Description This is the first of three pages for a new mini-story featuring the characters from Norm & Cory. I had this in mind for an intermission during the main storyline for a while, and now seemed to be the right time to make it, considering it has to do with harvesting and whatnot.

I am going to paint it rather than just draw it. I was inspired by to do it this way, although I CANNOT stop using the smudge tool.

Is anythin wrong with the smudge tool?

Sometimes it doesn't smudge what you want, and the results are very hard to control. It is an example of what my impatience can bring, and I often think of it as a shortcut. , who I mentioned inspired this move, never uses the smudge tool, at least when you look at her work.

Yay! It's more Norm and Cory!

The squirrel in the second panel (with all the acorns in his mouth) made me laugh out loud. And Jerome in the last panel = WIN for best quote ever.

The acting in the first two panels is really nice! I also really like the way you handled the colors on this, it really brings it to life. However, on the first panel the line weight on the nut that that angry squirrel in the foreground is supposed to be holding makes the nut look further away than it should, and makes the angry squirrel just look like she's holding her arms up. That's just a matter of raising the line weight and darkening the shadows, though.

I loved the coloring, smudged. you have a very different way to color your drawings. I wish I could paint on photoshop just like you, your painting style is perfect for doing views of nature with no lines, it gives more effect of "sunlight hitting the surface of things". So bucolic...

The colors, the expressions, the character designs, it's all so awesome! Why don't people do cartoons like these any more?
