    • RE: JUNE CONTEST: A very different kind of prompt!

      It's been way too long since I've submitted something. I'm loving this prompt!

    • Critique Wanted: Bongo and Clyde

      Hi everyone, I'd welcome some feedback on my June entry. I tend to struggle with color and with the transition from pencil to digital. I am comfortable working in pencil and I'm happy with where I end up but then I get it into Photoshop and while I'm generally happy with the final outcome I do feel it could be better. I've posted the sketch and final below. Thanks in advance!

    • RE: Tom Shannon's WIP: WHEN SUMMER VACATION GOES WRONG.

      These are fun! I like the simplicity of all of these. The first one looks like it could easily be in The New Yorker. I think for the second one you need someone looking/pointing up in terror or a dog chasing it or something... maybe the shadow shows a person clutched in it's claws. For the third one, it might be cool to frame it with a photo style frame/border (polaroid?) to drive home the idea that they are posing for a photo. They are posing, right? Might be fun to do a sequence here. Either way, this is a great "moment before" image. The image here is crystal clear and I love the dog's expression.

    • RE: Bongo and Clyde Feedback?

      @Braxton Hi Braxton, I'm happy to provide a bit of feedback but I'll preface it by saying that I'm still very much a student myself so I'm not sure how valuable it will be for you. 1) I think your concept is very clear. It looks to me that the monkey is teasing/baiting the crocodile and not at all worried about being eaten. The other jungle animals are clearly looking on with concern! I like this aspect quite a bit as it adds another dimension to the story. I think the concept is solid and adding more may not add any additional value. 2) Colors are ok if a little monochrome. I do like that Bongo and Clyde are in the light and the others are in the shade. This provides focus for me. 3)The composition works ok as is but I do feel that Bongo and Clyde are a bit cramped and the other characters enjoy a bigger percentage of the page. Also, each character except the little bird are all about the same size. There are opportunities here for more variety. Just my two cents. All in all nicely done!

      @Braxton Yes, this does feel better. I like the addition of light slanting in from the top right as well. Nice one!

      @Braxton Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I do tend to stick to the middle. It's hard to add contrast. Good advice. 🙂

      @theprairiefox Thanks very much! I'll have a look making that water a bit more green and the trunks more orange-y.
