      I know this is supposed to last all month long but due to family and school constraints, I am having to go ahead and submit. I did spend time researching the elements and working through thumbnails and getting a little critique help from the forums. To be fair I did quite a bit of character development for these characters that I have dubbed the Ink Mice during Inktober. I also did quite a bit of inking and coloring practice to develop this particular style. So without further ado here is a Christmas card cover: The Three Wise Mice!

          @Zachary-Drenski Thanks! My goal for the month was to be able to create a digital image that looks traditionally done. I am really pleased with the results.

              I ended up reposting because I can’t stop fiddling with it but I just need to stop now haha! I’ve been focusing in improving my fundamentals and was really focusing on values in this one, but it was a big struggle and took forever because I couldn’t stop fussing with it2ECFC413-0904-47C8-AE3E-0B2C32923E00.jpeg

                @anya-macleod rather than deleting you can go back in and edit your post. Took me a few minutes to learn that.

                And your illustration looks lovely. I love the color palette.

                      @Inge-Permentier thankyou! I've been focusing lately on colours, my colours always felt disjointed since I changed to digital

                        A very personal piece for the #slowvember challenge. I did a memory from my childhood, I remember the toys, the computer, the beer can collection and even the dinosaur poster I broke while playing baseball. I’m very happy with how it turned out!

                          A heart broken mother ghost watches her only child ghost leaving home. It's tough moving out on your own when you're alive and it must be even harder to cross over! Very sad story. I hope the rest of the family leave the old run down house soon!

                            Hi everyone, I’ve learnt a lot again this slowvember but it’s time to post as the rest of the month is taken up with other commitments. I wanted an excuse to play around with textures and a less polished looking drawing style. Hope you’re all having a great slowvember, can’t wait to see everyone’s work 🙂

                                  That was obviously a really good idea. This turned out really REALLY awesome!
