@Blitz55 they look so so cool!

Thank you! I'm really liking them as well. Always good when you like what you're creating haha. Sometimes it's more of a struggle to get there.

Nearly all of my creative time and energy this month was used creating a sketch style animation project at the day job. These are some of my favorite types of projects to work on because after we work with our client (an adoption agency in this case) to create the script, I'm left with a ton of freedom to art direct, illustrate, and animate the video on my own. Here are some of my favorite screenshots from this project:

But I did have just enough free time to contribute a painting to my favorite local gallery's annual fundraiser.

Extra fun fact: my wife painted the two on the right side of the gallery shot (unfortunately, I don't know the artist who specializes in depicting cats at war)!

Last day of February already! Time flies

@ArtistErin Thank you, Erin! ️

@Mia-Clarke This is terrific! LOVE the characters. Query about the typesetting of the 'recipe'. Did you deliberately want the letters to be tangled up together? There's a distinct chance you did. If so, ignore this next bit! If not, I'd experiment with adding a tiny bit more space between lines and even between some letters. e.g. second last line has 'it's' but the apostrophe looks like an errant comma between a and knob so you might want to bring it down a bit. Second para, 2nd and 3rd lines parsley and of are entangled. These are just some examples.

@Jean-Watson To be honest, I was close to throwing my ipad out the window when typesetting this. I love procreate, but it's clearly not a text tool (or maybe I'm just doing it wrong...). Thank you for the pointers, I'll definetely fix the text, and especially that apostrophe. 🫶

@Mimi-Simon I really like your style the crayon coloring, the mix of 2D and 3D, it is just great!

[Jean Watson]

@Mia-Clarke I'm sure it can be done! I'm only familiar with Adobe - with that it would be using the character panel to adjust the leading between lines, kerning - space between characters - plus baseline shift for the apostrophe. Wonder if procreate has something similar?

@Asyas_illos Ha! Love it!

WIP Sandcastle contest... Hoping this story makes sense and if I need to adjust anything? Making pieces for portfolio. This was reviewed in the Creative Lab with Aram Kim in the "Creating Picture Books That Soar" intensive in the SCWBI conference last weekend. Aram suggested I add in more color as in a beach scene. I am not sure how to do that without it becoming too busy! Any thoughts?
