@thomas-young I like your style

@Jason-Crowley ...Such a lovely illustration. I really get the sense that he lives here and the lignting/composition/focal point is nicely done (and jaws)

[JennyJones]

@AustinShurtliff I know I should know the answer already. Does May 1st mean 12 am May 1st, or does it mean by 11:59 pm on May 1st?

Ok, I wanted to participate in this since I've started lurking in here but I somehow didn't realize that May is almost here and silly me wanted to attempt a double spread in like three days Simply, it's not finished but I'd like to share it anyways. I enjoyed working on it, I'm quite proud of my work on it so far, it's my first time doing a double spread and although not finished and polished I managed to get it to... let's say somewhat presentable level at least I will finish it later. It was a challenge I will definitely make sure to start much earlier next time

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Apologies for the double post -- this is the file I'd like to submit. This was done in colored pencil, pen, and gouache with some digital edits. Looking forward to feedback -- thanks!

Hi, I wanted to make an image from a world of characters I drew for Inktober some years ago. Making a color illustration was a great challenge and fun!

@Norman-Morana
For the record, I just reminded myself of your previous submissions and one of favs over the years is your”Sprout” submission. Made me laugh:)

Hi everyone! This is my first time participating in HTFYA. I really loved this month’s theme and how open-ended it was. I was a bit late to getting started on this one, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to receiving feedback on it!

[Sarah VanDam]

@MarcRobinson Oh my goodness, this IDEA!! Hilarious! This is golden, and the rougher style really suits it.

[Norman Morana]

@Larue haha, oh that is too funny that you remember that one. I had a lot of fun with that one lol
