  Hi @NicholeMarie, I'm also a graphic designer, I was in your position about 3 years ago when I was trying to improve my illustration skills. Would I buy this piece? I don't know about a print but a coffee mug? sure! I agree with @NessIllustration better planning on your illustration helps a lot. Once I hit the pose I'm going to draw I usually do it 2-3 times over just to get the linework as smooth as possible. Then, I proceed with color. I would suggest a richer color palette for this piece. I know it might be overwhelming to put your art out there to get some feedback. But this is part of the process and a very important one. Feel free to show us more pieces.

  And here I add some filters and tones. I rather like it. I would definitely read a comic that had this kind of rendering.

  Definitely a strong foreground. I do pretty everything digitally so the fact that you've just gone for it in your sketchbook impresses me!

  Re: New Slowvember Update OK. I've been working this side of my concept now all week, only to release that I like the first 3 concepts met my personal brief for my Slovember piece. Today I came across some notes I asked myself before I started the project, detailing the main idea, my purpose, etc. It was somewhat of a reality check. This is a pretty picture, but the other images conveys the message I wanted. So I think I'm ready to move on from Slovember and start on my next portfolio piece. I added some Caldecott fun after listening to 3 Point Perspective.

  Thanks for the help @LauraA . The plan is to work these out and then decide which message is more clear. The first set of finishes I completed with the girl in the center or this set with the girl arriving at the glass mountain. So many decisions scrambling in my head.

  @Jennyann Neat! I rather like the blue/green red combo in the lower left value study! My next favourite would be the bottom right.

  @Jennyann Ok, that makes sense! As annoying as it is to have to buy a pen display (Cintiq or equivalent), I couldn't seem to make any headway with sketch strokes until I did so. And the Kyle brushes that come with Photoshop are good. I still can't make the same strokes in digital that I can with a pencil, but they're a lot closer now than with an Intuos. And with your nice sketchy style, that's going to be important. Another possibility is to scan the sketches and then adjust or fill with digital washes. I took the backgrounds class, and it's a bit more about positioning characters in perspective and dramatizing their interactions than it is about backgrounds per se. It was useful, but not exactly what I was expecting. Hope this helps!

  @Braden-Hallett I agree. Head changes are a challenge. I studied the skull structure, so I can try to stay true to the main characteristics of a raven. However, when I'm drawing loose. I find myself loosing that structure.

  @demotlj Thanks, I'm having fun learning so much about them. I also discovered that they can mimic humans, meaning they can speak, among other things.

  You have a ton a ton, best to make a limit of roughly 20 (also try 20 different artists). And as others have mention have a focus, you may have one but there’s so many on the Pinterest pages, I can’t focus.
