      Sooo... after drawing like a ton of different houses and cabins, I realised, my Yeti would probably never lived in a house from bricks and stones. He’s a forest creature, from our fluffy and cute bohemian woods, so I’ve came up with all new sketch and designed his home under open sky.
      Do you guys have any thoughts/critiques? I’m not entirely sure if It’s according to the rules of this month prompt cause this is not an actual “house” but it is his home ... so maybe it’s ok? 🤓

        @mag love haha. Now that you point it out... but I would’t change a thing haha.

        PS: may I ask what brush you use? I’ve been exploring digital art recently.

          @donnamakesart thank you! 😁
          I did the sketch in Procreate and used the default 6b sketch pencil. The value is done in the gouache paint brush. 😊

            @mag I love this concept even more than the original homes in your thumbnail sketches! I think your style will really show through with this piece! 🙂

                I think I’m pretty much done here... but before I post it officially, I’ll sleep on it... do you see something that could be better/changed?
                Thanks everyone and good luck with this month prompt!7E4900B3-B594-4B7B-9295-3F9B4CD3714F.jpeg

                  @mag this is so fabulous I love it! My first impression (I'm viewing from my phone) is that it is all very light and around the same tone. Wonder if looking at it in grey scale would be helpful? It may just be my eyes and phone though and it also may be what you were going for but either way good work! 🙂

                    I would like to see suggestions of tress in the background and perhaps darken the fence so it doesn’t blend in with the snow. otherwise, perfect. A clear winner yet again haha.

                        @KaraDaniel thank you! You’re definitely right, it is a bit “pale”. I was struggling with colours a lot in this piece...

                          @donnamakesart thank you! Trees in the background are a great suggestion! I made the fence a bit darker and if I’ll have some more time, I might add those trees too!

                            Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I darkened the fence a bit and even tried to change the contrast a little, but it’s not a big difference I’m afraid...
                            I’ll keep that contrast thing in mind for my next illustrations, and if I’ll have like a ton of time I even might repaint this one 😅
                            We’ll see 😁

                                    I've had two agents so far, and can't remember what the days are, but I have never had issues with getting paid from my agent, its more issues w getting paid from the publishers sometimes. The publishers can be slow sending money, and my agent has had to nudge them for that. I have had the option to have payments get split from publisher to me and my agent, but I run everything through my agency, because if we move, and I forget to change address or something I dont want things getting lost. It makes it easier to keep track, and my agency always emails me when payments come in and send a receipt for them. So for me this arrangement works better.
