@Jacy13 I think the limit is how much the forum will let you upload but you should easily be able to save jpg for web that would be smaller, by reducing the artwork size or resolution

I actually made this for my agent's Halloween newsletter, but I thought it kinda fit here? Maybe a bit of a stretch but I'm not going to have time to make something else so I'll post it anyway
The idea is that a young girl is invited to a Halloween tea party, but all the other kids are actually the real deal and not just wearing costumes

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you!! I've always struggled with that!

@Miranda-Branley you're doing great

Jacy13 · 22 Oct 2020, 16:31

@Melanie-Ortins Oh, okay. Thank you so much!

Here is my finished entry for the October contest.
Had lots of fun with it, and learned a lot while in the process of making it. A huge thank you to everyone who helped me along the way!

Hi! This is my entry. I had a lot of fun! I wanted to push myself out into more characters, and their interactions, along with pushing gesture with shapes. I hope you like it.

However can someone help me -when I try to resize my canvas/image to upload it here, my image becomes very blurry. How can I get around this? I also had to scan so the image is not as it should be (value/pencil and colour) but I hope to get proper lights in the future.

Thanks,

Think I might be done on this one, thanks so much to those who helped me tweak it - think I managed to go with a warm/dark combined background! Loving what everyone is doing with this so far! I am a full svs learn member.

It was tough getting this and Inktober done, but here is my submission for this months contest. I had a lot of fun drawing this one.

Things didn’t go so well for the Pumpkin family.

@kimmypie This is great! Love all of their expressions.

Nyrryl Cadiz · 25 Oct 2020, 08:33

@Heather-Boyd i l0ve your colors, shapes, and textures in this one.

Nyrryl Cadiz · 25 Oct 2020, 08:41

@kimmypie hahaha!!!!

deborah Haagenson · 25 Oct 2020, 12:02

I just have to say, there are so many piecees that illustrate great stories this month! Really, really fun!!

Heather Boyd · 25 Oct 2020, 18:53

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you, I really appreciate it, I worked on like 6 colour studies, it was fun but oh so frustrating. The tangerine orange I used for the pumpkins and soup was continually breaking on me 3/4 the way through.

Nyrryl Cadiz · 25 Oct 2020, 18:54

@Heather-Boyd your work paid off

K.Flagg · 25 Oct 2020, 19:08

It's strange that it's the 25th and there are only 13 submissions so far. I know there are still a few WIP's out there that I can't wait to see finished, but where is everyone else? Come on people get those submissions in!
