Here are my silhouettes and a work in progress of my lineup :) I made a kind of wacky tomato gang. I spent a long time colouring it in photoshop and none of my results really worked. I had a lot of trouble with the atmospheric perspective. I am also new to photoshop so it was just an overall slog and after a couple of days I had to call it. I learned a lot though and I am going to go through the whole course again with some different prompts in mind and hopefully come to a more definitive end point.
Really loved this course a lot and learned a huge amount.
Also feedback very welcome :)

Hi Tara, those are some great shapes.
If you have issues choosing colour which goes well together, you can google some colour combinations and relations and stick with one you like.
I attached an example of what I meant (Keywords: color combination spooky).
You can pick colour with the picker tool and use it in your drawing.
Best wishes, Andre

Oh boy, this took longer than I thought. I went down a completely different road for 2 tries and scrapped everything before trying something else.
Hide your money and your goats, here comes the infamous PUMPKIN BRIGADE!
I had loads of fun and learned a lot.
Thanks Scott.
Feedback is appreciated :)

so here are my finals. I had fun with this class, will definitely try it again some time.
I feel some of these look a bit too vector-ish but maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I like these a lot. successfully descriptive shadow shapes in your figures and great composition showing relationships. Your poses are also very interesting and really show who these guys are. I wish you tried some more atmospheric stuff with the background characters but over all, awesome work.

Sorry i don't understand, in the lesson Character Line-Up at the end of the video the final process it's done in traditional, but in this lesson at the begining the greyscale work it's done in digital, how I do this? there is no explanation it just happens. Thx

I think they are in the wrong order. Watch Silhouettes and Shapecarving videos before this one.
