JUNE ILLUSTRATION CONTEST: TREEHOUSE

[Will Terry]

@lmrush Ha! Thank you Lisa

[Eric Castleman]

@Will-Terry sorry, that isn't a tree house, but a vine house jk .

I love this picture!!!! I really love how you use values. It is always so dynamic. One of the things I have been trying to grasp is how to know when darker values are in the foreground and when they are are more so in the background.

[Will Terry]

@Eric-Castleman DISQUALIFIED! ...I often look at a lot of reference before I begin a piece...this one happened because in looking for reference for another project I have to do this week - I saw a photo similar to this and the idea popped in - "put a treehouse in there" ...so the reference set the mood with dark and light values...

@Will-Terry Ooh! Love those colors! It makes me think of my boisenberry bushes and what could be happening in them Maybe I'll go see if I have any ripe ones

[Jason Kilthau]

Hi Lee,

I can't seem to paste my tree house illustration into thread. Tried hitting reply, gave it a title, dragged it into box, but it said I don't have enough privilege. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Linda Ferrara

@lferrara click the little button on the end and then it will ask you to select your image. Make sure it's a jpg and it's under 1 mb.

Here is my submission. My info should be on the bottom correctly. *edit, i guess my full name doesn't show: Mirka Hokkanen

@MirkaH love it!

[Jose Ramos]

@MirkaH I really like it, The rabbit scene hitting the ceiling with the broom is very funny.
Maybe the background is so dark, or perhaps is my computer.

@Jose-Ramos it is dark because it is at night time, but it still reads ok on my ipad and laptop screens.

[Jose Ramos]

@MirkaH Oh, yes, I know it´s at night, it´s just I meant to create a light glow behind the tree, so the tree contrast is more visible, but it´s only an idea.
