The 3rd category is Sketch (Not Digital). I thought there'd be many submission for this category, since a sketch is something an artist can do very quickly. But no, there are just 6 entries. :)

I hope no one will feel let down or disappointed for these results. You all do know this contest is just a way to share around your artworks and to let artists on Steemit know each other. 

Steemit is a great community for artists. We knew it. So I would invite the partecipants to share the contest in their web contacts and social media, so to attract more artists here.

Ok, get ready for the next ArtTrail Contest (next week, I think)
