WIP for a scene from Æsop's Fable "The Owl and The Grasshopper".

Day 3

Here’s an update to my illustration. @juliepeelart made some great suggestions that I couldn’t pass up so I got rid of the little dog and replaced it with the dog house and tools he used to get floating. I also expanded on the story to show that his target is a comically huge steak cooking on a grill. Thanks again @juliepeelart for your great suggestions!

Hi everyone! So I’m having trouble finishing this piece. Im trying to keep it simple, but I feel as though it’s missing something. Should I add dog houses near the fence? Im not really sure where to go from here so any and all help would be very much appreciated!

Hi everyone! Here is my finished Mer-May illustration, titled “Just Deserts”. Hope you guys like it!

This exercise was a lot of fun and helped me learn quite a bit! Looking forward to week 3!

Hey everyone, this is an illustration I’m working on. I would really appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks a ton!

Hey all, I posted the start to this painting about a week ago and got a lot of great suggestions from you guys. Here is what I have so far but I must admit I’m not super satisfied with it and am not really sure what isn’t working about it. Again, I need your guys help to lead me in the right direction. Thanks again for any and all help.

Day 3

Congrats! Great work!

I really love the fox and gnome(?) As well as the alien hunter illustrations. I want to know more about the aliens that that dog hunts! Great job!

Really nice rim light on the characters!

I think it depends, ultimately, on what you are going for. Maybe if the overall thickness of the line was minimal then it wouldn't be as noticeable. I think Jake mentions varying the thickness to go along with the way you are planning to light your illustration, which might minimize it even more.

@drawnbyshawn I agree with @jennyeickbush that a few adjustments could really sell the image. I definitely think a nervous expression would help out. Also, maybe have a lot of the already eaten apple cores lying around to show how much he buys in to the superstition. Something along the lines of " if an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would ten or twenty do"!

This sounds great! I'd be up for it as well!
