AUGUST CONTEST: Dragonfly

@JDRpictures what a concept! That dragonfly is awesome too

@JDRpictures I could be massively wrong but it looks like a digital collage with scanned textures created with paint and lino print ink & roller. Beautiful image
-
I was inspired by my three boys who are in cub scouts to do this illustration. I can see this is a nonfiction nature book or magazine.

@carrieannebrown yes Carrie-Ann I’m kinda obsessed with textures. There is a watercolor paper texture in there that I made but other than that it’s all stock brushes in the procreate app. I appreciate the

I have been learning silently from SVSLearn. Here’s my first entry.
The front of my car has an embarrassing amount of smushed bugs on it. Sometimes they get lucky.

Uploading an image after seeing all the wonderful entries is daunting, but no risk, no reward, right??
-
For this one I made a little story involving my kids, so if nothing else, they'll be amused
Attempted traditional media for the characters; watercolour base and prismacolor pencils over the top in places. Tonnes of room for improvement but I enjoyed the experiment.

@JDRpictures sorry, I meant I think that's what Lee used in response to your question. Yours is really beautiful too! Not sure how you've managed to include so many colours but still make it look so cohesive.
-
@djlambson I love the color!
-
So much amazing work this month as always! I really enjoyed this prompt. Tried a completely different process this time.
-
This is my first time submitting to the context. 'dragonfly' was a great prompt - I am looking forward to seeing everyone's work
-
@Mara-Price Nice to hear..thank you!
-
Settled on this version of this one.
-
Oh man, am I ever not going to get butterflies when submitting work
This prompt was super fun and I had a great time coming up with a whole story for a little middle grade graphic novel. Except that wasn't the challenge! So I spent half the month on concept and a much shorter time on actual art. Oh well, I will for sure use the story stuff in the future, nothing is wasted!
-
EDIT uploaded my file again as I had uploaded the wrong one!
Wow! Each project is a completely different learning experience... I wish I'd had more time for this piece, but oh well, I had fun and did what I could in the little time I had! BTW, I love how different all the submitted designs are... so beautiful!
