  Does this pose feel any better? I’m having a hard time making the legs and arms feel right.

  @Heather-Boyd Thank you, I made the ink fairy into a mad scientist tattooist. I will look through the submission board to see if there is any mention of markers.

  Thanks, everyone! Your feedback helped me sooooo much this month! I usually use the whole month, but I’ve decided to stop and commit. Gotta force myself to limit the time I spend on each project. Hope you like it. I already submitted, but feedback’s still appreciated. It’ll never be perfect!

  Thanks to everyone for your feedback! You've given me a lot to think about @TessaW Thank you; you've made me feel better about this Drawing a menacing toad was apparently so fun, I couldn't help but make him the focal point, haha. @Coley Thank you You did a great job with yours as well! @Julia Awww, thank you! A received some great critiques that gave me the kick-in-the-butt that I need, haha. @Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you! Maybe I will go in the directions of A after all @jsnzart Thanks! The font was a pretty lucky find! @Jacy13 Thank you! You make a good point; the dragonfly does seem to stand out even less with the giant letters next to it. Thanks for the feedback!

  @TessaW cute idea. I don’t think I have time for that now but maybe I’ll try that idea when I add it to my portfolio. So I think I’ll go ahead and enter the one with text. It was my favorite too. I was imagining it in the scouting magazine or a nature book.

  This is what I have on a separate group layer to keep as a reference. Is this okay or should I mess around with it a bit more? I think maybe the foreground is a bit too dark?

  @StudioLooong Love the character, and lightling. Beautiful image. I just saw an image by Kenard Pak, and thought it might be interesting to add into the discussion here. It is mostly a monocolor image, with a touch of color for storytelling. I thought it was doen veyr effectively. Another thing I am wondering about is the compostion. Would it make more sense to move him a bit towards left, so there is more room in front of him? Right now the left side of the image felt empty - something is missing.

  The city define with shadow and with angles also heightens the tension/uncertainty the characters feel that helps tell the story.

  @Gary-Wilkinson Thank you so much for the feedback on topic and story, and the composition suggestions on #1. I really like your idea of moving the hill on the right more into the foreground. Val

  I made some changes and here is the updated version with desaturated background (and a tree removal), I made some tone adjustments and darkened the foreground. I also rendered the water and made a few changes to the dragonfly. As I was working on it, I was thinking about how it might appear in a book or magazine. With the detail on the insect, I thought that it would make a fun diagram. I wrote out the body parts in the handwriting they teach my kids at school for an authentic kid look. What do you think... with or without the text?

  @Jeremiah-Gorrell Thanks ..that's what I was feeling as well..even with playing with color the lines are bothering me, so I will eliminate them or move onto a different background. Thanks so much for the feedback.

  @Ruth-Tripp I really enjoy the "dragon and a fly" concept! It's a good play on words. My favorite sketch is the first one with the bearded dragon. I think it could make a really cool and striking image. As others have suggested; more storytelling can really bring the concept and overall drawing to life! I can't wait to see what you decide to do

  Here is an image I created for the book Sisterland Written by Salla Simukka. A shape shifter dragonfly appears in the story. Here is a possible idea for this months prompt, however I am working on another idea for the fun of it all.
