Here's my entry for this month. I wanted to do a piece that would tie into Earth Day so a recycle-bot seemed appropriate. Good luck everyone!

Good luck everyone! Here is my entry...

@shereen-said Love this!

I don't think this is "drawn really bad." I regularly get crits where I'm told that my anatomy / proportions are off. Given this unique pose with out reference I have no idea if the anatomy is off. I do think some the proportions seem a little out of wack. The legs seem really long–especially from the knees to the hips. Also the hips / waist seems really tiny compared to the shoulders and rib cage. If you have reference I would take a look at it again. It also might just come down to a difference of opinions and how you have chosen to stylize the human form. I think @Kevin-Longueil nailed it. If this character was placed in a similarly stylized world it would look great.

@donnamakesart I love your dream project list. It makes me feel like I should be doing something more substantial in 2021

I have two minor suggestions on your spreads. On the right side of spread 2 I would consider moving the text into the negative space in the sky. It kind of feels cramped in that corner plus I think it will be easier to read on a lighter value. The left side of spread 3 feels too sparse compared to all the other pages. Maybe that is by design, but I think you could add a little something to help push the storytelling (maybe show more of the village?). I love spread 4! You had me at wolf in a top hat :), but also really enjoy the composition. If I were you I would keep working on this project. Good luck!

Welcome and good luck! Don't be afraid to post your work. This is truly the nicest and most supportive forum on the internet

@Heather-Boyd I wanted him to be kind, but mischievous. I was hoping the tree hugging would help balance out his chicken stealing. Thanks!

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thank you! I spent a little extra time on the design so it could be immediately plugged into my portfolio because I don't have any character design

@powsupermum Thank you! It's nice to know others feel that way too.

@miranda-hoover I was feeling relatively confident I had a unique concept with my piece until I scrolled through the entries and saw robot and mermaid yetis...mine is just a mammal But, thank you so much! I'm glad you like the style

You might want to check out the Draftsmen podcast. The episodes can be hit or miss and they tend to lean towards the more technical side of art, but they are very knowledgeable and entertaining.
