      I love your color palettes. I like the bright happy airy felling of A but can see C working into the story that she is well camouflaged from above (a bird snack?)

          @carlianne Haha! You know I liked 4 the first time around, but now I like C. It's all about the contrast. I might intensify one color, though. Perhaps the green.

            Not really for the contest but I wanted to practice drawing her and also wanted to practice doing some lighting

                  @carlianne This is so cute! I have a suggestion (I've not tried it before because I literally just thought of it)

                  I can see you've used an overlay texture on the whole image and it's looking great! Maybe just to make it look a teeny bit better, try creating a mask of the texture for each element (background, leaves, flower, fairy) in a different orientation so that it's not obvious to the view that you've just applied a short cut overall texture.

                        I love it!! I think this iteration shifted it into another gear altogether.

                              Love the painterly style and how the lighting is working. Great textures.

                                Okay working on the poses

                                To flush out my story idea, my idea is that she lives in a village that is under siege by frogs, and she's been sent to find repellants (lemons from the lemon tree) but she has to travel through frog territory to get there (the pond).

                                  @carlianne Beautiful illo.Also the layout sketch is nice. An idea if you want it 🙂 Maybe add a close up of her looking at a lemon tree picture ,so she can recognize it once she looks at it at real life (indicating that it is her first time stepping out of her village and she had not seen a lemon tree yet in her life)
                                  Just my 2 cents!!!
                                  Keep it up, the character is beautiful!

                                    Just refining and cleaning up, would love to know if that cast shadow in the bottom right is working

                                      Looks great! I think the shadow is a nice touch since it draws your eye back toward the center.

                                            I wasn't feeling happy with the shadow, so I swapped out the pose and made some other changes, just trying to nail this down before I paint later
