Easter and Robots put together!

I have no idea what I'm doing - but this is the WIP at the moment. Trying to incorporate Will Terry's coloring tutorial, but I missed the first part. Yikes - need to make time to watch it!

A little boy finds an extra surprise when out for a sale under the moon.

this is my attitude in the face of reality - "Sure, I'm fine, everything's going to be okay!"
And I want to add, I was trying something different for me - using the paper edge. The rope should bleed off the paper. I was hoping to add that tension of what happens next.

I deleted the background foliage and started over. I really concentrated on a lot of illustrations I've seen. I did a highlight color layer and a shading layer. Looked at it for a while and thought it needed more white - so I did a "white pop" layer behind the mouse, both birds and some of the central area. It looks okay on the screen but when I print it - it looks muddy - and that is mainly the foliage. The characters blend into the background. I did this on Procreate and I really made sure not to have high saturated color. I have another drawing I did of a cat and I like how it prints. It's got the right amount of contrast. Any tips on getting a better handle of on this?

@akterrey I like a robot who pays attention to butterflies

@neschof

Really neat! What kind of lizard is that on your stand? The armament on the tail is impressive!
The eye on your croc is amazing

@carlianne thanks!!

@jdubz I'm going through this as well.
I like your Procreate version. It's loose and more painterly. The colors look good - I don't think they are over saturated. Have you printed it? Curious as to what you think.

How are you picking your colors on Procreate? After watching Will Terry's live coloring sessions ( only 2 of 3 though) I started my new project differently. I really made sure not to have saturated colors -- I'm using the Value Control on the color generation. What are you using?
I should probably watch a tutorial on creating colors in Procreate. (!) lol.

I am using my iPad Pro and Procreate by default because - I cannot do long periods of time on a desktop - with photoshop. I'm committed to figuring out the iPad-Procreate combo.

@LisaF Perfect timing! I was about to ask, because I'm settling in for a long day of production and thought it would be awesome to review it.

@Jake-Parker For me: Plan B conforms to what I've experienced with a conference. I could book time off for that.

Plan A would be a harder for me to attend consistently.

Plan C - I would hit the overwhelm button, and miss a lot of good stuff!

and on artists: one of the Fan Brothers. Or both
I saw Christian Robinson once - he's a very giving person.
Carson Ellis?
or Sophie Blackall?

I feel like I'm a 1 and a 5 at once. Say Apple, bam there's an apple. red, shiny, one green leaf. But it's kind of dissociated with anything. Any specific details? No..., Can I get close up on it? if I really think about it. Can I turn it? Again, I have to really fix on that. It's kind of there and not there at once. To make it more real, I have to draw it or go find an apple, or get a picture of the right kind of apple. I also have a sense of the apple - it's essence, if that makes sense???? It exists as more than a visual thing in my head. Now that I think about, I also get a sense of the taste of the apple, how it smells, how it feels - but it's just a glimmer. There and gone in a moment.
It's kind of how my dreams are - kind of in nether state and very susceptible to any other fleeting notion that pops into my adhd brain.
