      @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

                      @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.

                                      I’ve been working on another glow illustration for awhile now and I’m looking for some feedback on composition and concept. It may hard to tell at this stage but basically these kids heard something at night and are checking it out when their candle goes out and the figure in the back will be a glowing ghostly apparition. Is it ok that I’ve cropped out their feet?

                                        @Asyas_illos I love this, Asya, so moody and scary. I think your composition is really nice, and it utilises the space in a good way... I don't think cropping out feet is a bad thing for this, it would be dark anyway and the feet wouldn't be very visible regardless...

                                        If you want to change it up, I was thinking that maybe moving the camera to be in front of them and bunching the kids closer to each other and to us, might make the mood even creepier... This would also place the threat in a looming position, which might make it feel more menacing... I did a quick reshuffle to show what I mean... I don't think that this composition is better, it's just different. I think the illo would turn out lovely either way, and I look forward to seeing it finished! 😊
