ITCH and Inspired Comics were once again in charge of the drawing competition for the MCM Midlands Expo in Telford. With much deliberation, we picked a winner in each category, and two entries we thought deserved special mention. The categories were “Premade” for pictures brought in from home and “Artist Alley” for pictures drawn on the day, with a split between under and over sixteen.
Only the winners will get a prize: some goodies from our sponsor, Letraset.
Over 16 – Artists Alley
Winner: Bethany Carless-Turland. The judges were impressed by the way the characters and the tricky angle hold up, and we liked the words on the furniture. Well done!
Commended – Olwen Hills and Donna Evans (below).
Over 16 – Premade
Winner – Sharice Atkinson. After much debate, the judges worked out that this depicts a fox dressed up as a rabbit, cuddling a carrot plushie. We all thought that was very odd, but we didn’t want to be prejudices against foxes, and the colour work swayed the vote.
Commended – Louise Eckeroall and Lyndon White.
Under 16 – Artists Alley
Winner – Adele Cockerill. Very cute, and even if the colouring is a bit streaky, the judges loved the movement in this image.
Commended – Hannah Stanway and Clara Toellner (below).
Under 16 – Pre-made
Winner – Beatrice Robbins. Lovely soft colours in this image. We’re sure Beatrice will put her prize to good use.
Commended – Hannah Nutting and Liz Crompton. Good job including a background, guys! 
Special Mention
Awesome mention – Alissa Barnley. We loved the zen cat on top of the mountain, the curious cat on a flower and especially the airplane, with lots of doors and lots of windows. Good job Alissa, we think you and your sister are both promising artists!
Congratulations to all the winners, a big thank you to every one who entered, and we hope to see more excellent art next year!
