May 2024 Submissions - How To Fix Your Art

[evka8D]

Ok, I wanted to participate in this since I've started lurking in here but I somehow didn't realize that May is almost here and silly me wanted to attempt a double spread in like three days Simply, it's not finished but I'd like to share it anyways. I enjoyed working on it, I'm quite proud of my work on it so far, it's my first time doing a double spread and although not finished and polished I managed to get it to... let's say somewhat presentable level at least I will finish it later. It was a challenge I will definitely make sure to start much earlier next time

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Apologies for the double post -- this is the file I'd like to submit. This was done in colored pencil, pen, and gouache with some digital edits. Looking forward to feedback -- thanks!

Hi, I wanted to make an image from a world of characters I drew for Inktober some years ago. Making a color illustration was a great challenge and fun!

@Norman-Morana
For the record, I just reminded myself of your previous submissions and one of favs over the years is your”Sprout” submission. Made me laugh:)

Hi everyone! This is my first time participating in HTFYA. I really loved this month’s theme and how open-ended it was. I was a bit late to getting started on this one, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to receiving feedback on it!

@MarcRobinson Oh my goodness, this IDEA!! Hilarious! This is golden, and the rougher style really suits it.

[Norman Morana]

@Larue haha, oh that is too funny that you remember that one. I had a lot of fun with that one lol

@Sarah-VanDam hey thank you so much.

@Enni-Heikura hi! Looks ok on my phone. When you get that resolution trouble it might be due to the scale of the details (like line too thin) relative to the image size. Maybe zooming out during work and testing different pen widths could help?

@tiffatsea very nice rendering!

@JennyJones by the end of day on the 1st, so I guess that would be 11:59 pm. However, as long as your artwork is submitted before I collect them (which is normally on the 2nd or 3rd) I will still include them.
