@Braden-Hallett This one is so cool!!!!

Wow this will be so great, love the story and composition

@Braden-Hallett That was so fun to read, great expressions

@Nathalie-Kranich Both of them are so great, but slowly I am liking the second idea, because the girl is not like Tomb Rider adventure girl but a normal girl having adventure in a house of explorer grandma. Maybe it is the hut in the above picture.
What about changing the eyes of the girl on the bottom illustration, that she is looking down to the book title, because now she is looking up.

@LauraA Really great studies Laura

Wow it looks awesome. I like the 1 color study, maybe because it is more cool, cold in color.

@Braden-Hallett Wow I love this one so much, great illustration for autumn season.

Wow so lovely, I love both of them, I cannot deside, which one I like more. Maybe the upper one, because I like to see the animals also...

and there went my favorite one...I loved the idea, because it was different to the other in aproach...Great work Lee. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

For me I prefer ebook, it is quick and I can also listen to it on my mobile phone.
For children only printed book.

@todd-wilson Welcome here in forum. To Your great sketch, I liek it a lot. Only thing I see is the tail the boy is sitting on, If the tail is on its side, than the spikes should have different angle. Also it doesn't seem like the tail is from the big monster or is it? Also the small monster is almost on the same line like the stroke from the big monster (on the left, the horn is almost the tummy stroke of the big monster). The right middle monster, I think I would like to see one of his hands, mybe skretching his head? or only lines, taht he has hands down the body. I don't know if it will be not too stuffed with the fireplace than, maybe making it smaller or the canvas little bit bigger. Loooking forward to see the next stage.

I was this year in Bologna for 2 days, flew in from Germany. It was really great experience and I full recommend it for us illustrators. I still don't know if I will be coming next year.

@Whitney-Simms I don't know about working water colors and "illustrator/vectors", does it work? I never found brushes or this effects there, I know vectors more as flat style.... For drawing watercolor is Ipad really great, I there are many great apps with great water color brushes, but all no vector. I have my water color brushes in photoshop, but the effect isn't there like on Ipad.
About the intuos, I love it, but I don't have the problem with drawing and my eye/hand coordination...a lot of ppl have this problem. For drawing in classical style are cintiq and ipad better, you draw there as on paper. For me vectors are lines and flat surfaces/designs, so i don't need the feeling like drawing and I am happy with intuos for it. Intuos is also my mouse, I don't use mouse anmyore, I am much faster with pen :).
I don't know if You really want to go to vectors direction, than intuos is ok. If you do illustrations and You want to do them digital, than I would go for Ipad or cintiq.
Mabye you have some friend who has intuos? I had the old wacom bamboo fun for almost 6 years, before I bought intuos and it served its purpose greatly.

I have Ipad Pro, Wacom Intuos(use it as my mouse) and Wacom Cintiq. I started illustrating in photoshop 2 years ago, but mainly for the last 10 years I was/am working in Adobe Illustrator with vectors, the most time only on Wacom Intuos. When I am doing some designs, I start with sketch in photoshop on cintiq(22") and than make the rest in AI with Intuos, sometimes on cintiq. I Pad, I hated it to move the files and I was so used to AI, so I never work vectors on Ipad, only on my windows. I Use Ipad only for vacation and sketching.
I bought the cintiq 2 years ago, before I worked only with intuos and was happy with it for my verctor designs.
Hope it helps.

@charitymunoz I have made screenshot form my instagram account, here the infos about folktaleweek

@Phil-Cullen I know what You mean, for me it was frustrating...always this lag...I had to draw very slow, or wait...sometimes really long. After I changed the ussage, it was little bit better, but windows 10 eats a lot. Now it is ok with my new hardware. I don't know if it depends on driver and windows...because one year back I din't have the problem, but I didn't use difficult brushes there either...

Hi @Phil-Cullen , I had this issue, when I didn't have enough performace. I draw and than waited and than there were some random brush strokes...and draw and waited and again some hard random brush strokes without pressure...So always waiting and correcting. The most problems I had with water color brushes when I did quick lines like furr. Try to make the momery usage higher, but slowly because your windows needs lot of ussage too. I got new parts for my pc and it got better.

I did last year #folktaleweek , could do only 6 of 7 promts but was very nice challlange, something like #childhoodweek
I will try to join this year also, but dond't know, only 4 days to prepare some tales for the promts....

@Lee-White Great idea, I will do it so. Thanks Lee

I will try it, don't know if I will survive day 1...
