Ideas for cloud
-
@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?
-
@Asyas_illos I’m not sure I can envision it… I’m sorry…
-
@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?
-
@AngelinaKizz lol it’s ok
-
@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

@AngelinaKizz Looks like you have an idea with a story going now. The story is cute.
