Nightfall comes with night conjures and magic

Painting the stars each nightfall is a long job, but enjoyable!

So I was watching last month’s crit while working on my submission for this month when I realized I was doing another standard point of view. So I started over and came up with this piece which was quite challenging for me. But I am happy with how it turned out.

When you're afraid of the dark...

This is my first illustration submission. It's a bit of a different style from most of the work on here, but I love this community, the podcasts, the courses, feedback, etc, so I thought I'd start entering the monthly contests. I considered adding color but decided to keep it in black and white. It was done originally in pen and ink, traditionally, then I scanned it and added a few digital revisions.

It's about the things we try to protect our kids from, their imaginings at night, sure, but more powerfully, the hurt of the world. As a foster parent, this is something I experience a lot-- trying to shield these little ones from further trauma.

Here's my first ever entry - created with watercolour and oil pastels. My image is part of a story about a boy who has gone to bed poorly. Illustration is not something I'm used to doing so it will be a learning curve for me - looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone though and trying all the classes and joining in the forum.

Thank You!

I got started a bit late this month so I opted to go with a simple design. Hope you guys like it! I intended to paint a city, but for some reason, the countryside always comes out!

Hey guys!

Wow, so many awesome entries, again! Thanks everyone who voted on my poll. Appreciate it. Here's my final piece.

The thief snickered at how easy it was to break into the mansion at nightfall. The garage was left wide open. He snatched and looted stealthily, stuffing his backpack. Grinning, he slipped out the front door. And met his worst nightmare - Super Skunk.
