FEBRUARY CONTEST: YETI COOKING

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Gabby-Correia I just joined a couple weeks ago and barely made it in time for the Yeti Home contest - so I hadn't made the December Yeti image. I'm planning to keep this drawing in the same format/style so they will work together ;).

[LisaF]

Just to clarify: don't worry if you haven't submitted in the previous Yeti contests, you can still do this prompt! Just treat it as if it's a stand alone prompt.

So, if you don't already have a Yeti character, just create one. And by the same token, if you already created a Yeti character, but would like to change it, go right ahead!

We thought it would be fun to give you the option to create all the makings of a children's book, but it's not a requirement

@Gabby-Correia Prolly not since mine didn't even make it in the 16.

[LisaF]

OMG!! We totally forgot to mention that this is supposed to be a SPOT ILLUSTRATION Sorry we missed that bit!

Spot illustrations are small, simple illustrations that highlight a moment in a story, usually without a full background. They are meant to break up text and add visual interest to a page.

We'll be getting to full page spreads later on!

@LisaF well that makes a difference...hmm I'm not sure how I want to approach this prompt now lol.

[Griffin McPherson]

@LisaF if that’s the case then @Chip-Valecek might want to edit the post to add that in so people don’t miss it

[Asyas_illos]

I like that it’s a spot illustration!

[chrisaakins]

@LisaF Can we maybe have @Chip-Valecek edit the original post to reflect both your comments? That might keep some who might not read everything still have the prompt correct.

[chrisaakins]

@Griffin great minds. I just posted the same things only slower! Haha!

[Kevin Longueil]

@chrisaakins @Griffin @LisaF @Chip-Valecek - was thinking the same thing - i went ahead and edited the post (hope you don't mind Chip) feel free to change it

[Chip Valecek]

@Kevin-Longueil Thank You!!!

[Heather Boyd]

@LisaF I have been doing spot illustrations so I'll pass on this one. Is there a vignette in the works? Then I might start to plan a design for a yeti, since I haven't participated as of yet.

[Heather Boyd]

@K-Flagg lols I have too many spot illustrations in my portfolio so I am passing but I am sure you could make something, just simplify and make sure all the important parts of your story is in it. I hope you change your mind.

[K.Flagg]

@Heather-Boyd lol I didn't realized I was missing a word in my post (which totally made the context seem negative ). I meant to say I'm not sure HOW I want to approach this now. lol sorry if I sounded like a jerk, I am working on my entry now.

[KaraDaniel]

@Heather-Boyd just curious what's the difference between a spot illustration and a vignette?

[Casual-T]

@KaraDaniel said in FEBRUARY CONTEST: YETI COOKING:

...what's the difference between a spot illustration and a vignette?

As far as I understand it a spot illustration is a small free-floating image of a particular object or character, usually without a background, sometimes with defined borders around the image, whereas a vignette does have a background, but the image border is faded or only loosely defined.

[Gabby Correia]

@dafoota No worries...neither did mine

[robbery]

Is it o.k to add or/and change a couple of words in the text as long as it has the same gist? Or is the text that Will Terry gave set in stone?

[sigross]

@LisaF I've only just nearly finished the first Yeti challenge! I don't think anyone would hire me to illustrate a whole book

[SheerArt]

Pretty excited about this! New to the forum and working on my drawing. I am excited to see what y'all come up with.
