September prompt WIP. Feedback always welcome :)

[braden H]

Phew! Ready for inks! I think I'm happy with the variety of kids and poses.

[Erin.Cortese]

@Braden-Hallett In loooove with this composition! It is so much fun!

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett yes this is totally awesome!

[braden H]

@Erin-Cortese @Coley Thanks! I never know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that no one's finding any problems :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[braden H]

Inking begins! SO MUCH INKING!

In fact so much colouring.

I'm hoping to have inks done tomorrow and then paint over the weekend

If all else fails, I can turn it in as black and white :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

[KathrynAdebayo]

Braden, this is so funny and amazing! I’d double check the steering wheel lining up with the orientation of the bus. Can’t wait to see this progress... I could look at all the details for hours.

[braden H]

@KathrynAdebayo AHA!

I knew there was somethin' buggin' me about the bus driver!

I will totally fix that. Thank you

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett ha ha, it's a good thing! I'm totally entranced by it and can't stop looking at it

[ArtofAleksey]

Profile drawing! Great idea. I love that it’s also not in a classroom setting.

[braden H]

@Aleksey And the 'she' is not a student

I'm happier with the profile perspective than I thought I'd be. The right tool for the right job I guess

[braden H]

@Coley well that's good, then

[chrisaakins]

@Braden-Hallett you are such a pro at this. You have consistently turned out excellent entries month after month. And yet you are our biggest cheerleader. A nice combo of know how and encouraging words. Have you thought about a career in teaching? You seem like you would be great at it.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Braden-Hallett brilliant

[braden H]

@chrisaakins Thanks, man I was a substitute teacher for a couple years, actually.

I'm not gonna get into the exact reasons why I quit, but with the way the BC education system is going I'm glad I got out when I did, lol

BUT ANYHOO I'm happy doin' this thing for a while

[braden H]

Haven't fixed the steerin' wheel yet. This one's gonna be down to the friggin' wire :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Braden-Hallett the inking alone is already amazing!

[Phil Cullen]

This is looking so freakin cool, nice work!

[Dima Eichhorn]

@Braden-Hallett Great work as always.

[braden H]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz @Phil-Cullen @Dima-Eichhorn Thanks guys
