NOVEMBER COMPETITION TOPIC: SLOW
-
@sarah-luann i love your wood engraving-esqe looking on this piece. Plus the colors really emphasize the mood.
-
@nyrrylcadiz I'm glad you got your piece posted, Nyrryl! I was watching for it.
Yes, it's just pencil done traditionally. I tweaked the colors on the computer, which interestingly helped me see where it seems like I could improve the contrast of some of the values (next time I try this style). Always learning! -
@kathrynadebayo I love what you did. I also did pencil shading a bit last year. I just loved the texture. After I’d shade the drawing tradionally, I would then scan and color it digitally. I like the effect. It’s just took too much time for me though. Lol... That’s why I’m really drawn to your piece.
-
@whitney-simms Thank you! I am returning to illustration after a long hiatus, so it is very confidence building to hear that someone likes my work. (however, seeing it onscreen, I'm aware of all the hard edges that I wish were softer). Ego Ally is absolutely charming. Lovely choice of color palette.
-
@nyrrylcadiz thank you for your kind words. (as I have not yet figured out how to paint digitally I will admire your work with the same regard.)
-
@eli Thank you so much! I had thought about how to include the bottle of poison as a foreshadowing of what is to come in the story...but I couldn't decide where to put it in...
-
@artwithashley I love this! It’s so pretty and your snowmen are adorable. Nice to see someone else doing illustration with cut paper!
-
@pamela-fraley - Your work is always so beautiful!! It was my first cut paper project, and totally experimental. On a side note how are you and your family. I noticed that you live in Alaska, did you guys have much damage where you are?
-
@artwithashley Thank you! The earthquake was scary for sure, but we are all safe and had no damage to the house at all. We live on the Kenai peninsula (south of Anchorage) so we didn't get hit as badly, but our town was evacuated up the hill for a few hours because we are right on the water in the tsunami threat area.

@eli Thanks! Made for fun researching.
