Here's the start of my initial idea for November's How to Fix Your Art... my thinking here is Mom took a cooking class and decided to try her brand spankin' new skills making an ambitious dish, it's a dicey situation! I hope the story is clear!

Has anyone tried Casu martzu here? It sure looks disgusting to me.

@Yogita-Chawdhary I love the expressions! I think you totally nailed the prompt.

@AthenaBeana Thank you so much! Had fun working on this one

I’m stuck between two ideas: a momma bird feeding her chicks a worm or two kids exchanging their school lunches! So torn lol

As the mom of an extremely picky eater, I remember making all kinds of smoothies and baked foods adding vegetables and fruits and many of them looked green but were actually very good!

Updated to fix a little detail and name the file correctly

@Mariana-B This is beautiful, Mariana! Love the expression of the kids.

This is another idea inspired by the prompt.
As mentioned in my other entry, this took me back to a time where I had to be very creative with food for my picky eater. Another technique I learned was to not only involve my child during cooking and prepping, but also we did a lot of sensory play with food. Although we never did a witchy themed play, we did lot of playing.

Lately I've been trying to avoid my normal approach of rendering everything like crazy- I want to use form as a focal point and let other parts of the drawing recede into flat patches of tone. Hopefully that helps me focus on composition more!

Here I wanted a creepy and gross subject without being too offputting. But i wonder if it feels a little cold?

Hi! Here's my first ever submission! I tried my best, and hopefully it will be even better next time! I had to crop the image a lot for the file size to work (digital confuses me).
A little girl decided to leave food out for the fairies instead of milk.

Full illustrations scare me but I played with separating the foreground and background in a new way.

Yogita Chawdhary · 29 Oct 2024, 02:38

@Jacob-Davenport This is really cool!

ArtistErin · 29 Oct 2024, 02:39

My entry! I want to be done you guys. I have to move on to some other tasks, I keep seeing stuff I want to fix. Input welcome! Hoping my story is clear. I took the mom out and put Dad in, he's responsible for the kids this weekend. Drawing from life here, my Dad used to take us fishing and would bring home his catch, proudly serving it up for dinner and it was so nauseating to me. The smell... the lake, the fishiness... battered up and fried. YEEECCHHHH

@ArtistErin Great illustration! It would be nice to have a little more messiness in here- maybe some batter dripping off the bowl, a few spots on Dad's apron and gloves, and a bit on the kid’s t-shirt. Right now, it’s a little unclear what Dad is doing with the oyster, so those extra details could help. Nicely done overall!
