Share July HTFYA Ideas & WIP - (Food Truck)

@LauraA bummer! Hope you heal quickly!
-
@LauraA OH NO!!! Get better soon! Dang it!
I still want to see you finish this sometime. I’ll say for myself, I’ve gotten inspiration from Critique Arena and HTFYA and started a few pieces that I didn’t finish in time. BUT, I think I’m going to make time this summer to finish some of them, and I’ll share them with the group when I do.

Here's my first rough sketch. Not too sure if it's tickling my fancy yet...
-
Late to the party... Again. Trying to make this one using my preferred process of using a traditional pencil drawing first. My idea is a food truck selling "Food for Thought". Got to feed the mind too! -
@Sarah-VanDam I know, right? Once we finally get the idea down, we almost have to finish! Please do share. I looked at your site and the work is very nice!
For me, it may be fall before I can draw again, but I'll try to use the down time to study and write (via speech dictation).
-
@Gabby-Correia Love the tank! My seller is also a mermaid (at least part time), so I was thinking through ways to show a hint of tail.
-
@MarcRobinson Great design and concept! What will the food look like?

@MarcRobinson oooh love the details so far!
-
@LauraA thank you. I'm going for a traditional "Gypsy" style caravan with light bulb themes. I'm going to try and incorporate a joke in there somewhere, but I'll sort that during the painting phase.
-
@Gabby-Correia thank you, Gabby.

@LauraA
Well that sucks! I hope you heal up quickly! Very frustrating:( Your art will always be here,as will we. -
Loving everyone's ideas!
So I'm slightly guilty of changing the prompt a bit with this one.
I've ended up rethinking my story to be from the point of view of Scully Seagull who just wants a decent meal. He's tired of circling dumpsters and wants to teach his fellow gulls some proper table manners
The food truck is like no other because the pasta is being rolled fresh on the top of the truck and falling directly into the pot below with the work of these cute kids
I'd love to hear your thoughts even if I can't change all that much at this point because of time and working traditionally - there are already so many layers of paint on this thing haha
-
OK I think I am ready to post as my final, however if anyone has any small corrections or advice I would appreciate it. Thanks!
-
@jahn the sun is rendered in a realistic style that differs from the style in the rest of the composition.
-
@thomas-young Do you have a suggestion of how I could render it? take out the solar flares and just have a circle? Or make it more cartoony?
-
@jahn love the racoon throwing the food off the truck for his forest friends
-
@jahn Give the cloud a silver lining that suggests the sun's presence. It is the solar rays that draw my attention from the focus of the story.
-
@jahn Alas, Rhonda's truck has no rear-view side mirrors where you capture her priceless reaction to that renegade raccoon who has once again out-witted her. Maybe her facial expression or she is shaking her raised fist?
-
@thomas-young great idea, thank you
-
@jahn I think you have the beginnings of a great children's book!
