        @StudioLooong Great image, and I love how you draw an old person. I will take your image as reference.

            I've been MIA a while, published my first book this year!!! Still have a lot to learn about working with digital, but these prompts are a good way to get back at it again. I love drawing, but worked for 3 days to get the colors so that I liked them. This is titled: First day of school.

                  Here is my Mermay rendition. Such fun ideas on the forum. I was in a robot mood, so I went with it. Thanks!

                        @StudioLooong The paintings of the cats behind her are fantastic! Especially the unicorn cat fish! Its also refreshing to see an older mermaid instead of a young whipper snapper! Love it!! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

                            This mermaid is having to fend off a hungry octopus!

                                          Yesterday I played with procreate(usually using only for sketching), I am always painting clean,with clean lines and everything in Photoshop, but not yesterday, this was very raw, sketchy and unclean drawing with colors and I liked it and had lot of fun doing it...it was difficult for me not to correct everything..because I never draw in such style...

                                            My piece for this month's art contest: "Message in a bottle"
                                            This was such a fun challenge πŸ™‚ I seized the opportunity to create something new for my portfolio.
                                            It's the first time I really mixed traditional and digital together and I liked working that way!

                                            Good luck everyone - it was fun to watch all of your entries! πŸ™‚
