APRIL CONTEST: Design A Fairy-Tale Inn
-
@lizardillo I think enduring your "hexagon hell" definitely turned out to be worth it! It's creative and so loveable!
-
@jdubz and @Melissa-Bailey-0 THANK YOU! I'm really inspired by both of your styles and processes, and your encouragement means a lot to me.
-
@marek-halko LOVE This! The details really make it, and the simple shapes really show them off.
@lizardillo You nailed this! It is so sweet.
@Kim-Rosenlof Your textures and colors are lovely here. Is it traditional media? -
@Jeremiahbrown thanks so much! Every Fairytale Inn needs pigs chillin' on the roof!
-
@Valerie-Light aww, you're so sweet! You're so welcome and thanks a bunch!
-
@marek-halko gah! I love this! Halloween anytime of the year is ok with me!
-
@Megan-van-der-Berg Aww. Thanks so much!
-
@DaveLeekArt and I just realized the challenge called for an ‘Inn’... not necessarily our traveller’s home - whoops! Guess it pays to not rush and submit last minute after glancing at the rules.
-
@donnamakesart Thank you so much!
-
@Kevintreaccar Haha! You had me going there, I had to check the calendar!
-
@Asyas_illos The uploads to the website don't post automatically, it just needs to be updated, should be soon!

@Valerie-Light Thank you! I draw the with paper and pencil and then scan it in to clean up and color it in Photoshop. So half and half, I guess. I really haven't done a lot of traditional watercolor, so I prefer to do it on the computer so I can erase my errors. I wanted to redraw it because some stuff looked fine to me on paper, but once I colored it on the computer, the drawing didn't look like I wanted it to, and I didn't notice the mistakes as easily. I think that I should have sharpened my pencil more
. It takes me a long time to get the illustration done because I draw it traditionally. I just haven't been able to recreate my pencil work digitally yet, so I am still doing it with pencil until I can figure out how to do it on the computer. I am excited for that day to happen. 
Your Inn looks fantastic! So much detail. I love the grass roof and your witch silhouette. The lighting and all the characters are great too. Did you do it traditionally?Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kiminyrose/

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Beautiful work Melissa. Nice story telling (love how she's dragging her weary body up those stairs) Lovely watercolor feel and linework.

@marek-halko Love love...colors and stylization is awesome! Lovely shapes through out, a winner!

@lizardillo So lovely to see all your research and sketches pay off with this buzzingly bizzy inn coming to life! Super . A joy to let my eyes wonder about. Looks like these bees know how to party after a hard days work!
