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

            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!).

                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!

                          @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 😃

                              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.

                                    Here is my entry at last, I enjoyed the process though it was a long one and I learned so much, though I almost gave up. Funnily enough the last few days we started to have storms!Stephen Noshie May 2022-Storm1.jpg

                                    I hope I can get some feedback on this image, it is the best I can do for now.

                                      @PenAndrew Good job! I like how it turned out, especially the waves and the cracks in the teacup.

                                            The Calm During the Storm.
                                            When I was little I was afraid of storms. I have a memory of my dad sitting with me, on Pelee Island Ontario, watching a storm. It was the first time I was not afraid. Him explaining to me the fact that light travels faster than sound and that it was off in the distance calmed me.
