APRIL CONTEST: Design A Fairy-Tale Inn

[brettb_draws]

@s1h0k I really like this ! The colours are relaxing to look at and the lifework is really clean. Just noticed the cat daring itself to go for the fish

@jdubz I started with thumbnails on paper, and then worked out the line drawing & perspective digitally on top of one of those. I printed the line drawing out and put it under a sheet of watercolor paper on my lightbox and did 90% of the color with watercolor. Then scanned back in to Procreate and adjusted color and shadow in multiply layers, and fixed up detail and lettering. I'm not super happy with the brush texture I used for that, and I'm wondering if it looks as awkward to other people as it does to me.

Hello there, thank you to those who commented to help me with my original prompt idea. This new idea popped up recently, so here’s a different take on an inn. Posting without the template, since it looks a bit blurry to me with the template (using Procreate). Everyone designed so many amazing and inspiring buildings this month.

@brettb_draws thanks a lot! Glad you like the it!

[Asyas_illos]

So many great entries! But my hat is off to you guys who are able to cram in sooo much detail! I used get lost in my detailing and and get overwhelmed or bored and ultimately give up, so good on you too keep at it!

[KathrynAdebayo]

@Valerie-Light bravo!

[Jacy13]

@Larue Beautiful work!

[Fay]

These all look fantastic! It will be another interesting critique arena!

"The Gargantu Inn"
(I like the blue but it might be a bit crazy so I figured I'd include both.)

[Jeremiahbrown]

@KathrynAdebayo This is wonderfully creative! It looks like a pleasant spot for our hero to stay for the night.

[Jeremiahbrown]

@Georgios-Christopoulos I love the mood of the top one. Great work and I love all the little details!

[Jeremiahbrown]

@jdubz TeeHee, I love it!

[Jeremiahbrown]

@Tiffany-Thomas I think this goes so well with your traveler! It adds a fun twist to her journey. I'd like to see how she would react to this Inn and the events that would ensue, hehe.

[KathrynAdebayo]

@Jeremiahbrown Thank you, your gargantuINN is really intriguing and interesting to look at!

[ellenseal_art]

Ahh...I'm so intimidated. I've always been a creator but I just started pursuing children's illustration this year. This is my first month taking classes, so I figured I'd go all in and try the contest as well! I believe I committed the newbie sin of over-illustrating, but it was too fun not to. Hope you like the GingerB&B!

[RachelArmington]

@Elizabeth-Rose, I love how delicate your work is!

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Jeremiahbrown Both are amazing as always! I love the tiny little characters which give it scale. Looks like a fun (and maybe a little crazy) place to stay (haha).

[Tiffany Thomas]

@ellenseal14 it's absolutely perfect! I love the pattern-like details over the whole thing, Beautiful and amazing!

[Elizabeth Rose]

@RachelArmington Oh! Thank you

[ajillustrates]

@Georgios-Christopoulos Love it! The details are spot on, and the greens in the sky and water are unexpected/delightful.
