update! So far, this is my only piece that I'm closest to finishing. it feels good to have that sense of accomplishment.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz update almost done.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Did you replaced the dad so all the characters in the composition are interacting with each other?

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Michael-Angelo-Go yup. he just seemed detached from the kids.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Almost there! i've reached my most dreaded stage, painting in the water splashes.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Almost done with this one. I still have a few bits to fix but almost there. I turned it to a square because I'll place it on the right full page as shown below.

This is my catalog spread last year. Sparse.

Edit: i just noticed after a full year, THEY GOT MY NAME WRONG!!!!!!!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz The bear one is so cute! I love the colors! I know you still have some work left in this but I'm mentioning my 2 cents here anyway in case it saves you time.

• The girl bear is missing a leg (unless it'll be covered with water splash)
• Little details like overlapping grass blades on the picnic basket and the mama bear's feet look good
• How about tiny eye lashes or flower in the head for the mama bear? It'll make the character easier to read.

I'm loving how you've done the trees and the flow of the cloth.

@Neha-Rawat hi, Neha! Ah yes, I still haven’t added the leg on the girl bear. It’s coming in soon when I find time again. I like the idea of adding a flower the mom bear’s head. I’ll do that. ️

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

hi guys! I just finished this one.

[Neha Rawat]

@NessIllustration OooOoo lovely! The water splash is spot on! And good decision about flipping it as well!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Wow @Nyrryl-Cadiz I cannot believe you did this in just 15 days!!! Crazy good haha. Looking forward to seeing your Medusa finished.

Learned a lot about agents from reading this thread. I might make this a prompt list for next year. It would be fun to compare notes with you after haha.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

90% there!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

DONE!

I'll have to paint the rest of the scene later but for now, the square part is alread complete.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@donnamakesart hi! Thank you! I’m very happy You find this thread helpful. Feel free to shoot me a message when you want to compare notes.

[donnamakesart]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz awesome. I love the textures in your works haha. It’s something I struggle with.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@donnamakesart thanks. My textures aren’t really that complex tho. I just alternate between 3 basic dry brushes to paint my pieces

new sketch. This time it's Christmas. the story is that Santa's reindeers were injured while in route so the kids lend their pets to Santa for the night.
