Are those trees in the window, or nuke clouds? I’m calling trees, because of the birds flying with apparent calm. Another Skittles addict faces the consequences of her gluttony. That, or she just did something not suitable for public mention with a unicorn. This doodle conveys its idea for the most part, but the bare execution will lead me to place it in the low-mid tier.

This feels a bit thrown-together to me. The room being so empty is a little bit disconcerting, and it makes everything in the foreground feel sterile. I would definitely advocate moving the room's corner angle two or three inches to the left and cutting out the resulting whitespace. It'll make your piece feel a bit better composed.

As for the rest, you're using some pretty basic shapes to convey what you're trying to show, here. Which, while definitely infinitely better than anything I could ever do, does feel a bit barebones. I'm not qualified in any way to offer suggestions, but I think the sort of details and shapework that this piece needs to feel complete probably come with practice and time.

The white-speckled boundaries of the colour and the black lines are giving me awful flashbacks to when I first tried to make art using Paint, found it was really freaking hard, and dropped it immediately. So you have my respect for sticking with it and finishing your image.

I can say that the layers tool in GIMP or Photoshop helps get rid of those.

Don't ask me how.

I'm surprised this didn't get more stories. I think, despite other entries having a cleaner execution, that this one was begging to be written about.

This one, then:

Was the one I did after I couldn't figure out how to delete the one I never really meant to enter in the first place. I'll thank folks again for the kind words, especially Bachiavellian's talk about "practice and time." Unfortunately, I've been drawing at least 11 pages of comics a week for more than 13 years now on my Daily Grind and Terebinth webcomic sites. So I don't even have that excuse.

So remember, kids: just because you do something for a long time doesn't make you get better at it. :)
