          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

                  My entry for May. A bunch of friends are hiking when they suddenly see an incoming storm!

                          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!).

                            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 everyoneโ€™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!

                                      @Melissa_Bailey wow Melissa. These are both fantastic and have so much emotion. Love them both equally. Crossing fingers and toes for the top 16 for you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                                          Went for an old-school comic book feel for this one.

                                            @emily-atwood-art But the deadline is at the stroke of midnight 31st May? I like this a lot Emily, especially your colour and sense of liveliness about the image, and your characters are fun.
