Here is my entry. This one was a lot of fun!

Here’s my entry for January. Like many others, my goal is do an entry each month. There’s so much amazing talent here! It’s great to be a part of this forum.

Thank you for all of the great suggestions! They helped me come up with these changes. ️! What do you all think? Better? I really am happy with how it turned out

Here’s my February entry. I changed it up last minute because I couldn’t seem to get my first idea right. Good luck everyone!

This was such a fun prompt! I went a bit brighter than usual. I hope you all are surviving quarantine. Stay healthy out there!!

Any tips for the lighting? I tried to bring the mice out a bit, but I feel like something with the lighting or shadows isn’t working right.

I seem to really struggle with dark and light in my images. I tried to really work on it in this illustrations. Any tips for getting better at finding the right amount of dark/light balance? I’m open to any advice I can get

@NessIllustration thank you so much! ️

@Valerie-Light thank you! I’ll check it out!

@NessIllustration thank you for taking the time to respond. This information is really so helpful. The last thing I want to portray is that my work is unprofessional or cheap. Thank you so much!

I really struggle with this. I get asked often how much I charge and I can usually say it depends on the size/detail of the work. But sometimes they ask me how much per hour I charge. I have NO idea!!

How do you guys break it down to hourly pay? And how do you get comfortable and confident to not short sell yourself?

I’m really needing help in this. Today after ai told them how much I charge per hour they asked me how I even make a living charging that little. I’m used to being a stay at home mom who makes nothing- so anything sounds better than that to me, especially doing something I love.

Please help!!

@MarksByMallory thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

I like my idea for this spot illustration. I’m just thinking I can maybe push it somehow, like something isn’t quite right maybe? Any suggestions for the perspective? I tried to make him look really big, even uncomfortably big. But I just feel like something is missing. Obviously I will be adding color and finishing it up. I’m still in the beginning sketching and shading stage.

Congratulations! That’s great news, and I love your work!

@Georgios-Christopoulos thank you! It was fun to put together
