SCBWI June draw this 'camp'

[braden H]

Gonna put this one away for a few days then do some fiddling before submitting I'm generally happy with it, though.

@Braden-Hallett

I like the glow lighting you’ve created, I find it very cozy and warm and good memories created.

[NelsonYiap]

@Braden-Hallett Thank you! Ah your illustration looks really awesome! Great lighting

[braden H]

@Heather-Boyd Thanks! Warm and cozy was definitely what I was goin' for.

@Braden-Hallett Love this. I really like how the rain on the window came out. Very smooth.

[braden H]

@theprairiefox Thanks! I like the way the window came out, too. I've got a bit more fiddling to make it really windowy, (water streak over the loggy bits 'n such) but it's definitely in ballpark.

[theprairiefox]

@Braden-Hallett Hopefully have mine up later today or tomorrow. I am doing it as a woodcut (on the GlowForge) with watercolor added. We will see if I can pull it off.

[theprairiefox]

Here is my full inks done and a picture of my plate. I don't have time to print tonight so I will have to do it tomorrow. Let me know what you think, I was trying to get the values well represented in B&W. I think they came out okay. There will be a few of the light values really differentiated through watercolor.

[braden H]

@theprairiefox Nice! I think that'll look neat in watercolours. I'm always jealous of print makers. I don't have the patience to do that kind of art

[braden H]

@theprairiefox I just reread the 'on the glowforge' bit. I gotta buy myself one of those

[theprairiefox]

@Braden-Hallett yeah, the GlowForge is cool. I take and scan my inks in into Inkscape and then send it to the GlowForge to cut the plate. I am planning on printing that in black (or maybe a dark sepia). Then the ink that is printed repels the watercolor so they work well together.

I would love to get to the point that I can do stuff like Ashley Wolff... I am pretty sure she is using lino cuts and the color is done with watercolor. I am not that good, yet!

@theprairiefox Reminds me of good printing days -always loved carved lino plate even as I stabbed myself, lols. I like how you have progressed .

[theprairiefox]

@Heather-Boyd my carving set has band-aids in it for a reason! I have bled myself as well...

[braden H]

Tweaked some shadows. Added some more rain streaks. played with some adjustment layers. I think it's finished enough for finished

[Erin.Cortese]

@Braden-Hallett This looks really great! I think you could push the rain streaks even further.

[braden H]

@Erin-Cortese Thanks! I'll definitely fiddle with the rain streaks

[MichaelaH]

@Braden-Hallett It looks really cool, such great work in movement and light and shadow game...

[theprairiefox]

@Braden-Hallett looking very good.

[theprairiefox]

I am getting close to mine. I printed it, scanned the print in and added color to it in Inkscape. Let me know what you think of the colors and the feel.

[braden H]

@theprairiefox You get a really nice woodcutty feel even though it's laser etched! Very cool.
