        How cool! Thank you!! And interesting about the stripes. Maybe all those preppy stripes from the 80s were saying more than we thought! 😂

              Taking the SVS live classes has helped me get into the habit of thumbnails! It was tough at first (I could maybe do 5 in an hour then needed a break) but now I can doodle out at least 5 ideas in minutes! And my compositions are better for it.

              Nice work on the illustration! Thinking about value early on helped it become a strong piece. And it's great storytelling that the object causing the destruction is off-screen, gets my imagination going.

                @Neha-Rawat Thank you, Neha! There's all kinds of little tricks like that you could do with color! It's fun when you can pick up when a film maker is using color is a specific way. The movie Amelie is a great example. I think it was in that movie that whenever you saw something blue enter a scene something good was about to happen.

                Onwards,

                      @carriecopadraws Thats fantastic! It's exciting to hear about people's art break throughs 🙂

                      And thank you! I've definitely found more success when spending extra time in the planning phase.
