So I finished and posted on "LOVE" Contest. Later this week I will post smaller process -it was far more scattered than I'd like but I learned an impressive amount. And I will update you on what I learned at that point. I spelt February wrong and realised that my snow was too yellow. So I made small changes.

I am very happy with it and look forward to working it into a personal style, with some more experimenting and line practise (lols).

Done Done Done. But still feedback or advice for the future and how to layout a pattern collection would be awesome. Really, any feedback on the entire thing together is great too. Any element missing? More darks, more blinders, more contrast. Any words are appreciated.

@Braden-Hallett maybe that kid just likes to be the center of attention 😛

Great paint over, @nyrrylcadiz!
That is exactly what I was thinking and suggesting in my comment.
It looks great.

@djly thanks!

Very cute characters. I actually enjoyed the little stylized hearts hearts between them from your original. I agree they do not look like they are standing on the same plane. The male's feet do not line up with the females. Maybe you could move him down?

Hi everyone. I listened to the “how to get 10k followers” video and decided to work on my first giveaway. Gonna order a bunch of postcards (once this is done) and send them out to people for free. Inspiration for this came from Terry Pratchettes “The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents”. There is also a Terry Pratchett calendar that publishes art from various artists yearly, gonna look into that some more.

This is gonna be inked on paper then colored.

@nyrrylcadiz Thank you! That is so sweet of you. ^ - ^
I keep trying to remind myself of that.

@SCBenedict Great concept!

@robgale Wow, I love this one. I love sketchy graphite work. This guy is a dapper gent but something about his expression gives me the feeling that he is not completely trustworthy. Compelling image.

Thanks for everyone’s input! Here’s a new colored version I’ve been working on. Suggestions welcome!

I can see the difference in both. I know you are still working on it, but i would make the wings stand out some more. They sorta get lost up in the sky. Its a really cute town concept you have.

Hows that looking? Anyone see something to improve? 😃

@rotub i would exaggerate the cake a bit more, if they gonna feast on a cake, give them a cake! Embeleish it! I’d also add some things around the restaurant maybe some valentines day things like hearts and stuff, perhaps a couple in the back being escorted to their table by a waiter and they’re staring at the cake to fill that empty space? The only thing that told me the other diners are on a date were the romantic candles. Theres a lot of negative space up above the scene too.

@lisanganart yeah no problem! This is very cute

Wow good job Maciek! So much talent! Your parents must be so proud! Keep going and don't give up!

@xin-li dang it! I always do that. I will see if I can shift it around some so I’m not bisecting the canvas. Thank you!

@Debra-Garcia good idea! Thanks 😊

@Chip-Valecek aw shucks. Thank you!

Thanks @Kevin-Longueil yeah, Bernie Wrightson is awesome especially his Frankenstein work (I think I read he did those over a 10 year period)

Here's some pig sketches from today. Pig-sketches.jpg

It is looking great!
