow and such visible through them.
Keep it up!

Decided to do a scene from gravity falls in tim burton's style. Im not very good at replicating people's styles but i thought id give it a shot.

this is my so far. i know these characters are common but you know...i like them.
tell me what you think.
ps: i have spent way to long learning the chibi style,

Forgot to put in the image...

Sketch of Mona Lisa in LavenderTowne's art style (search for her on YouTube).

i like the colors but did you take the base picture directly from the movie ? cuz i dont want to break it to you but im not sure if that allowed

i was wondering if the art style included the sading and stuff or just the propotions lines and such so could go wild with light and shading ?

Still rough but having fun.
