      I decided to go with this. I really like the desert environment i wound up with. I'm going to do one more draw over before I color it. Does anyone see anything I should fix in the sketch before I do? Oh and the round faces are where kids will go, they're just place holders for now.

        @Lynn-Larson, Hey Lynn! Do you have any suggestions for this? Anything sticking out at you that I should fix?

          I love seeing the progression of your work. It looks really lively/engaging! The change of the environment is great, as is the addition of the little lizard looking over the rock ledge. Is the giraffe on a motorcycle? For me, the speed limit sign is a bit distracting, but that may be a non-issue once you go to color... currently my eye glances off in that direction - possibly due to the wording and large/knocked out copy of the #50.

            @Lisa-Middleton-Griffin Thank you! Its so helpful to have fresh eyes of another artist to help with your work. Really grateful for your comment! I was wondering about the sign. The client wants a sign or something indicating that this place is Texas. I'll move it around or get rid of it, and i'll post my updates soon!

              I love your poster. My only comment goes with Lee's original comment about leaning the cars and characters forward for the illusion of speed. Your cars look like they are leaning backward or standing still, so my impression is that it is a traffic jam not a race. I'm just a beginner, but I hope this helps.

                I agree with @B-Macia, I think the piece is great, but I would definitely lean the cars foward!

                And also, you moved your original point of view to more of a "top view". I think it can work, but I feel it might be better to lower your camera angle a bit and overlap the cars more. It would add depth to your image I think... I hope this is clear...

                Great illustration though!

                  @B-Macia @NoWayMe Thank you both! I did a messy sketch over and lost the sign. What do you all think now? I know i need to improve the sketch, just seeing if it look right in the skeleton stage? If the idea looks good, i'll start refining it. I really want to move on to color!

                    I like the composition and the viewpoint. I've got to say, the giraffe cracks me up. Did you ever hear the old Bill Cosby routine about the baby buggy races? This reminds me of that. Look it up on YouTube, it is hilarious! Every car had its own theme music, Batman, The Green Hornet, etc.

                      Thanks for your advice! Here's my final sketch before I move on to color. Will Terry's "There Once was a Cowpoke" illustrations inspired most of this, the giraffe was my own idea though. Excited to get to coloring! I'm also going to paint it Will Terry's 10 steps. Let's see if I can!

                          @Christina-Taylor-Brown The rock will probably cast some shadow too 🙂

                              Color tests: I'm having trouble deciding. Can anyone help me pick?

                                These are looking good. Although I might suggest going back to the value stage and working that out a bit more. If you turn off your line layer, you will see that your have mostly middle greys without real darks and lights. Think about local tone a bit more. Some cars will be dark, and some cars will be light. Then the lighting pass gets added on top of those values, but you never lose that value structure.

                                  @Lee-White Thank you ! I was wondering about that. When I do values, I'm always scared to go too dark. I really need to work on that!
                                  Here's what I've got and i'm happy so far. I normally work traditionally, so this is probably my third attempt at a digital piece.

                                      Oh girl, this is so amazing!! I love the whole feel of it!! The only thing was the speed limit sign, and it looks like you took care of it! I like color study #4, everyone knows red cars are fastest hehe

                                          I really like your design, you've done a great job problem solving! Personally I'm liking number 2 and number 4 for your color tests.
