@jenn Oh! It's Heidi! I love that book!
I love the second image and the close-up on the goat! Its eye seems a little high on its head, but I really dig the new perspective on the scene. The characters facing away and heading off the page capture the "hurry up!" feel!

@jessicalinnevans thank you so much! It is good to get positive feedback on the composition.

@aprilshin thank you!!

[andreazupcsan]

@ghostshipmatt thanks! I have to give credit to my husband for the bear. I originally just had the footprints and he gave me that “I’m not really sure what is happening or what I should be feeling” talk. I’m glad it paid off!

Progress is made! I wonder if coyotes are tasty... probably not.

[TessaW]

Poor coyote!!! I don't think they'd be very tasty if you ate them like that.

Who puts up the stars in the sky?
I started this for the November critique arena prompt "star" but was not able to finish it until now. Was fun trying working with mainly one color.

[Asyas_illos]

I’ve been working on my November prompt star since I missed out and needed something to do, but I just loved how these mermaids came out! So I divided the illustration Into three individuals.

[ambiirae]

Is there a December contest? Did I miss it some where?

[Julia Hegetusch]

@asyas_illos love your colours

[Frogpunzel]

@ambiirae If I remember right, the next prompt will come out in January. There is not one for December.

[Asyas_illos]

@moana-maureen thanks I was worried they were a bit dark

[Asyas_illos]

@ambiirae I think because they are continuing the allstars arena every year it takes place of a December prompt.

[aprilshin]

@tessaw Holy moly, Tessa, this is amazing!!!

[TessaW]

@aprilshin Aw, thanks!!!

[braden H]

Work progresses! Milton's totally gonna get eaten!

[Asyas_illos]

I have been really pushing myself with textures and letting go of hard line work and edges and it feels really good! I used to struggle with details and control but I’m much prouder of my work now than I was before!

[lpetiti]

I’ve been struggling a lot with depression and anxiety about my art. Today is the first day in a month and a half that I’ve been able to draw.

[Asyas_illos]

@lpetiti it’s lovely️ You’re not alone with your struggles, I think it was close to eight months before I started again. Actually my mother in law bought the year subscription for me for Christmas, a week or so ago, that’s when I finally felt some motivation to create art. my anxiety and depression aren’t solely from my art but it doesn’t help that’s for sure, I feel ya.
