OCTOBER CONTEST: Everyone was having a great time at the Halloween feast until...

eriberart · 22 Oct 2020, 10:27

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

@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!

mamadraw · 25 Oct 2020, 20:01

@K-Flagg I thought that too - I wonder if people are busy with Inktober? Hopefully there will be a load towards the deadline, it's a fun prompt!
