            Hello everyone! First time joining the forum and contest here. So here's my entry. I had this idea of a tree creature (we call him a kapre locally) who got curious about reading books. The little girl is oblivious to his presence but her dog is a bit wary. I hope this comes across. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
            Looking forward to seeing everyone else's entry!!

              @Rachel-Horne thank you! Maybe it is because i was watching all the vintage Autumn vlogs before adding the details 😃

                      Here is my slowvember entry. It's a book spread from my picture book dummy. The young sister keeps annoying her older sister (top bunk) with animal facts from her book. The blue guide line is where the gutter would be so I tried to design the composition to allow for that.

                            My first monthly challenge piece - and my first post. Boom!

                            A continuation of a piece started in October (like, obvi, right?). Loosely inspired by the hallowed Poe poem.

                                    Because it rains every day in November where I live, and even a little patch of color brings hope.

                                    Thanks for inventing Slowvember, Lee!

                                        This is the slowest of slowvembers for me. I played the viola in high school. (I was dismal at it..._)I daydreamed in Orchestra quite a lot. On the back of the sheet music for Vivaldi's Four Seasons, I sketched a cellist with a tree in each of the seasons sprouting out of the neck. The image has rattled around in my brain ever since.
                                        For this piece, I wanted to explore some of the ideas I learned in the Light and Shadow class...and practice digital painting...which I'm still learning.
                                        Slowvermber: Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Hopefully representing the power of music.

                                          Hi! Here's my entry, I basically wanted to create a winter image to go on a greeting card. I really love seeing other submissions, such a versatility!

                                            Here's what I've been working on this month - it's a spread from a story about a guy who has always wanted to be a strongman in the circus but when he tries to join it doesn't quite work out as he planned.

                                            It is watercolour with some heavy digital modifications.
