Adding more details to the figures in the foreground

Good evening!  I'm wrapping things up for the day on my ArtPrize entry and onto banging out a couple 4x6 inch illustrations to sell at a book sale tomorrow:-) I will be using the funds to help offset travel and lodging expenses at ArtPrize.  But before I go, I just wanted to share with you what I have worked on this week.  I wanted to start adding more detail to the families lining up to leave.  I can relate to the kids' faces, and their disappointment of having to leave the water park too soon.

Weekly check-in


Good morning😃
I wanted to share this photo with you today.  As you will notice, I altered the images in the foreground to fit the design better.  It's amazing how many mistakes you can find in a simple sketch when you enlarge it!  While I was at it, I made additional changes to the characters.  

See you next week!

My weekly check-in

Okay, I'm going to be completely honest... I never show my work while it's in progress.  Never.  This is a first for me. 
The section I worked on this week focused more on the parent brigade and the pay-to-play activities.  If you saw the original sketch posted on ArtPrize, you'll notice I've made a few adjustments.  

One of the problems I ran into was that these kids were out of proportion to the other side of the mural, and so I repainted and enlarged them.
Grrrrrrrrrrr!!
