Trick or Treat! Have a candy apple, my sweet! Day 1!0_1538447241794_INKTOBER2018 DAY1.jpg

Honestly don't know much about the movie, but I love the light and shadow!

FROG PEOPLE... stay away from them they're poisonous! Do you know someone like this?
I made a story based on the official prompts. I will be working on the storyboard during Inktober and I will color it shortly after.

@TessaW @aska @Chip-Valecek @NessIllustration @CaroStoltz oh wow so many replies! Thank you guys for taking the time to look and answer!

@burvantill Thank you! That's a great suggestion, I'll try some value changes 👍

@Branden-Brushett @Eli Thank you! I'm glad the flowers worked as a frame rather than swallowing her up lol

@Dan-Tavis Thank you! Someone else also suggested that the flowers be gold instead of pink. I may try that to see if it works 😃

With inktober upon us I may have to put aside the suggestions for now but I promise I'll work on it afterwards! You guys are awesome!

@nyrrylcadiz Sorry I JUST saw this! But I do think you improved it with the tweak you did. I'm definitely not an expert, but now that the leaves are a bit more contrasted and the main girl is less contrasted, it pops more while still maintaining the glow. Just lovely!

@nessillustration Thanks so much for your nice comments and suggestions. I'll will revisit my piece and see if I can improve it before the deadline. Hope folks don't mind that I've been revising my piece after submitting it to the contest thread.

@art-of-b this is looking amazing! My one comment is the lighting of the trees in the distance. it’s as if the sun is directly hitting them even though the overall lighting does not suggest that. I don’t know if you’re still working on this though. But if you choose to have an afternoon lighting and bathe everything in a yellowish/orange light, that would be amazing. I hope this helps.

@robgale Yes that's what I think as well, although I'm wondering if it could be useful on background textures / elements that can be lit differently and reused in scenes as well :-). It has different applications- it's mainly used for 2d games and animation which might require dynamic lighting conditions.
@Zombie-Rhythm thanks 🙂

@debra-garcia
Oh man! That struggle is real!
Glad you found your paces again - loving how that leaf is starting to pop.

@Eli thank you! I am already made a post!
But thank you one more time for your advance) appreciate!

Lovely piece! If you haven't done so, please enter this into the contest thread, or you wont be in the competition!

@chip-valecek , love how it turned out. Especially the light coming through the trees!

I like number 2 the best, the colors are fabulous!

@tessaw Texture and colours on your piece have a lovely warm feeling 🙂

wow! beautiful background and cool charaters 🙂

@zombie-rhythm thanks😃 maybe it’s not a winter, maybe it’s a fresh and cold spring stream?)

@naters-calderone thank you! Of course, I will be glad hear criticism)

I like the mirror suggestion. Pretend there is something tiny on your own index finger and take a picture of yourself looking at it. I do mirror and picture references of myself for expressions because I know what feeling im trying to convey. Drawing it out lightly and slowly lets me build on the idea gradually without committing to anything. That is my approach though.

@nyrrylcadiz I gessoed over a map. Painted abstactly with water color. Drew with pencils, charcoal and prisma colors. I kind of let the background dictate the image. It reminded me of a war scene so I went with it.
