Snow Happens Bologna Fair Submission
-
Really nice work! There is so much to like. I too love the brown sky in the last image. Great characters.
-
Wow these are all so wonderful! And that last scene brings so much joy and happiness to me and I also love the dark sky tone you used as well. Good luck!!!
-
aww these are very cute! nicely done! I would make the boy head bigger on the 4th image, his different proportion really stands out for me.
-
@Lynn-Larson Thank you!!
It's a loooong shot and I'm pretty sure I fouled up the label system for the submission lol but it was a fun project. I may expand the story. -
@DanetteDraws Thanks Danette, you are so right about the color on the first spread and lack of detail. I did it last and I think it shows. The other spreads seem to mesh better. I'll adjust the color and add more detail to the house so it does not look so flat.
I work in Manga Studio 5 and scan in textures that I like and build my own brushes. I add texture to most of them. I also look for free use high res textures online too. I put texture on everything lol, I even add textures to my custom erasers. It's a bit overboard
-
@Rob-Smith Thank you Rob!
-
@Rich-Green Thanks Rich!
-
@Naroth-Kean Thanks Naroth, good eye..I'll adjust the head too and I just noticed a small inconsistency in the rug. I must not have drank enough caffeine
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! -
Your image a so cute, I love them.
Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

@Steve-Young Thanks so much, Steve!

These are awesome (as always!). I love your compositions and would love to see this printed and on the shelves!
The one thing about the characters (especially the boy) is the horizontal band of red going across their face. I like adding the rosy cheeks and nose, but it's just too even and looks like a stripe on them. Maybe break that shape up and lighten it just a tad. Don't want to make it look like they are hitting a few beers before going sledding! hehe!
Really great! love the work you are doing. : )
-
Wow @Lee-White thank you so much!! Your encouragement means a lot to me. I will definitely take your advice on the character's red faces! Though a few beers before sledding sounds like an awesome idea just not for a PB ;D! LOL
-
These are fantastic !.. the drawings just pull you into the story and you start feeling it right away - transported - great job!
-
@Kevin-Longueil That is very kind! Thanks so much..I am glad you enjoyed it
-
Wow! I'm a little late to comment on this, but I must say these are fantastic! I love how dynamic they are, the expressions, colors, everything!
There might be two things I would point out (keeping in mind that I am far from being a professional illustrator)
- I agree with the first image not fitting perfectly with the others... maybe it is the color, but I think it is mostly the contrats. Your darks aren't as dark as with the other images. I think you might have toned it down on purposed because of the snow, but I would still try it with a little more contrast
- On the third image, the feet of the little boy jumping on his father doesn't read very well, especially the one right around the neck. Maybe if you would push the leg out a little more to the side ?
But other than that, I just love it! I love the dad unshaven beard and I LOVE the cat!!!

@NoWayMe Thanks so much for your kind words! And thanks for the feedback about the color and his foot. I can make some adjustments on that to help it read better!
