      @AngelinaKizz I don’t think that necessarily a bad method. There’s no rules in art! Do whatever works for you. If this is how you get your creative juices flowing then there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll do stuff like this as well sometimes. I just don’t give myself any restraints, I can rush through it, I can skip steps. It helps me to generate more ideas and get excited about working on the piece.

        @AngelinaKizz that’s how it usually goes for me too.

          @AngelinaKizz That's actually not a bad way to work! Especially if your first image can be fairy quick. Maybe I should try something like that.

            Trying something different, not sure if it’s working. I’d love to some how capture the progression of the zoom in that looks like a cloud, but upon zooming out it’s a kid enjoying cotton candy. My kids always say that clouds must taste like cotton candy…

              @AngelinaKizz I like the idea of cotton candy looking like a cloud. It really does.

              With that, what is the story for the piece?

                @Stephanie-H since it was just something cute that my kids say… it really doesn’t have substance to the story. So I’m gonna scrap and think more! I haven’t really had a ton of focus this month and it’s showing.

                  How’s the story and composition here?

                    @AngelinaKizz I know I’m missing something I’m not sure what he’s using the cotton balls for. I see he’s injured and he may be in for more water than he’s getting.

                      @Asyas_illos what I’m hoping to get across is him growing his own cloud to play in since he can’t fly.

                        @AngelinaKizz I'm seeing a bird with a broken wing watering a pot of cotton balls. It seems to be trying to grow a cloud. Maybe it misses flying and being among the clouds, so it's growing some for itself? Composition seems fine, but the story is still a bit fuzzy I think.

                          @Johanna-Kim thankyou! I need to figure out how to make it clearer that he wants to make his own cloud to play in since he can’t fly with his friends.

                            @AngelinaKizz Sounds like my guess was very close. And now I see the birds above. At this rough stage, I hadn't noticed them among the clouds. Maybe the packaging for the cotton balls can also show birds? Then I think you idea would be crystal clear.

                              @AngelinaKizz maybe creating a sort of kite or mobile or cloud light? Could help with story? Have it hanging from the tree some how?

                                  @AngelinaKizz maybe if you added a little garden tag in the pot with a silhouette of him playing on the ground with a cloud, as a sort of “after” image? 260FACEA-F192-4075-9DBD-DF3A5654E355.jpeg

                                      @Asyas_illos I feel a bit brain fried (we’re in choas too) so it’s probably that and not you.

                                        @AngelinaKizz I think she meant having the homemade clouds hanging on strings like this type of toys? Because now to me I read it as the bird wanting to grow bean sprout because my kid came back from school with a bean sprout growing on pieces of wet cotton balls. Haha. Having the cotton balls hanging will clarify the "clouds" concept
