      I love how simply you convey great stories and textures... I totally get it about drawing ideas out and seeing how they come to life or not. I do the same thing! Sometimes a thumbnail is so much better and in my mind it's different than the final render.

          @kirsten-mcg I thought about that but wasn’t totally sold I could make it work. It’s still on the back burner😉

              @Asyas_illos this is cool! I like how we can't see what's in that hole. Leaves it open to the imagination.

                    @Asyas_illos hi! i think this 2nd piece would do better with a centered composition. it's looking awesome

                      @Asyas_illos I really like this so far. I think grid like pattern we can see in the dirt on the lower left does look a bit odd though. I think it would be less distracting if it just looks like the rest of the dirt. Aside from that I really love the textures you have in the dirt. I’m always trying to fill my pieces with more texture. How did you achieve yours?

                        @Griffin-McPherson you’re right I’ll be going back to try and remedy that as for the texture, I’ve been really trying to branch out and get creative with textures myself. The way I do the dirt is I use a million different brushes (3 or 4) each brush gets a different color but I won’t vary it to far from the base color. I used a gouache brush for the base then when over it with a rough marker and I used a crummy roller and broken crayon. And on top of that a dotty flaky one for the flecks of dirt. And of course my trusty rake!

                            @Asyas_illos lDo you set a separate layer for each color/brush for the textures? I'm trying to learn this as well. And to keep the piece looking unified and while applying minimal brush strokes. Found some cool brush packs from Retro Supply Co. however not finding crayon yet! Where did you find your brushes?

                              @ArtistErin yes I do keep them separate and use clipping masks then when I achieve a look that I like I’ll condense them down to one layer. But I’ll keep the different elements of the entire image separate. Like the ground is one layer, the light is another etc. I’ll see if I can find the names of the packs I’ve bought.

                                @ArtistErin ok I’ve bought at least 4 brush packs from this seller on Etsy, it’s called frankentoon. It’s cheap and quality. I have the nautika, nomad, squid and crayon packs which I use frequently. They are all procreate compatible I don’t know about other software though. But I usually go to Etsy to find my brushes. Underlined are all the packs I’ve purchased separately and circled are the frankentoon packs but I didn’t see the crayon pack on Etsy anymore. There’s tons of other options though and most are really reasonably priced. Having the right brushes makes a huge difference in my productivity.

                                  Making some progress… I plan on cropping and centering it after it’s finished

                                    So I’m wondering what you guys think about missing arms? Lol 😂
                                    I’m not sure if should add the back arms to the characters on the theft, do you think it’s necessary?

                                          Ok I’ve added arms and really I’m ok with it either way lol, but I’d like hear what others think. Back arms on left characters or no. Above is without below is with.

                                            Think I’m done with this I went with no back arms cuz the silhouette was much clearer
