Welcome to… NO.1 FOR DIGITAL ARTIST IMAGINE FX

There are many wonderful art challenges doing the rounds on social media, but one that I always keep an eye on is #drawthisinyourstyle. If you’ve not seen it, it’s where one person posts their own drawing or painting, then invites fellow artists to recreate it – but in their own style. It’s a fantastic prompt for artists. This issue’s cover is a brilliant example of that challenge. It was painted by Dave Greco after seeing the original image by @cathpun. Take a look at page 62 for the story of its creation. If you’re inspired by this, perhaps you can try drawing a recent Imaginefx cover in your style? If you do, please tag us (#imaginefx) or email it in to the address below.

Another challenge I love is our Fxposé gallery section. We get so many submissions, it’s difficult to whittle it down to our faves of the month. It’s even harder now there’s a major prize for the winner! If you’ve always wanted to submit your work, now’s the time to do it! Turn to page 10 for all the details you need on how to apply and also find out how you might be crowned Artist of the Year.
