    I can't even draw a stick figure, let alone Kylie Jenner.

    The 2021 World Illustration Championships took place last month, where artists from all over the world came to compete head to head, using BuzzFeed articles as their design briefs. At the end of the 3 days, we had our winners: Hatch in the classic tournament, and 2020 reigning Champ, Alex Solis, in digital.

    Each illustration was SO impressive, and seeing BuzzFeed headlines come to life in front of my eyes was just insane! Here are just a few of my favourite interpretations from the competition:

    1. This Is What Happened When A Brit And An Aussie Compared Cultures

    2. Flight Attendants Tell Us The Wildest Things They’ve Had To Deal With

    Special shout out to both of these artists on this one – my love for Britney knows no bounds and therefore I cannot choose between these two!

    Every artist that competed is insanely talented and I can't wait to see where they go from here! Be sure to check out the Illustrated World Series website for more information on future events.
