@Lee-White ( I understand if youâre too busy to reply to this, I just noticed when I went to start a new topic that there was already this topic on this class so I figured Iâd post here)
I LOVED listening to this class and of course thought âoh man, Iâm prepared now!â But it was still a struggle when I sat down to do the class work 
...I really am not good at concept! BUT I do feel like I have a new perspective and new methods to try and I just need more pencil time.
This is my first try at creating an illustration for the âThey knew this storm was coming. The little boat was tossed like a rag dollâ sentence prompt.
I will post the other thumbnails later if I can find them, but sadly, theyâre not much different. I need to work on doing more thumbnails because I find that once I have an initial idea I tend to stick pretty close to that, itâs hard for me to shake it and think up another one.
I really didnât like the first finished image (the smaller one on the left) because all the colors were muddy and just ran together...The second finished one I donât love either - I like the girls face/shoulders, and the colors in the sky...I donât like her pose (Shouldnât have followed the reference photo so closely...), why did I put a duck in the boat?? And why is it also yellow?? Omg. What a mess..Everything is running together again and the boat isnât reading at all (why did I make that blue too??). I find it difficult to separate things using color, I need to take a class on that if there is one as well.
At least this made me create an entire image (even if I donât like it) because I donât get that kind of practice enough. I will probably do this over again several times and try doing more thumbnails...
