Here's my piece for Will!

The moment before... you meet friend or foe.

I like #1 and #2! I like how you have little pieces of the toy trailing behind the baby. I'm liking #7 too!

@burvantill Thanks for the suggestion!

Love the look of delight on the dog's face in 14. I also love 9. Can't wait to see what you do.

@lovetherobot Thank you very much!

@JerrySketchyArt Thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to add some plants into the foreground. Hopefully that will add some depth.

Hi! This is my first time trying out one of the monthly prompt. I've been looking at this board for a while and thought I'd like to join in! I love seeing all the sketches and revisions and seeing how the final pieces turn out.

In my image, I want to show a yellow bird with a broken wing, "meeting" the other main character, a snapping turtle. The bird is hiding for cover, believing that it is going to end up as a snack for this gigantic turtle. They end up going on an adventure later.

I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to make this composition better? Should I adjust the angle? Maybe have the turtle's mouth even closer? The plant in the foreground is a cattail that the turtle stepped on. Is it distracting?

I'll work in watercolour/gouache and then edit in photoshop for the final image.

Any comments would be awesome!

Thanks!
