Finally feeling more comfortable with vignettes.

Oh, this is exciting! Here's my final assignment from the basic perspective class.

Finished piece! Thank you to everyone who gave input.

Delved into watercolor for the first time! I think I'm in love.

Hello! I’m super excited about this month’s prompt. I spent a long time debating which format I wanted to do and ultimately decided on a book spread.

Here’s my sketch/value study. Critique always welcome!

Hi! My name is Bailey M. Vidler! I am a graphic designer, looking to shift my focus into illustration. A little about me: I am from Arizona. I love the color purple and the smell of rain!

Here is my sketchbook - thanks for checking it out! I appreciate any comments and feedback.

I'm currently preparing sketches for Inktober. (My theme is fairies.) Here's the first two:

Hey everyone! Here's my day 1 (ring) that I'm really proud of!

You can place the individual pages of a PDF into InDesign, just like you would an image. However, just like an image, they are not editable. Unfortunately, there is no way to import a PDF into InDesign and edit it. (Really obnoxious, I know.)

I usually use Illustrator or Acrobat to edit PDFs.

@Heather-Boyd Yay! I'm so happy to see the finished piece! I like the vibrant yellow you used for the field. It nicely contrasts the dark storm clouds! Thanks for sharing your progress.

As for white space... I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I think Blythe Russo very effectively uses white in her images. It makes them feel all nice and airy.

That's so exciting, Ness!! It looks gorgeous. Congratulations!!

Here's where I landed with my thumbnail edits:

I'm really excited to get started now because I feel like this is a lot stronger than my original thumbs. Thanks, @carriecopadraws, for sharing the Hilda cover. It helped so much!

This looks great! I personally like Version 2 the best. It puts more emphasis on your character designs. I like how dynamic the poses and typography are in Version 2.

@carriecopadraws Oh! I really like that! That gives me some ideas. I will tinker with my thumbnails and post a revision tomorrow. Thanks so much!

A little late getting started this month, but here I am, haha! I'm really excited for this prompt, and I was really enjoying scrolling through what's already been submitted!

I narrowed my thumbnails down to 3 (incredibly messy) options, which I'm now deciding between. I would love to hear your thoughts as to which you prefer?

These are so good! I think my favorite is 1 (because it has the strongest contrast between monkeys and bg), but... I like how 2 has a "greener" background since green is obvs an important color in the story. That being said, Oz is a very whimsical setting, so you definitely could swing with the more saturated colors on this one.

That's so exciting! Congratulations!
