Hi Everyone, I am new to to SVS and digital painting. Here is my entry for the February Octopus Contest.
It is my first full digital painting, so I would love someone to critique it.

@bdyanne I think we all feel discouraged at times. It's part of the growing process This is a cute idea. I remember walking in the rain and looking down at th epuddles and feeling liek I was looking into another world That's what this makes me think of.

You can make all sorts of interesting things out of spare engine components.

@late2theparty Very nice. I like the sparkle on the ring, the gloss of the pearl bracelet, the reflection in the glass, the expression of the little guys ... so many details.

@artwithashley Nice vertical take on the subject. Love the bubbles, including the popped ones. Is this done in watercolor and digital?

[Maureen]

@kellyjeangillow I love the looseness and the power of it all!

@gary-wilkinson -Thanks!! I knew I wanted to do a long vertical representation but I didn't think about a phone case. That would be so fun! (PS. I'm loving watching your process for this month's contest. I can't wait to see your final!)

@josegalue25 - Thank you so much! Love the drippy water and deep colors in your piece.

@maureen - Hey thanks! It was done digitally with watercolor overlays. Those pesky bubbles were a bit tricky to figure out, so thanks for the comment!!
