      I feel like that sometimes. I don’t do left turns. Get off my back people. I will go when I’m ready! Looks great/ I like the concept. Can’t wait to see her in color!

          This is looking really great, Chip! Cool take on the prompt--I like your feisty character! I do wish everyone would just chill out, slow down and have a little patience

            @whitney-simms I thought I was the only one who doesn’t do left turns. 😂 Me, you and UPS.

              Looking great. Thanks for sharing your process. Love the character and the one in the side mirror is a nice touch.

                Little background on this one, my oldest son gets his licences next week and that is him in the side mirror. Teen drivers are the worst LOL.

                Continue of step 5 of the local color and tweaked suggestion from @Jason-Bowen:

                Step 6 - color the ink darker then the rest of the local color:

                0_1542335554754_wip07.jpg

                Step 7 - add texture paper on top and set it to multiple.

                Onto the shadows and highlights, one of my favorite steps.

                  Here is the final with the lights and shadows added. I will sit on this till after Thanksgiving to see if i need to make any last minute tweaks before I submit it. Any crits are welcome.

                    Since there are more days left, I decided to paint this again in my original style. I will post that one as well and see what everyone prefers. I am undecided on which style to go with. Stay tuned...

                      So funny! My only suggestion would be maybe you could add a layer of mist or haze (or smoke if she’s in California 😑) between her and the tree/grass layer behind and that would reduce the values slightly on the background and allow your foreground objects to pop more. This is great though – I love the humor in your work!
