      @AlliFaith Kind of but I want to make it easier to look at here. Not needing to scroll down as much.

        @PenAndrew if you keep it a square shape you shouldn’t need to scroll so much. I do my entries for the contest on 2048 x 2048 pixels post them here and wherever else, then resize down to the required 1200x 1200 or smaller, for the critique arena. Hope that helps. I don’t need to scroll a bunch on that size, also it probably depends a little on what it’s being viewed on.

                  Calm during a storm. I have a memory of sitting with my dad on Pelee Island in Canada. It was the first time I wasn't afraid of a storm. He explained to. me that sInce light travels faster than sound, first you see the lightning flash, then a few minutes later you hear the thunder. Watching it from far away and learning about the science of storms made me feel less frightened.

                      @PenAndrew I like to make a second file that's the critique arena ratios, and then copy and paste my canvas. I like having the original size to work from if I want to go back in and rework it

                                The Aussie Dust Storm can create all sorts of problems, especially if you aren't prepared!! 😃 HollyOakley_May2022.jpeg

                                  Here is my entry. Went analog this month and did this entirely traditional with colored pencils (well, there were a few Photoshop edits post-scan!).

                                  8da2d3df-eb91-4e69-ae6f-0c8fe9de34e9-Melissa_Bailey_May2022.jpg

                                    And ... thought I'd use this month's prompt (cuz it was a good one!) to do a second illustration on toned paper. Wanted to test out how the toned paper handled watercolor and colored pencil. Next time, I think I'm going to try a gouache base under the colored pencils to help the colors pop against the grey background (I had to do a bit of color adjusting in Photoshop). All in all, it was a fun experiment!

                                      @Melissa_Bailey Oh I love the way you painted the first cloud, the second image is my favourite. Once again you have captured a feeling of movement and joy. A good contender for the top 16.

                                          Here goes for my entry! Love seeing what everyone’s making!!!

                                          Weirdly, I remember coming up with this concept of someone selling rubber duckies out in the rain years ago, but never made a finished drawing of it. It seemed like such a whimsical little moment to capture. This was the perfect opportunity to give it a go!
