FEBRUARY CONTEST: YETI COOKING

[HeatherBouteneff]

@KayPotter I feel like such a noob still, it is really an honor to even be asked that! I think approaching the classes openly have helped me, as well as following the "look to the masters" advice. I started including illustrators that I have always loved- Jerry Smath, Murial Fahrion, Christopher Santoro etc and find my own art place that makes me feel that cozy and happy.
In regards to this yeti challenge, and as aspect that I honestly failed at, it reminds me a lot of the Clown-Arounds by Jerry Smath. Everything they owned was so obviously theirs and amazing.

Hello SVS community! Here is my Yeti cooking for February!
I just finished my first SVS course "Creative Composition". Such a great course & I really took to heart the emphasis on planning and sketching out concepts in advance. I know that seems obvious, but I've always been a 'just start drawing and see what happens' kind of artist (I'm learning now that illustration requires so much more) it was a huge challenge for me to design and really think about the concept for this one, I hope you guys like it. Good luck everyone, I love seeing all your work!!!

@Jeremiahbrown Makes ya wonder what that green waft of smoke actually smells like (considering where it seems to be emanating from)?!

[Jeremiahbrown]

@Casual-T Haha, I'm sure it's delightful

My Yeti 'Chefi'.

Hey guys, re-posting this one with some additions. I didn’t like how my first image was going to get hit with “This doesn’t really say ‘yeti’ to me. What kind of a yeti gets to chef up some solid meals in a kitchen as fancy and modern as that?” so I made some minor alterations.

I’m not sure if the grey backdrop counts against the ‘spot illustration’ I’m going after but I wanted the outline of the daydream bubble to stand out and liked the look of the white font. We’ll see how she does.

Best of luck, as always, to everyone competing. Hopefully there are a bunch of solid portfolio pieces to come out of this one:)

@Joe-Koz me likey. Great use of the harsh shadows in the background. It makes the image more fun and brings out the colours too. Nice work.
