Overcoming Orange

My six-year-old's favorite color was red for quite awhile, but he recently switched it to orange. I used to absolutely loathe orange but I'm starting to turn around on it. This week's design theme was to make a monochrome design, so I thought using orange would make it an interesting challenge (and also help my entry stand out, as it would likely not be used as much as other colors).  I made a bunch of doodles of some of his favorite stuff:

• Dogs
• Elephants
• Dodos
• Batteries
• Screws
• Hammers
• Tires
• Interlocking blocks - not legos of course because that would be a trademark violation! ;)
• Pizza
• Bacon
• Bananas
• Pickles
• Spaghetti and meatballs
• Stars
• Planets
• Lightning bolts
• Snowflakes
• Water droplets
• Hearts
• Music notes

It was a lot of fun to draw! My favorite was this botanical scatter design (which ended up getting second place). This was an enormous contest with over 700 entries, and I ended up just in the top half.
