Here's my submission. This piece was inspired by There Was an Old Woman Tossed Up in a Blanket (a nursery rhyme). Also, I deleted my last post and am reposting the image. I hope that's okay. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Here is my entry for January's prompt. So excited to be participating in my first contest!
(Hope I'm posting this correctly.)

Hi all,
I'm new here and a little nervous about posting. I just finished up a class on imagining things in perspective and it was so very helpful. Lately, I've been creating quick little illustrations to both practice perspective and working digitally:

Hi all, just wanted to share what I'm working on for the February contest. I was inspired by the nursery rhyme There Was An Old Woman Tossed Up in a Blanket. I was wondering if there are any glaring issues that I might want to rework? Also, I haven't added lighting or shadows yet because I'm a bit lost. In the image, the main light source is the moon, but in reality, it's the sun (reflecting off the moon). So...which way should the shadows fall? Am I overthinking it?

Anyway, here's what I've got so far:

I’m so sorry - I was one of those who viewed your post, but didn’t respond. In all honesty, I just feel completely unqualified to offer any helpful critiques, being so new to illustration myself (and new to the forums). But I know how terrible it feels to put your work out there and get little response. I’m definitely going to make more of an effort to stop lurking and start interacting.

@Manuel-Herrera This looks great! I found this assignment difficult, but it looks like you’ve nailed it. Love all your little details.

@Jenna-Jenks Thank you so much!

@Jeremy-Ross I saw that! Yours looks great! I will probably finish mine up and submit it in the next week or so

@chrisaakins I LOVE the reddish glow! It really warms up the whole image.

This is beautiful!! And, even though I love the colors in your sky, I also really like the suggestion of maybe cropping the sky out and focusing on the story in the underwater scene. However, even if you don’t, I think this is still a very strong piece.

@Amelia-Bothe This is so amazing! I want to snuggle those little critters.

@Jenna-Jenks Thank you so much!

@chrisaakins Thank you! I added teeny tiny little stars to the corners. It didn't really bother me, and I realized that (of course) there wouldn't be clouds in space, so I'm not going to worry too much about it.

@Kali I really like the composition you’ve created! It really moves your eye into the image.

@Julia Ah, I don’t know . I was just thinking, corners of the sky? Maybe I could add clouds for it to hang from? Hmmm.

@TessaW This is all so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to give detailed feedback.

And also, thank you for giving me your first reaction on my last idea. That was a forehead smacking moment and I so appreciate the honesty.
