October 2024 Submissions - How To Fix Your Art
-
I decided to stop painting because I was beginning to noodle and once that happens I could do it forever. Going to call it done. Saying Goodbye brought up many thoughts, but the one that stuck with me was the theme of death. Chirpy, I know.
Still riding that Rockwell train at the moment and I'm trying to incorporate his way of thinking into my own work. Hopefully it doesn't come across as direct imitation but more of an influence. -

@MarcRobinson
Love the concept and execution! I think it leans towards a Rockwell because of the period clothing, if it was a more modern environment I wouldn’t connect the two. -
@TY-Graphics-LLC
Love the rich color palette and line work! -
@cgibson
Nice character design! -
@Heli-P
Aw, So sweet. Love the frame outlines on the walls. -
@Larue thank you, and yeah the period clothes give it away a bit.

@Larue thanks! I’m still in search of a style. The line work is pencil on hot press Canson 90lb watercolor paper. This pencil work was then scanned. Color was applied digitally in Photoshop.

Saying goodbye - One of the teeth has to go away, but the other teeth friends are happy. instagram.com/nekohues -
@Heli-P I love this one, it is a sad situation but the expressions of the dog, girl and cat lighten up the mood

Hello! For this one I felt inspired to try to make a mini comic.

Here's my submission for October! I experimented quite a bit with my workflow on this piece. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck while working on my drawings, so I decided to change things up. Trying various workflows and techniques has really helped me work through that feeling!

Here’s my submission for this month. The thought behind this was both a simple goodbye to the hair, but also goodbye to being a little kid and the older girl entering a part of childhood where she’s still very dependent on her parents but is exploring her own agency and will. A time of unplanned microbangs, blunt bobs and buzzcuts for the boys
I’m curious if the concept is clear, does this read as a form of goodbye? I’ve asked some friends and family members, but none are illustraters/artist, and I think maybe that makes a difference
