  What about @Lee-White choosing top 10 or some number and then everyone voting on those ones?

  @Lee-White Yes, thanks for writing. I saw the email this past week. Sadly (happily?), I've got a deadline to finish final artwork for a PB by end May. I don't think I can spare the time. Will it be available afterward to members?

  @Lee-White Thanks for posting this Lee. Do you have any examples of what a good visual development portfolio would look like? Ive alway been curious about that.

  @TessaW, Thank you! Yes, I thought someone else would have the same idea, too. When I came to see what everyone else had done, and didn't see it (there are some similar ones, though)—I decided to go ahead with it, and try out a wash using ink pencils. It's always great to see all the different styles and concepts produced for the same prompt.

  @xin-li What a great idea to use one of your Inktober drawings for Slowvember! Ever since I first heard about Slowvember on the podcast months ago, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to find a piece I’d like to work on for the month. Unfortunately, creativity doesn’t work that way for me. But like your idea about Inktober. I participated in Inktober for 3 years now so I’ll dig into my archives and see if anything sparks up.

  @Lee-White - what a great question "what's the MAIN color cast of this image?" that you've suggested to help keep things under control. Have attached the original image & the updated image - not intended for you to critique, just to show there does seem to be an improvement on overall color harmony from my view after trying the methods you advised – thank you! Stress levels lower too! And after sampling & stealing some other artists’ colors (this is fun to do too) - realized that my image has fundamental issues in the drawing & value areas that pretty colors can’t hide/fix. Yes! – have been enjoying seeing your low contrast paintings – thought them intriguing, like someone whispering instead of shouting

  @DKRyland This is really good. I love the texture and the simplicity (uncluttered composition) of your work!
