True to tradition, 
The winners
🥇 1st place:
This watercolor painting captures a serene and whimsical forest scene with a lovely sense of depth and color harmony. The use of a vibrant yellow and light green gradient in the background effectively creates a "glowing" effect, making the central white rabbit stand out as a clear focal point. The contrast between the dark, silhouetted trees and the bright, flower-speckled meadow adds a nice layer of visual interest, while the attention to detail on the log—specifically the addition of moss and textured bark—shows a thoughtful approach to layering. Overall, it is a charming piece that demonstrates a great eye for composition and a successful use of color blending to evoke a peaceful atmosphere.
🥈 2nd place:
This dynamic ink sketch masterfully conveys a sense of raw power and triumphant resilience through its bold linework and dramatic composition. The artist utilizes strong hatching and cross-hatching techniques to define the warrior's musculature and the metallic sheen of her shield, giving the figure a tangible, heroic presence amidst the chaos. By positioning the protagonist centrally as she strides past her defeated foes, the drawing creates a compelling narrative of victory, while the expressive, flickering lines of the surrounding flames add a visceral energy to the scene. It is a striking piece of imaginative art that successfully captures a moment of fearless determination, making the character’s strength feel both physical and symbolic.
🥉 3rd place:
This pencil sketch is an impressive exercise in caricature and character design, utilizing exaggerated features to project a gritty, weathered personality. The artist’s use of sharp, angular lines and deep tonal shading effectively emphasizes the "carved by time" aesthetic, particularly in the heavy sunken eyes and the pronounced wrinkles around the mouth. The elongated neck and oversized ears add a stylized, almost graphic-novel quality to the piece, while the loose placement of the cigarette serves as a perfect narrative detail that grounds the character's weary expression. Overall, it is a technically skilled portrait that manages to convey a heavy sense of history and silent stoicism through bold, confident pencil work.
