Hi everyone! I’m starting a new illustration. This piece is about guava picking. We used to do this a lot when I was younger. I’ve decided to experiment with the eyes on this one. I’ve always found dot eyes to be appealling. Now, i’m revisiting my first love. LOL! stay tuned

Update!

Cute! You can't go wrong with dot eyes. The gestures are turning out great. Guava picking was also a past time of mine.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I love tryin' to teach kids how to dance the tinikling (how to tinikl?) You captured the moment between 'clacks' perfectly

@Braden-Hallett Thank you! Lol the dance’s actual name is Tinikling not tinikl. I’m happy you like the scene but I kinda feel like the m0vement is lost a bit. I didn’t know how to show the clacking of the bamboo or the speed of the dancers. I was hoping for some thing like this:

Oh, well.. finished not perfect I guess.

I think it’s so great that your palnning to teach it to your students. Tinikling is actually the national dance of the Philippines. It’s a fun, casual dance good for everybody just be sure your feet don’t get caught by those sticks. But that’s the fun of it.

Also, to all of you curious people out there. Here are links to Tinikling videos on youtube.
