Welcome to the community! Thank you for sharing your work with us. They brought a smile to my face and remembrances of the "tooth fairy" who visited our classrooms. You'll find we are a supportive and encouraging group. I've learned a lot just from sharing my work and engaging with others here.
The seaside and village life frame is rich for color and mood work. I get stuck on costume and cloth, but a lot of what holds a character upright transfers to how light sits on a building or how a coastline cuts across a composition. That handmade touch you mentioned, when it lands, it's the thing that makes something feel like it came from a person rather than a process. Glad you're here.
Welcome! 🎨 Cheerful and expressive with playful lines is such a good compass for a body of work. The handmade-touch instinct in everyday moments honestly lands, that's the chase that keeps pencil work from feeling flat. Looking forward to seeing more from Casares.
Welcome Gaudidelmar! Happy to have you here.
The fact that you're drawn to seaside and village life shows in how you frame everyday moments. That handmade quality you mention is exactly what stops the eye.
