APRIL CONTEST: Design A Fairy-Tale Inn
-
@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!
-
@jdubz Beautiful, love how you made the characters, though small, so strong in front of that waterfall. I thought of putting my Dew drop Inn behind a waterfall but couldn't figure out how to do it....you obviously figured it out, and exceptionally well I might add!
-
@KathrynAdebayo Clever, clever you! love it!
-
@Moana-Maureen Love the quiet palette and mystical feel you got in this one. Nice cloud overlays.

) -
@donnamakesart thank you. I'm hoping they all have a buzzing time at the Buzz Inn.

@ruth thank you. I really love drawing thing which have lots of bits to discover. Even if the jokes are a bit cringeworthy sometimes!

@Jeremiahbrown Thank you. It really was a nightmare at times
Hopefully the next prompt will be a little less technical. I don't think I can deal with another hexagon for a week or so!
