First time doing #folktaleweek! "Home" I'm using Folktale week to loosen up on my gestures and to leave out the pen/black outlines I tend to do. Following the prompts with no real story based upon them, more of just thinking in a what I think is a folktale style. -Todd

@Neha-Rawat Hello! Overall a very fun piece. I think you did the background well actually. The shadow from the door works/says enough to me. Which I think you executed very well. For me, maybe the wind streaks could be toned down a tad? Agreed that maybe a chart or a standing chalkboard could be added in to help locate them. I need to get on this Blustery prompt quick! Thanks for the reminder

Took advantage of the MDT zone this month! Great work all around again. Here’s mine. I had fun with this one. -Todd

@theprairiefox @Braden-Hallett @jakecrowe @TessaW Thanks all for the nice reply's. I may put the street sign on the cross walk pole? Or like what @jakecrowe said use a generic name for the school and under it, put the address? I will play with it.
But yeah, I think if I did the street sign like it is here, I'd have to pull way back on the perspective, which will lose a lot of the fun faces etc of the people and I don't want to do that. Onward! thanks -Todd

Hi all, here is the initial sketch for this Month. I took some time to check out a lot of picture books at the library to dissect and absorb artwork.
The layout here was inspired by Laure Fornier, the illustrator for the picture book Wake Up City! written by Erica Silverman. I wanted to search out a pro that I thought was similar to my style and thought Laure was it. Any thoughts, comments are always welcomed! Will move on to Procreate app from here. -Todd

Here’s mine for this month: Don’t step on a crack or you’ll break your Mothers back! Focused on space for text and being mindful-ish of the gutter. Great work all, once again!

@Braden-Hallett Thanks for the comment! Yeah I feel this has been a little ambitious but felt I needed to for missing out on these the last few months. It has been fun so far. On to character designs!

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Yup! I know I played this walking to and from school waaaaay back when! Thanks for the comment

Snapshot of progress...
Still deciding on looks of characters. Really exaggerating the lines to correlate to the “cracks” of the sidewalks.

@Heather-Boyd thanks for the comment! Yeah really emphasizing the depth and playing with the eye movement around the spread.
