October 2024 Submissions - How To Fix Your Art

@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!
-
@Mariana-B Brilliant work and concept!

@Victoria-Slight I love the feel and mood for this one, lovely !

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

@Sunniva I love this!! I think you took the concept of "goodbye" and gave it a wonderful lightheartedness upon initial viewing. however, after looking at it with more depth, I do see a deeper meaning. Seeing her sister's reaction definitely shows that age gap between the two, showing the different stages of where they are in their life. As a parent, I also relate to the unplanned micro bangs and blunt bobs hahaha. Your colour palette is great too!

This prompt was absolutely wonderful because I enjoy drawing everything sad and melancholic. I came up with many ideas, but ended up with this one, and in addition to the main image (on the right), I also created smaller images on the left to provide some background (I wanted to create even more of them, but I restrained myself).
Actually, I got excited and made a little video about this topic as well, if you're interested in watching
