      @Amanda-Jean I just had fun looking through your art. Great stuff! I think you have a nice sense for adding textures and details without ever overdoing it.

        @Zachary-Drenski Thank you, that is very kind of you to say! I am experimenting a lot, it's heaps of fun!

        And speaking of...
        Something from tonight which ended totally not how it started (I don't remember how it started though).

          Today's procreate noodling. Edit... changed my mind, took them out.

          I am interested in recreating this as a traditional painting perhaps. Have a canvas that fits the dimensions.

            Wow! I really love your style of illustration. That werewolf/dog man in a shirt piece is wonderful!

              @lovetherobot thank you, this style is a recent development for me but I like where it's going. I still mean to finish that werewolf too!

                Attempted this faux cut-out style piece. I started it in Procreate and then finished in Photoshop. Had some issues with the colours which I now think had something to do with the way I used texture this time, and it will be something to remain mindful of in the future if using this effect again.

                Gosh it was fun though 🙂

                  @Amanda-Jean The faux cut-out style is so neat! Your work has such cool textures and the cut-out style adds an extra punch. There is so much dimension to the witch (as if she is actually popping off the page/screen).

                  I didn't notice anything "off" with the colors, but I'm still learning. Could you explain a little more what you mean? Do you not like the colors? Or is it just that you imaged the colors differently in you mind?

                    @Kayla-Groening thank you!

                    I didn't intend for it to be quite so dark. The values of the colours are more intense and it lost some of its vibrancy. I actually had to do some colour correction and add adjustment layers to lighten and saturate my overall colour.

                    Don't usually need to take that step.

                        It looks like you had a ton of fun! I think kids would enjoy it too.

                            @Amanda-Jean hi! I love this mixed-media collage look that you’ve got going here. It’s beautiful. Great job. I especially love your witch.
