Riley, Riley, Riley…

@lauraa thank you for your feedback! I will have to consider these, I think the chest in the garage actually could use a little less perspective now that I look at it, maybe I’ll tweak both. I know, I have been trying to figure out how to crop it without losing to much of 50s feel, so that Riley gets more attention. Ugh! Yes easier said than done!
-
Oh my god you guys I’m losing it with this one! I screwed with the og one so much I ended up erasing much of it. So I don’t know what the hell im doing now… I have other ideas I’ve been kicking around so I might focus on those and come back to this when I’m less pissed off

@asyas_illos
Working on something else for a little bit will help you come back refreshed. Take a short break, draw something you love, and then come back. -
Ok I cooled off and salvaged the og, just thinking maybe I lose the girls and have Riley riding out.
-
Well my problem now is that it no longer looks like a pedal car from this angle, just looks like a tiny car. I’m thinking adding a flyer announcing a derby? I don’t know why I’m struggling so much with this, but I have to finish at least one entry especially since I’m having such a hard time with it!
-
Made some progress and feeling a little better about it

@asyas_illos one thing that I find a bit confusing, is the Riley’s Garage. To me, that would imply that the man in the bottom right is Riley. I love where you’re going with it, and I know you’re struggling with the prompt, but you’ve got great skills, and I know you can pull this one off. Is there anyway I see Riley’s face? I preferred when he was just rolling out of the garage, because you could see his expression.
-
I really like the color choices. The placement of the pops of yellow lead your eye to the car. I also like the overlapping building shapes that carry you into the space. Overlapping objects are a great way to create depth. Nice work!
-
@angelinakizz I liked his expression before too, I can’t seem to find that balance of Riley to car ratio lol. And my thing with Riley’s garage is that in the 50s it was common to have Riley senior and junior. I will think about Riley juniors position and see I can find something that works. @ThomCharles Thank you!
-
@asyas_illos Maybe make him a license plate for his little car that says Riley Jr? That would be fun! I love being able to see your process with this. It really has helped me! Thank you for sharing.

@lisa-clark that’s a great idea thank you, yes it’s a bit humbling after whipping out so many last month!
-
Ok y’all I’m done with this one, not sure I’ll do another for the prompt, seeing how I fought myself so much. I may start jumping into next months…
-
Well I never go down without a fight, yes, I’m an Aries, hahaha! Anyway I was reading Strega Nona to my youngest the other day and it totally inspired me to get going on a second Riley believe it or not! I thought I didn’t want anything else more to do with this prompt, but that little devil on my shoulder had other plans, so here she is, her past-a-matic works a little too well
-
What a difference it makes, when you actually feel inspired, huh?
-
@asyas_illos oh this one is sooooo cute! And we love Strega Nona here too.
-
@angelinakizz thank you, oh to be inspired…
-
Getting some color down
️
-
Ok shadows or no shadows? Or just simpler shadows?…
-
-
@asyas_illos I think #3 (the version with light shadows) looks best.
