How about if more people post their progress? I would love to see that.

great idea, I would love to see that too
do you mind if we show on your post Thrace or will we create a new one for this?

Thrace

@audrey-dowling I would be happy for you to do that and thank you for the kind words!

Thrace

@Jiří-Kůs thank you and I would love to see that too!

Lynn Larson

audrey dowling

thanks Thrace
I found this one I made 3 years ago... comparing to my most recent one. I cringe every time I see old stuff I did ^^

Thrace

@Lynn-Larson thank you so much!! We all are making great progress!!

Thrace

@audrey-dowling Night and day isn't it? I cringe too every time I look at my book. I love my story so I am going to redo every picture!! I just love your new illustration it has so much love in it!!

@Thrace I was thinking what would improve your image and I think you can apply what Lee said in January 3rd Thursday. You use just local colours - blue, green, brown, yellow. You need to mix your colours, colour of moon light will mix where it hits things, blue from water and darkness could mix into shadows and colours of bugs. Watch again Lees intermission and try to apply it. Try to work on it like Lee did with purple monster image.
Also, you have reflection from moon, grass and bridge will also be reflected in the water.

Thrace

@Jiří-Kůs thank you, I will watch again and try!

Will Terry
