As per my entry, since i made this mess to begin with :)

1. A tall image (phone screen proportions)
2. It’s going to be Celeste, she is laying on her back, wearing white clothes, almost bridal
3. Her tattoos are showing, she has her arms crossed on her chest, her nails painted black
4. She is laying in freshly loosened dirt, maybe her skin is dirty as well in places. but her face is clean
5. Her eyes are open, she is staring at the viewer

I had to give her an image i already had as a style guide, or else it went for photo-realistic by default, which was actually pretty good, but not what i wanted.

A young blonde girl look at herself in the mirror, her recfletion shows an monstrous old witch, eerie ambiance, fantastic movie

Marcelo came from a family of hat makers but he chose to be a lawyer instead. When his cheeky grandfathers came back from dead to haunt him, he was at first entertained by their tricks. However, after a year of relentless buffoonery and mischief…

Love the positive feedback ❤️

Don’t worry about overwhelming the community, we’re not even whelming right now :)

As far as putting some meaning behind the picture. It really depends on what kind of story or emotion you would like to portray. I usually start from what I want to show and work from there. Then usually I get distracted, end up with something that just makes me giggle and post that instead :)

Most important, just post what you like and what touches you.

Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis.

https://archive.org/details/andrew-loomis-fun-with-a-pencil

It’s a fun book for beginners that mostly focuses on drawing characters.

It is an old book though, so it might contain some unpleasant caricatures further in.

The cheese must flow :)

And my runner-up:

Looks great to me, I love parodies! :)
