      He’s big, he’s hairy, he lives in the Highlands of Scotland and you don’t want to mess with him when he’s hungry... it’s Hamish McYeti, the Abominable Scotsman ā˜ŗļø

      @Rachel-Horne I love it! Great colours and character- it’s got all the hallmarks of your style and it’s an original take on the yeti- bravo!

    • RE: Podcast recommendation request?

      @xin-li Hi! For illustration I like @creative_catchup with Mel Chadwick and Natasha Newton, and ā€œThe Good Ship Illustrationā€ podcast.
      The ā€œLoosen up your paintingā€ podcast has some interesting episodes.
      For children’s book illustration there’s a UK podcast ā€œLibrary Girl & Book Boyā€, I’m not so keen on this one but some of the interviews are good. ā€œSens CrĆ©atifā€ & ā€œIllustration: le podcastā€ are great if you happen to speak French!
      For podcasts on creativity I like ā€œLetters from a hopeful creativeā€, ā€œHashtag Authenticā€ and ā€œGrow with Soulā€ on marketing for creatives.
      Hope that helps!

    • RE: Folktale Week!

      @Pamela-Fraley I’ve never done it before but I’d like to try! I love folk & fairy tales too so sounds like a good way for me to develop characters for my portfolio. Your announcement illustration is very good, nice atmosphere!

    • RE: Halloween Feast September WIP thread

      @Gabby-Correia great idea! I like the contrast/lighting too.

    • RE: Ink Fairy re-draw critique requested

      @djlambson thanks! With hindsight I probably should’ve put Ellie in the right hand corner beside the light and had the fairy more on the left (the lighting doesn’t work now), it’s all good learning experience though šŸ™‚

    • RE: Ink Fairy Piece Re-Work

      @Miriam this is great advice thanks! (Mine was one of the low contrast drawings too)

    • RE: Critique Arena

      @Rachel-Horne same for me! I did the composition class last week and I wish I’d seen it before the deadline as it helped a lot to learn about contrast and being able to read the story from a distance!
