Here's mine. I wasn't sure if I was going to come up with one but the live demo I did on Saturday gave me an idea that I just went with and ended up really liking the final drawing.

To me isolation isn't at all a negative thing and I think sometimes we forget how function without hustle, bustle, and stress of modern life coupled with constantly being around people. I'm one of those weird people that likes going to the movies or dinner by myself, but I also really like hanging out with people too.

So I thought I'd go with my frog just having a grand ol' time on the water with some fireflies, his pal the many faced moon and some music

@jdubz I really like this one!

Kat

Here's mine! It was great to have time off work this month to work on it. I really enjoyed the isolation, so I wanted to do something that reflected the peace and calm of being alone, and I wanted to make it a simple scene with not-too-bright colors. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.

Thanks!

@aprilshin love love the shape of your whale and how you created depth with the shadow of the fish on the whale -I had considered that as well. I think it's so interesting how so many of us have a water element in our work, water = isolation good and bad and a little in between.

Heather Boyd

@jdubz I love how your story telling and your style is improving. I'd like to get away and return to a lake, and if I was a frog I could eat up all the mosquitoes that thought they could bite into me. lols Thanks,

Heather Boyd

@Kat Yeah this is nice - really liked the sketch. This is digital right? The background trees especially have a really nice watercolory feel.
