@LauraA I actually really like the way you do their faces. Maybe it's because of all the anime I've watched, but I like the fairly naturalistic style paired with more stylized expressions. I often do the same thing with my characters for the same reason you do.

@Mimi-Simon I love this! The perspective is so good
-
I just mailed off this bookmark that I made for a charity auction. It's run by a troop of Brownies in the UK and helps support a primary school in Zimbabwe. Always makes me happy to find ways to use my art for good things. Hopefully this one catches someone's eye at the auction!
-
@MiaNova thanks! the perspective was a doozy! I made thumbnails then delayed starting to draw for a couple months because I was afarid of drawing that down shot.
But now that i'm finally tackling it i'm pretty happy with the result (assisted by lots of clip studio perspective rulers) -
@NickyDrew Thank you! making the viewer able to feel the atmosphere in a piece is something I strive for.

Hi, everyone.
I started a webcomic on Valentine’s day, The MisAdventures of Winston about a french bulldog and his friends.
-
@Melissa_Bailey wonderful!
-
@Lisa-Clark do you know about Clip Studio Paint? One of the cool things about it is it has poseable models to use as drawing references. They just had an update and added a hand camera. You use your phone camera on your hand and it poses the hand model in CSP to match. So can’t find reference for a hand pose, make your own. That excited me.

@Chantal-Goetheer those are lovely, i bet the kids loved them!

After a dry spell of many months I dredged up an old concept this morning (again) to try solve the problem of why it just wasn't working even though I had already redone it once. I was partly motivated by the bunny boys' latest draw-over video, so I am offering many many thanks for putting that out for the world each month. It might be many months again until I finish it, but the point is that I sat my butt in the chair today to start Iteration 3. Hugs and/or solidarity to everyone who is finding it hard to do that, too.
Iteration 1:

@jenn it looks very promising! Can imagine the horrified look of the parent when walking into that scene. Great you picked it up again.

@agathe Hi! I am in Turin, about two hours from the border. For the illo, my suggestions are by no means obligatory, but since I spend most of the past year working on storytelling, I thought I would offer something from what I've learned. For me, storytelling is one of the trickiest parts!
-
@NickyDrew It's such a struggle trying to figure out how far to take each element stylistically! I did go back and rework Hansel's face, then deleted most of it and ended up with a little more volume. I probably end up spending more time on cartoony faces than I do on more realistic ones! Draw, delete, draw, delete, hmm, there's something I like. I wonder why? Eh, just go with it! Etc.

@crispalomino Such sympathetic expressions!
-
@jenn Just wanna say good to see you back here! It's looking great.

@LauraA Ha yep that's definitely a struggle! I think I spend more time erasing than drawing too!

@ArtMelC Thank you for your encouraging words
