@Coley Thanks!

I apologize if this is answered on the forum. I’ve looked & can’t find it. Did it miss the critique arena for the December contest? I never got an invite.

Gorgeous work! I say send it!

As she listened closely, Mary overheard them talking about her...and the child.

I may be just messing with it to much now. I tried cropping it to get it back closer to the 3rd proportions & to get closer to Mary & Jesus. You loose that unnecessary area to the left of her, but you also loose the warm glow. What’s your opinion?

I really like how #12 draws your eye all around in a circle inside the picture. I like this composition.

Or what if the girl on the left is facing more forward instead of off to the left? I’m just trying to keep you from leading the eye off the page.

I just started mine yesterday too! But I was thumbnailing in my head all month! I like The bottom one & I like the idea of flipping it so it’s moving your eye forward in the story. (Toward the next page)

@CLCanadyArts Thanks! So, you like the 2nd one better?

I thought I had planned this out well until I had it all painted. Now the wall coming out of her head is bothering me. I attempted to fix it I. The second image below. Can you guys tell me what you think? Any other corrections you see? !
