Wanted to show off my Fujioka wall of fame Did you know his prints are for sale on https://www.etsy.com/shop/HelmetAndHound
? An incredible value, truly! They make me happy every time I walk in the room. I apologize for the angle, trying to reduce the glare...they look even better in person.

Maybe this is too much. I'm sort of obsessed with not showing the creature entirely because I watched Lee White's video Visual Storytelling Techniques, which is PHENOMENAL, and in it, he talks about the impact of not showing something so that the viewer uses their imagination to visualize something in the drawing, etc. Anyway, any suggestions are appreciated...preferably easy ones ha ha. Oh, also...does the teacher look like she fainted or is just dead? I am hoping for fainted. Dead teachers are probably not highly recommended for children's literature

Hello!
I'd appreciate any advice, draw overs, ideas, suggestions, etc. I'm not kidding when I say this is project #9 and #10 for the February 3rd Thursday idea for "Love." I have spent a ridiculous (embarrassing) number of hours on thumbnails and little sketches. Anyone else get paralyzed by the idea portion of the process? Geez, I was like obsessed. I've done two versions for my idea... Oh, and the circles hanging from the trees are glowing lantern things.

Second...

Thanks in advance! I would love help with the officiant's head (supposed to be a raccoon) I would also love any other help as my brain feels like it's going to explode

I really like the first one. I think the crowded feel makes it seem like a busy place. If that's what your intention was, then you achieved it.

Any feedback is appreciated, thank you! I'm sort of unhappy with the whole cheerleader area...it was hard to figure out where to put their hands/arms. I feel ok about my guy and the hallway leading to the doors/exit. Just not sure about the window. I feel like the wall is too plain. I'm a middle school teacher so I'm used to lots of "love" drama at school

I am wondering if this needs more of a background. If so, I think it would have to be reformatted in a portrait canvas. Any ideas?

One more...

So darling! Lots of emotion in these.

I really like with the line work.

Beautiful! Such a lovely composition.

I love this perspective and the reflection of color from the water on the diver's face. Very nice!

Love your critters! I have horses and I appreciate the squirrels action...very realistic approach to riding. I think I would like the foxes eye to be open. Really like your background, too!

I like #3

Glad your surgery was a success! Hope your healing process is quick and the results of your procedure exceed your expectations.

OMG!! This is fantastic! I really love it.

I agree about the faces. This is such a great perspective! I really like your composition.

I like #2 best.

@smceccarelli This book is fantastic!

They are both wonderful, but I prefer the cropped version.

I bought a used 13 inch Cintiq from a guy at a tattoo parlor for $700. He had used it twice. It works great and I love it. I did get lucky, because he had the 22" that he used daily and bought the smaller one for traveling, but said he never got around to using it.

I think it really depends on how often you're going to use it, and of course, how much you're willing to spend. For me, zooming in and out hasn't been much of an issue.
