Misunderstood monster concepts, help me pick?

[Gary Wilkinson]

I like 4 the best. It's a funny concept and it would be cool to see further sketches of it at different angles, variations Good luck with it!

[Martha Sue]

Here's the next round of thumbnails, any preferences or thoughts on the thumbnails? I rarely work this way and am trying to follow the checklist from the creative compositions course. Thank you!

@martha-sue I like #5, Composition is good, visually interesting.

[Martha Sue]

@adrian-k Thank you for weighing in, this is my favorite mainly because it has the cake stand in it and I want to draw that.

[TwiggyT]

I think I like 5 best, too, followed by 3 and 1.

That poor monster! I love this.

[rcartwright]

5 or 2 for me

[Martha Sue]

@twiggyt Thank you!

[xin li]

I vote for 5 also. I like the composition

[Elizabeth Rose]

yep I agree with everyone else: 5

[Martha Sue]

@rcartwright Thank you! I started on 5.

[Martha Sue]

Hi illustration people, here's my paint. I'll turn it in tomorrow, notice anything I should adjust first?

Thank you!

@martha-sue Perhaps a bit of a warm glaze over some of the top parts, like maybe the hair or the skin? And perhaps lighten up the value a bit more behind the mouth to make it stand out, since that yawning cavern of a mouth is hilarious and has a great dimensionality! I would say to vary the line weight as well, but it may be too late for that, given that it's the 31st, so don't worry. It's just the I like your line work so much in your second round of sketches! Sorry, I only just saw this thread morning, but your concepts were all funny, and I liked 2 and 5 as compositions as well. Good luck!

Lovely work, I like your idea and composition! Sorry i'm a little late posting too, the one thing i'd say is keep her left arm in the scene as its a little distracting that it's off to the side, that might just be me though

[Martha Sue]

@hannahmccaffery Thank you! I did start a paint over of that

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@martha-sue this is really cute! It’s giving me an Alice in Wonderland vibe.

[Martha Sue]

@lauraa Thank you! These are great suggestions. I might have time for those, we'll see. About the line quality, I have this gap between my traditional media line quality and digital. Also working on the difference between my fine art, and making a planned out illustration. I get cool line quality, and sometimes a good vibe to my traditional media work but it's like untamed and I can't get it to look like that when I thumbnail and plan things out. Onward I guess!

@nyrrylcadiz Thank you! I was thinking about her dress and the rabbit house scene, just trying to get inspired to learn about backgrounds since I have avoided them in the past.
