Hi everyone!

I just finished some initial roughs as options for the November BG. Please let me know which composition would be best so I can start sketching it out more cleanly!

Hi Jordan,

My apologies that this is late! I thought I had sent you an email to let you know that your lineart is looking good and you can proceed with color. 

Please let me know if you need anything, or have questions/concerns. I hope you have a lovely weekend! ☀️

Best,

Brenda

[Jordan DeOcampo]

Hi Brenda!

No worries at all! I’ve just added my next draft with color to the Google Drive.

Hi Jordan,

Notes are in! The team provided some good tips on shading and colors, make sure to check out the SyncSketch for more details: https://syncsketch.com/sketch/MWVkYmYxM2Zk/?offlineMode=1#/29476477/30637680/a_84906067

• Paintover is attached below! Please meet in the middle of the paintover/original colors and widen composition if possible
• Make colors less murky/desaturated.
• Maybe we can thin out the gold rings and make them lineless and match the way the metal is rendered

Let me know if you have any questions/concerns. The second deadline is on Sunday, 10/20 @ 11:59 PT!

Have a great rest of your week! 🎃
