I work as a web designer/developer and a freelance graphic designer by day and working towards becoming an illustrator on my off-time. I have always loved children's books and love to draw.
This is the first time I have done a character from so many angles. It was challenging, but a good experience. Mine is Grumpyeti. He is grumpy, but has a soft side hiding inside. I think there are so many clever takes on the Yeti for this contest. It is fun to see everyone's ideas.
I am hoping that this fits the spot illustration criteria. Seeing all the entries make me wish that I had my own Yeti chef. Great job everyone! This is done for now. I want to make some revisions and repost later, but am not sure I will have time this week. Here it is just in case:
Here is my entry this month. I was hoping to make two, but not sure if that is going to happen or not. It was a fun prompt! I love seeing all the different ideas!
First time forum poster, but a long-time forum reader. Here is my entry. There are so many great ideas for isolation
Here is my entry. It is fun to see everyone's take on the book! 
I combined Slovember, Will Terry's draw 50 things (included this after hearing Will Terry say during the 3 Point Perspective podcast that Slovember was a good time to do it) , and the Inktober prompt "storm" for the Together prompt this month. I am not done yet, but time has run out to turn this in. There are a lot of great illustrations, can't wait to see the slideshow!
Here's this month's entry. I have to admit that there are some Yetis' homes that I think would be cool to live in myself. Great job everyone!
Phew! I got something done, I wasn't sure if I would be able to make time for this month's prompt. It is finished, not perfect. I love seeing off the different home that people have come up.
@LauraA The composition and character are really good. I also like the values.
@Nyrryl-Cadiz I like the fish one. I saw the hook as the letter J. I like that you used an icon for the space in the O. I would face the fish the opposite way and looking up to the right more so that has a more positive feeling to it.
@Janette I think @davidhohn has talked about work for hire and maintaining copyrights on the forums before. It also seems like there was a podcast talking about it too. They had a really good way to explain it to clients and why you should price it higher if that is what the client wants. There were also pros and cons.
@Darian These are great! I love seeing your Inktober illustrations!
Here is my entry. I cut it really close this time for submission. I am impressed with the illustrations everyone has done! It is fun to see what characters people have come with. I love the variety!
@Valerie-Light This turned out great! I love all the writing and how it shows the process.
@Valerie-Light These are great! Well done!
@Valerie-Light I am mostly thinking that the one where she looks disgusted on the bottom and the one where she holds the grasshopper are the ones that aren't consistent.
@Valerie-Light Your character has a lot of fun interests! I especially love the go-kart. The ink wash is fun too. Some of the expression pictures do not look consistent and like the same person. Close, but not quite. You could do the line thing on character sheets (not sure if there is a name for it) where you draw straight lines across a page. Then draw the head several times, but with different expressions. The lines could be for her eyes, mouth, nose etc. So the line up. That might help. I hope that makes sense.
I have a hard time keeping my characters consistent, but have noticed that when I draw the lines, it does help some.
