Illustration Friday - Parade
URGH!! And double URRRRGHHHH!!!
I was really pleased with this sketch. Until it came time to paint it. I get so frustrated with the painting process. You know, you work and work, and get your drawing just right then the whole thing is destroyed by the application of the wrong color, and you have to start all over again. blurgh.
I just didn't feel like starting all over again. So, here is my version of parade. Please excuse the hideous use of color.

I think your use of color is beautiful! I really enjoy this work! I know exactly how you feel though - I am always so cautious before I color in my sketches :)
Which color is wrong? I like your illo!
I agree with the others. I like the color! And those fun looking characters.
I love it! A wonderful parade!
I like your colors & the composition is great!
I wouldn't have said that at all--the color seems fine to me. But I sure know what you mean, though. I felt the same way about my "heirarchy" picture--and I so often felt that way about watercolors that I don't even do them anymore.
I agree with the others, Michelle. But when you're dissatisfied, then that's it. Do you scan your sketches? It makes it easier to paint another.
Lovely, really nice work! Excellent colours, it´s fantastic!

Everybody may have a bad day once in a while....but this one is surely not make yours a bad day after all!!!
Have a nice day!
Michelle, I am not sure what is frustrating you with this, but I think it's lovely! I like that you simplified the background so that the characters stand out.
Don't worry, your work is always great
I know what you mean Michelle, I often like my sketch much more than my finished piece. but this is great, and I'm sure you've learned a lot from it!
