Hello from the Purbeck Isle in the UK!

Hi all! Laura here - I've been lurking in the forums a while and loved seeing all the work over Inktober. I'm currently at home with my two young girls and hoping to find a little time to improve my skills here. I've completed the Folds and Wrinkles course and I'm on the Creative Composition course at the moment. I think I need to work on my skills as well as working up fun concepts as that is one area I feel particularly lacking! Below are a couple of my drawings, I typically draw on procreate or adobe fresco these days. Critiques (if you spot any weaknesses I might be able to address with a course particularly!) and hellos very welcome!

[mamadraw]

@SFischer Thank you!

[mamadraw]

@Inge-Permentier thank you! Just had a sneak peak at your folklore work - I'm particularly loving your amazing concepts! You've got a storyteller heart and artist hands!

[Inge Permentier]

@mamadraw thank you I've been working on finding my style and place in the storytelling world so it is really nice to hear (read) that

@burvantill Thanks

Hi! I love your work. You’re off to a great start. The work thing that I think you can work on more is the character’s gestures and proportions. As of the moment, they appear a bit stiff. I hope this is helpful.

[mamadraw]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I definitely see that - it is all a bit stiff. I've been thinking about doing the gesture class next so this confirms it

[eriberart]

Welcome! I love how bright and energetic your work is

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@mamadraw i wish you the best. We’d be happy to help you here in the forum.

[mamadraw]

@eriberart thanks for the encouragement! I need to impart some of that life into my characters I think

@mamadraw Hi Laura, welcome! Your art is joyful, bright and very endearing.

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Thanks! Just had a peek at your Instagram and it's super cute, again lots of joy!
