JANUARY CONTEST: The tracks in the snow were unlike anything Will had ever seen before.

So I redrew my entry for this month's prompt, coz the longer I saw my previous one, the more unsatisfied I was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a little happier with this one because it's more children's book-y imo.

Loving the take on everyone else's entry!

Honestly don't know how the judges are going to narrow it down this month. So many amazing entries~!

I think this is the hardest piece I have worked on for me. I guess perspective is not my strongest side. Thank you for everyone who has helped out along the way - you guys made my process so much more fun and engaging.

@xin-li This is so lovely! The shadows bring a nice dimension to it.

@xin-li love great concept and I am jealous of your perspective!

[BichonBistro]

@Neha-Rawat I love everything about this! You could market this as a Christmas card too.

Here is mine: traditional watercolor which I then manipulated in Procreate. Someday, I hope to be good enough with watercolor to be able to ditch the digital!

[jdubz]

@demotlj Looks great! Out of curiosity, what is it you're feeling like isn't up allowing you to ditch the digital side if that's what you want to do?

[Harley Dwortz]

@chrisaakins I actually feel scared. Awesome!

[demotlj]

@jdubz I'm mostly having difficulty getting the values as dark as I would like and manipulating my brush well enough to get finer details. (And of course, there is the Undo of digital which is great.) Basically, I'm still enough of a novice at watercolor that my patience with it is less than my patience at the iPad. Nevertheless, I like the look of traditional and when it's going well, I like the feel of working with real materials, so I persist!

Good to be back! Here's my submission. A bit gloomy one from what I usually do, fitting for January though I think! Digital. -Todd

calling it done and moving on

@BichonBistro I would not be able to do this without photoshop "transform->distort" tool, especially for the dragon and shadows of kids. I think I redrew that about 10 times.
