Isolation WIP - this one probably end up being more than 50 thumbnails.

Kat

I like the girl I. A bottle best

Jennyann

I like 2 and 3 the best. I can feel the notion of isolation in these 2 the most. I get the feeling of silence, and being with oneself.

chrisaakins

I like 3 best and 1 best. I too would love to see some more of your fish.

@Kat @Jennyann @chrisaakins, thank you for weighing in. It got me think clearer. I struggle with this prompt. I think some of my thumbnails could work, but I kind of feel it is not "IT" for me yet. I want to digg a bit more on what is isolation for me. I really like the technology isolation idea by @chrisaakins. I wish I have thoguht about that

chrisaakins

@xin-li you can use it!

@chrisaakins thank you. I may do it.

Hi @xin-li Nos. 1 and 3 are so interesting. I'm curious about how you are going to color them. No. 3 is a very nice illustration, is she a siren?

xin li

@Mara-Price I have not given much thoughts on the color. I think I have some clear idea on the color for no.2 and 6. But I do not know about no1. and 3. In terms of the method of doing color study, I think I want to try Braden's quick mini painting approach.

@xin-li I like the look of 3 in your thumbnail but quite like the stories in flying to the moon to paint alone and the giant in the garden.

Taigyo

I think the bottle is most interesting and has a lot of potential for both a cool composition and presentation

I like #3 best. I think the bottle composition would make a beautiful illustration

@Heather-Boyd @Taigyo @K-Flagg
Thank you so much for weighing in. I am so surprised by how many vote No.3 got. Seems like the composition is quite sucessful to draw attension compared to the others.

I also like the composition. But I am struggle with the concept, mainly because the feel of the illustration is not exactly how I relate to the topic of Isolation. I think I may go with no.1 or no.6 concept wise, and work on the comp a bit more before proceeding to painting.

Heck, I might just paint the girl in the bottole for fun, but not for the contest :-). I am having a week off to spend extra time with my daughtor before she goes back to the kindergarten next week. So looking forward to get back to painting again next week.

Actually, I like number 1. It seems very you somehow!

I really like 3. What a great idea and an original concept.
