@Pamela-Fraley i’d really love to join but my schedule is too tight right now. Also, i still have my faux inktober which will probably extend well into November given my current pace.

@Pamela-Fraley I’ve never done it before but I’d like to try! I love folk & fairy tales too so sounds like a good way for me to develop characters for my portfolio. Your announcement illustration is very good, nice atmosphere!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I’m liking your faux inktober things! So cute! The snow scenes are adorable.

I wish! I think next year I will plan it in. This year was childhood week, I skipped Inktober also for the same reason as you. Hope you have a lot of fun!!!

@Pamela-Fraley Do you know if the prompts are out yet? I can't find them.

Heather Boyd · 20 Oct 2020, 23:51

@Eli I searched (#folktaleweek) for you on Instagram quickly:

Looking forward to this years @folktaleweek ! Prompts will be released on the 26th of October and I can’t wait to get started and see everyone else’s magical work.

@Pamela-Fraley Oooh this looks like a lot of fun! Folk and Fairytales are the best! I can't wait to see the prompts!:) I love your announcement illustration. The pastel feel makes it super whimsical!

@Heather-Boyd Thank you so much!!

Pamela Fraley · 21 Oct 2020, 18:11

@Eli they release the list on the 26th I was looking at last years to get some ideas though.

Pamela Fraley · 21 Oct 2020, 18:17

@JessicaStauffer Thank you! I think I need to work on my canvas sizes in procreate. It looked way fuzzier and out of focus when I posted it here and on Instagram. I’m loving my iPad, but I still have a lot to figure out.

Eli · 22 Oct 2020, 03:21

@Pamela-Fraley Thanks! I am hoping to do it this year. It's such a cool challenge.

Help!!!
Here’s the beginnings of my composition for my selkie illustration for folktale week. There’s going to be a seal in there somewhere and more fish. I’m just wondering if it’s getting too crowded? How’s the composition so far? Any critiques are very appreciated. Also, does anyone know why my images are lousy when I export them out of procreate? They’re all sharp and clear and then they are crap. I don’t know about digital anything, so I feel like I keep ruining images. Just know for now that it is a lot clearer than this.
