We were blown away by the excel­lent entries for our lat­est competition.

To cel­e­brate the release of Felix van Groeningen’s Beau­ti­ful Boy, we asked you to cre­ate an illus­trat­ed por­trait of the film’s stars, Tim­o­th­ée Cha­la­met or Steve Carell.

Beau­ti­ful Boy, which is released in UK cin­e­mas on Fri­day 18 Jan­u­ary, is based on the remark­able true sto­ry of Nic Sheff, a teenage drug addict, who faces up to his addic­tion with the help of his father David.
