      @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!

          @Nyrryl-Cadiz you’re right I guess it’s not as centered as I thought lol

            @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.

                              @Asyas_illos I love it, the stuff that's hidden in the ground and especially the mysterious thing glowing that we can't see and everyone is curisously peaking at. It really draws me into the story.
                              I do get the feeling when I look at the kid to the right is toppeling over? His point of gravity seems over the edge and the spade he holds on to doesn't seem to be heavy enough to support the weight?
                              You are right about the silhouette, I would have probably picked the other one because my brain tells me it's more complete 😂 but the back arms are really not necessary.

                                @Asyas_illos Nice! I like the final touches you made with the glow on their faces.

                                    So here’s my second entry I’ve been jamming on. Trying to make it a bit Halloween-y 😉 Any thoughts on story composition etc? Can you tell she is sitting cross legged?I wasn’t sure about the teddy bear either. That small part circle has a jack o lantern that goes it, and a rug will go underneath. Think I’m going to just leave this a spot illustration.

                                      Does the orange erased lines defining the girls hair and silhouette and bear look weird, because it’s not a solid silhouette?

                                        @Asyas_illos amazing how quick you come up with these super cute new ideas! Maybe for story add a cooking pot as it she's going to make potions with the bear? For silhouette one unified darker shape makes a clearer shadow? I love the cat stretching half in and half out of the tent.

                                            @Chantal-Goetheer thanks for the feedback! The cauldron is a nice suggestion but I’m not sure I can fit in without muddying up the silhouettes.
