Fart Cloud

[susanhowarth.art]

@ArtistErin It looks a lot better! I like that the room isn’t so dark, the floor is more defined, and it works better without the girl. (Although she was very cute - maybe she could be used in something else!)

My personal preference is not to have the character in the cloud. I think it takes away from the mood/style of the piece.

@ArtistErin looks way better this way. Much more cohesive!

@ArtistErin it is much better in terms of light and composition but I feel the fart cloud doesn't read as fart or cloud because of the face. If I didn't know the prompt I would have thought that dad's soul is flying away or something like that... which makes it a bit more sinister than intended.

@ArtistErin Oh, I really like what you did with the cloud now! And the character in it is really funny, though I agree with the fact it confuses a bit the subject. maybe you can reuse him as a genie in the lamp thing

@ArtistErin Love to see your progress, when i first saw your picture, the first attempt (and i am seeing way to many horror movies) it felt like kids sitting in a basement, where the girl is affraid and the boy just disgusted.

i guess you could putt in some light background/Shapes of stuff. But you made a great progress so far!
I bett you kan still push it a little bit more, but if you feel it's finished, just follow your itch for a new piece.

@von_Nimmermehr I actually started out with a full background with a chair and mom sitting in it making a sour face, but took it out because it felt busy, and I am trying to simplify... however I see other art that has a ton of elements in the piece and somehow they make it look good. I'll keep at it, learning... it's so worth it when stuff starts coming together! Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it.

@ArtMelC I took out the face on the fart cloud and I like it much better thank you! Sent it to my daughter and she "got it" right away so that was enough for me to go with it. I could keep tweaking this but I am eager to get started on something new... Thank you for your feedback, that was very helpful!

[ArtistErin]

@Oana Ha ha ha! I love it.

[ArtistErin]

@Asyas_illos Thank you! It's interesting how the process from thumbnail to full color is such a learning process. I really appreciate everyone's feedback. Now on to another piece...

[ArtistErin]

@susanhowarth-art Thank you! LOL I took the face out of the cloud... it looked too sinister not mischievous like I intended. I used to wish I had my own personal genie! I'll keep that in mind
