@drawnbyshawn I really like this. It's a nice composition and it's drawn and rendered nicely. You have the bananas, pineapples and oranges too. I think children would like this!

[drawnbyshawn]

@deborah-Haagenson Thanks! I was hesitating whether to put the pineapple, papaya, and bananas in there as I thought it would be packing too much in. But, in the end I thought they kind of blend in with the jungle background and they didn't feel like they were drawing too much attention.

@miranda-hoover I love his fat plump belly, that adds to the teasing.

[Heather Boyd]

@esgoldman I really like Clydes facial expression and gestural expression.

[esgoldman]

@Heather-Boyd Thank you so much!

[miranda-hoover]

@Brad-Newman Yay! Thank you

[miranda-hoover]

@Heather-Boyd Thank you!

[miranda-hoover]

@Neha-Rawat Very charming! Great work!

Worked so hard on this piece!! I think I was a bit too ambitious, gotta keep it simpler... it took me all month! Happy with the result, though, even if not perfect...

They've been showing a lot of Bob Ross during lockdown in UK. I wasn't consciously aiming for a Ross style piece, but I think he'd approve of this approach nonetheless! I'm calling this "Joy of Bongo". It's even got a happy little tree, and countless "happy accidents"! Lol.

I did get a bit carried away and smashed my stylus to pieces when I beat the devil out of it.

Thanks to all those that helped in the forums, much appreciated!

@gavpartridge this came out great! I love your happy little orange tree

[gavpartridge]

@K-Flagg cheers mate! Got a bit lost in my values, and it turns out painting foliage takes a very long time!! But yeah, learnt a lot with this one pretty happy with it.

It was so fun to try something like this!!
