      Some people are doing some impressive heavy-hitting with detail! Nice work, @Jason-Crowley, @JennyWren and @Anke-Noack!

        I wasn't sure what to do this month, so when in doubt...make it silly!

        My natural way of drawing can often be quite stiff, and when it comes to rendering I always get lost making everything look "right". So recently I've been trying to loosen up and I hope it comes across like that, rather than sloppy. But one thing I've learnt is it's harder than it looks! My old style takes quite a while, so I challenged myself to do it in one sitting. That way I wasn't tempted into noodling with all the details.

        Traditional ink drawing with digital colour in Ps.

          @MarcRobinson this is great! Hilarious that "the body vanished" and its floating right above them, great work!

            My submission for HTFYA for April, a lot of first for me with this submission. First submission, first time using a cintiq, first time using many of the techniques learned from watching many digital painting vids on SVS. Can't wait to get the feedback, whatever it may be, so I can start improving!

              @MarcRobinson Loosening up is the hardest thing! I think you've pulled it off here.

                  @Jason-Crowley thank you mate. Yeah it was so difficult I'm afraid it'll never become natural to me.

                              I had several ideas but ended up with this one πŸ™‚

                              Here's the resolution looking poor again before you download the image. If anyone has any advice on this, I'd appreciate it.πŸ™ Of course it is just in this forum but still...

                                Couldn't resist the sea lol. Thought this was a fun prompt so I had to give it a shot.

                                    Couldn't resist this prompt - I’ve been really inspired to take part after seeing all the great work and really useful feedback over the last few months. I wanted to set my scene in a murky lake but maybe it’s gone a bit too murky?! Anyhoo, it was great fun to create and try my hand at some underwater lighting. 🐟

                                        I let this one stew for a while, so I think I will call it done. Fun prompt and I got a whole graphic novel story brewing for these characters. Will hopefully circle back to them one day and expand on it.
