Hello and welcome to the already 5th iteration of the Monthly Drawing Challenge!

To reach more people with this challenge, there is a hashtag now:
#kritachallenge
(Thanks to David Revoy for the name suggestion.)
Please use it on twitter or elsewhere to spread the word about this challenge!

The challenge for June is over, the results can be found here:
viewtopic.php?f=277&t=126805

Last month's winner was Kaerhon.
The winner-selected topic for this month is:

fly

I wish you a lot of fun drawing and I'm looking forward to see yet again some wonderful artworks.

--==How the challenge works==--

The topic changes every month. Every image should be somehow related to the current topic.
It would be nice, if you could also add an explanation, how it is related to the topic, if you think that it is not clear from the image alone.

You can submit your image until the 24th of July, 12:00 UTC, by posting an image as answer in this thread.
For posting images, the same rules as in the Gallery section apply.

After that, a poll will be created and forum users can vote for the winner.
The poll will run for 7 days, the winner will be the one with the most votes until the end of the poll.

The winner will have the privilegue to choose the topic for the month August.

Title: Love at First Flight


The idea just popped into my head. The title tells the story.

I think I may have lost my way on the challenge theme as I got so caught up in trying to paint the desert light. Anyways the idea was supposed to be a an "Around the World in 80 Days" type flight across the American desert...

The drawing phase of his month's Monthly Drawing Challenge is over.
I hope, you had fun drawing.
Thanks for participating. Also thanks to everybody, who helped to promote this challenge.
The poll will be set up now and the poll will run for 7 days.

It's too late for the poll, I think! But I was asked to post this by the person who encouraged me to enter (Leinir)! Unfortunately I've been putting off posting because of my busy schedule! Either way, I might as well share it

Hey dice.
I added your picture to the poll. There was only one vote yet, so restarting the poll isn't that dramatic.
Thanks for participating.

Special thanks go to Boudewijn and Irina for advertising the challenge on twitter.
