      @irwan I love the graphic quality to this, I think it's great. Maybe one bright colour, like bright yellow eyes, would have really lifted it.

        @SundayGirl76 Thank you for the feedback, that‘s a good idea, going to try that with colored eyes.

          @Dima-Eichhorn Thank you so much! 🙂 I used ink and pen and then scanned it and coloured the hair digitally as I felt a different texture might help it stand out from the background 🙂

            @SundayGirl76 Definitely read the book if you get the chance, it's wonderful, although I do love the movie too! I wrote my college thesis on the book so it has a special place in my heart! Thank you and thanks so much for the feedback, it's really appreciated! 🙂

              @inkandspatter Hahaha! Thanks, I feel like I kept building it up and then taking some out 🙂 Simple is better sometimes

                  Cover for czech tale "Dlouhý, široký a bystrozraký" by Karel Jaromír Erben, it has also other names:
                  "Long, Broad and Sharpsight"
                  "Longshanks, Girth, and Keen: The Story of Three Wonderful Serving Men"
                  or it is similar to "The Six Servants" by Grimm

                  It is about three servants helping prince with his quests of finding his enchanted princess (enchanted as an oak nut, gemstone and ring). Long can make himself very long, Broad can go very wide, Sharpsight can destroy rocks without his eye cover or he can see everything through his eye cover.

                                          Hi, all. Not sure if I'm reading the instructions correctly. I'm thinking that the type also has to be designed so I had to re-submit my effort. Here goes.

                                            I cheated on this one, I know! But only because I set 2 other challenges for my submissions (other than the month's topic). One being trying my hand at watercolor to get away from my comfort zone because I almost always work digitally, and the other one, turning this year's topics into a series of illustrations depicting 2 little brothers doing stuff together. I thought it was fun to share nevertheless 😶
