June Contest: Post Crit Arena Updates.

@Coley I haven't seen Will's watercolor class but it sounds like you're talking about blend modes. Sorry if this is old hat. Thought I'd show a couple quick screenshots. That box that says "Normal" is where you can find blend modes and I just show what it looks like off, normal mode, and set to overlay. And when I am painting this, I have the watercolor texture on from the start.

@dafoota @Jeremy-Ross Sorry to hear. I haven't checked if the stream is up on svs' site, but last I checked you could view it on their facebook page in full. Hope that helps!

@Norman-Morana thank you. I enjoy your piece and even more you tenacity to go back and bend it to your will. Great stuff!
-
Very helpful @Norman-Morana! Much appreciated!
-
I love the extra storytelling of seeing the orange tree in the periscope!
I don't mind it flipped as it leads me to the text and feels natural with reading left to right, but i thin either way is fine. Looks great!

@Norman-Morana that's what Lee does fir textures I think? Will does something else that is a lot more complicated lol. I'll probably stick with Lee's version

Yes, nice job putting in the effort to take in the feedback & rework the illustration.
I'd like to see more evidence that the alligator is a machine. That was something that wasn't very clear--for sure--to me.
I really like your drawing style, color scheme, and textures!

@Norman-Morana Your original piece is so good. I do like it flipped too but it is also perfect the way it is to me. I don't mind the lantern on the other side of the the belly away from the little monkey - i feel like it works better compositionally over there and the textures you have going on around it in the original are awesome..also it seems to be illuminating the text to me. I remember Will and Lee really liking the piece.

Thank you! @Kevin-Longueil yeah this illustration is in kind of a tough place right now. Everything is subjective at this point and it’s difficult to know what to settle on, haha.
