Not a real print this month... my plate had problems and I didn't have time to try again. So it is pen only...

Here is my submission. Penny doesn't show much emotion so a smirk is quite the smile.

...or so she thought.

Wow, these are great! Thanks everyone who submitted! We're still trying to nail down a date for the next Critique Arena, but looks like it'll be sometime during the week of Nov 11-15...we'll keep you posted!

@Miriam Awesome! I was wondering if anyone would go this route. Looks great.

Greetings Everyone!

I know I'm a little late but I have been busy illustrating a book I can't wait to share with everyone.

Because I love a challenge, for this contest, I wanted to visually tell the story just with the cast shadows and a few clues. I hope you love it as much as I loved solving this puzzle!

Congrats to everyone on your original creative approaches and keep up the good work!

Stay well and creative.

@CatOnPaper very neat to use the shadows for storytelling.

@CatOnPaper

So happy you participated I still love your work. Inktober was my main focus so I did not get one in.

[CatOnPaper]

@jaepereira Oh cheers! Glad you love my approach. Keep up the good work yourself!

[CatOnPaper]

Thanks a lot @Heather-Boyd! I should have concentrated on the current book as well as finding my next client but I really wanted to have a chance to stay connected to this channel!
