Spring has brought with it a burst of creativity, and our Spring Draw This In Your Style (DTIYS) Challenge has come to a close. With an invitation opened to digital artists from all over the world, we received more than 240 reimaginations of spring-themed prompts. Artists showed their unique styles, and the response was nothing short of spectacular. After much deliberation, we are thrilled to announce the winners who have truly captured the essence of spring in their remarkable artworks. Join us as we celebrate these outstanding artists and their enchanting creations.
The Grand Prize Winner
Escape Motions is thrilled to select the Grand Prize Winner of the Spring DTIYS Challenge. The Spring Princess by Angela Tribbeck deserved our special recognition. Congratulations, Angela, we hope you will enjoy working with Wacom One 13 in combination with Rebelle 7 Pro. We thank Wacom for their support of this challenge.

White Tiger by Arya
The majestic white tiger from Craig Werkheiser caught the interest of many. Among all interpretations of this prompt, the tiger from Aryasilvart stood out the most. Congratulations, Arya, both the tiger and the background fauna are beautiful!

Pause in the Nature by Monokromisa
Who does not like a pause in nature? The prompt from Rebelle Featured Artist Dame Deviant gave us a perfect chance to imagine ourselves in that meadow with flowers. The winning artist, Monokromisa, took it a step further, capturing the pause during the golden hour. What a great idea!

Fantasy Landscape by Tooni
If you read our recent interview with Douglas Murakami, surely you were astouned by his beautiful landscapes and concept art. He put a bit of fantasy and vibrant colors into this prompt. The entry that caught his eye the most is from Tooni, who described it as mixing in all his art styles. Well done!

Spring Princess by Emylaneart
Lady Moira surely had the most difficult time deciding on the winner as 86 artists decided to follow her prompt. Out of many extraordinary artworks, the one from Emylaneart stood out. In this case, as little as the tone of leaves made the difference. Congrats, Em!

Soft and Fluffy by Edoardo Ortenzi
Soft mimosa flowers and a white fluffy cat by Lorenza Pigliamosche inspired quite a few artists to reproduce this artwork. The style of Edoardo Ortenzi grabbed Lorenza’s full attention and therefore, his artwork will receive the prize. Great work, Edoardo!

Persephone by João Oliveira
We received various interpretations of another prompt inspired by Greek mythology, the goddess of vegetation, Persephone. The winner chosen by Señora Garabato is João Oliveira, whose artwork was different. As he describes it in the Instagram post, the Persephone would slowly bring Spring at dawn, surrounded by wild narcissus flowers. João, this artwork is a great example of how perseverance pays off, even when it is sometimes accompanied by frustration from the creative process. Well done!

“Hello Again” by Gloria Vanessa Nicoli
It was exciting to watch how Siplick’s playful meeting between lynx and butterfly will play out in different styles. We received many unique and fun entries, however, the one from Gloria Vanessa Nicoli stood out. Congratulations, Gloria! Visit her profile to see all her entries, which are equally beautiful.
