I came across this line of trees a few miles from my house and they had such character I had to paint them.

@kylebeaudette This makes me laugh. Seems like a satire on All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Salutations comrade peers. I am... fresh at this academy. Fear not my... helper slug. They are... ravenous. I mean, harmless.

[Janette]

@Braden-Hallett wonderful expressions

[Georgios Christopoulos]

@Braden-Hallett nice!! Love the idea!

Hey team
Just practicing with the use of some shapes and the effect they might have when drawing a character!

[kylebeaudette]

Fake book cover. I'm thinking of doing a series of watercolour sketches that are fake children's book covers, selling them at my city's Artwalk or on Etsy

[Oana]

@demotlj I play geocaching and I instantly wondered - is there any box hidden in those trees?!
Great piece! They are like Ents!

[demotlj]

@Oana They’d be a great place to hide something though my sister said she wouldn’t want to walk alone down that road

Hey Everyone,
I have a portfolio review at the SCBWI virtual conference at the end of this month. I did this piece as a watercolour and as a vector illustration some years ago. I've always loved it. Today, I took the watercolour scan into procreate and worked on it a bit. Do you think it's a strong piece for my portfolio? I just listened to the class on 100 pieces to have in your portfolio, and I thought this might work for things of different scales. I also plan to add text in there.

My first rough draft/sketch of Alberts house. I'm actually using my Colin bear character to make a house design, since I didn't participate in last month's challenge. I had the idea to show him several times around the house doing what he does, similar to the old family circus comic, like a day in the life of Colin type thing. Not sure if that will be confusing tho. Don't want it to look like the house is overrun by bear cubs

@neschof This shape is amazing! I love this sketchy look, too - gives a very stylized impression of fur.

[NicolaSchofield]

@Elliot thank you, it's going to be a square book cover and I wanted to fill the whole front cover with the wolf so he had to contort himself

[NicolaSchofield]

@kylebeaudette I really like this - they're so cute!

[Joe Koz]

Rough character design for a comic that probably will never happen

[Kori Jensen]

@Braden-Hallett I love it

[K.Flagg]

@Jon-Anderson this is really beautiful and intriguing but I am a sucker for Gray scale images.

[Georgios Christopoulos]
