      @Enni-Heikura I, too, am reading this as the Princess being saddened that her Prince is now (or back to being) a frog and is disgusted by his eating worms. I am reading the pictures on the wall as showing disgust or dismay.

      I think it might be stronger if the table were shorter so that there was more direct interaction between the frog and the Princess to show that her sad look is being caused by him (if that is what is happening.) And if the picture on the table is him when he was a prince, that could also be bigger so that it would be clearer. I'm also not sure about the shadow behind the frog -- is it of the frog before he got changed to a frog?

      I do love your style, though, and really enjoy your pieces.

        Hey guys, it's been a minute!

        I'm currently doing Peachtober - one of the spin off drawing challenges from Jake's Inktober.

        I'm not really an inking kind of gal, so no offense to Jake, but this challenge just fits me better.

        Anyway, here's a recent piece from the month:

            @jvartandillustration Oh yes, they really can be. OMG. I used to paint Trompe L'Oeil. It consumed me... and I oftentimes way underbid and it was easy to slip into scope creep. I idolized Graham Rust, who would only contract 1 mural a year. But his murals took on a life of their own, and he was paid handsomely for it. Great job on yours by the way! Hope you can wrap this up soon, for your well being! πŸ™‚

              @ArtistErin Thank you so much, Erin! This was fun to work on. I owe the perspective to a great reference photo.

                @Yogita-Chawdhary I Try to honor perspective first! It's my greatest challenge to date. I feel like it can make or break a composition. It's one of those things too that confounds so many! I need to visit the library again and pick up some books on the subject. πŸ™‚

                  @ArtistErin Totally feel you on that! I honestly struggle with it too. I always have this clear vision or angle in my head, but when it comes to actually drawing it on the canvas and lining up the perspective, it’s tough! I find myself relying on references a lot to get it right. I really need to make time to study it more and get a proper hang of it too. πŸ˜…

                    @AthenaBeana @demotlj Thank you both so much!

                    Your comments were really helpful, and you understood the story correctly. The princess is sad because her prince has turned into a frog, and she longs for him, which is why the picture of them both is on the table. The princess is disgusted by the frog eating, while the frog enjoys his worms.

                    I changed the princess to look at the frog and made the table a bit shorter. I hope the image is clearer now.

                    I also tried adding green to the worms to indicate that they smell.

                        This is a sketch I did in Central Park while I was visiting New York City which I scanned into Procreate when I got home and painted digitally. I was really amused by seeing the pigeons perched on the characters' heads and hands. I'm sure NYC natives don't give the pigeons a second thought but they brought such whimsy to the scene for me.

                          If you can’t decide whether to walk it or wear it, just do both- with a little sass! πŸŠπŸ‘œ

                            I suddenly felt like making a colorful illustration because I think my HFYA November piece is a bit dull in terms of color and that makes me quite disappointed about it... I'm almost considering making a completely new, more colorful picture for it.

                                    I was feeling crafty so this image for the HTFYA prompt was done using cut out pieces of paper to create a bit of depth. It was so much fun to not have to stare at a screen and just go crazy with paper and pencils.
