What is Mental Canvas? According to their website Mental Canvas software “has reimagined drawing for the digital age by enabling creations that can be experienced outside the confines of a page or a single moment in time. With Mental Canvas all this power is placed intuitively and naturally in the artist’s hand.” And now Mental Canvas has launched a global $100K Challenge for the best scenes using their software.
Artist Veronica Lawlor worked with Mental Canvas to create these beautifully rendered scenes of a crowded Brooklyn Bridge for an installation at the Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone and is encouraging other illustrators to enter the competition. Categories in which to submit include architecture & places, education, comics, storytelling, and what they’re calling the napkin sketch. They’re running a series of one-week mini challenges as well. Check it out both for what it can offer you as an artists and for the potential of a big win!
