I saw a concept art tutorial on pumpkins so I gave it a shot.

No one caught it but the clouds form a wolf like face.

You are right. I did not see it either. But now I 
can see the wolfs face also. Great!

Ohhh good job! You'd imagine a quite dark atmosphere in which you'd see big pumpkins here and there. x)

This is lovely! I really like how natural the texture of the pumpkin looks. I'm always a fan of twisted and gnarled trees and branches, too!

Thank you, not sure if it came out right but the sky has a subtle wolf like face also.

This was a lot of fun to do.

I must agree that it's never too early for Halloween
I love that your picture has a simple object, but you managed to give it a creepy and dense athomsphere.
I especially like gnarled branches, t really adds to the mood of the picture (I also love to draw gnarled trees
The colours you used are also very fitting for the topic

When I started this it was just to practice doing pumpkins, not meant to be a finished piece.

Ended up liking how it came out and couldn't bring myself to delete it.

Seems that happens a lot, maybe to much.

Gnarled trees are lots of fun doing.

Thank you so much for the comment, especially about colours, that is an area I have trouble with.

And I think that it's a good thing to keep your practise drawings to see how much you improved

the colors and the texture of the ground are amazing. convey to me the true feeling of the autumn. walks in the forest, rather than noisy kids running away.

Nothing against halloween, but to me autumn is more fit to silent contemplation within the nature, and about how man can still blend with nature itself,  rather than parties.

You should. I know what you mean I am always out of season also, too early or late.

I can give you a great link for pumpkins if you want.

Halloween art is my favorite, so much fun.

This is a great vid

CG Cookie concept has a ton of helpful vids.

The only way not to suck at doing something is to keep doing it til you get better.

This year I have really tried to focus on values and saturation more, also learning how use brush dynamics.

Knowing what changing the dynamics can do is huge, much more than I imagined.

Pumpkins are one of my favorite things to paint so it helps when the painting is something you like doing.

Thank you so much.

Yup, all the little things you learn can make a huge differents.
I am currently learning more about how to control light and atmosphere, there 
is always something you learn thru the work and it makes art more interesting.

This is perfectly and wonderfully eerie. What I really like about this design is the sense that characters are approaching the pumpkin through the mists. I can vaguely make out a face on one of them.  ...of course this could be a happy mistake and perhaps I'm looking into it more. I like looking for designs in the clouds too. haha...  Great work here!

JPMNeg In reply to TawnyaBoe [2017-08-08 15:25:45 +0000 UTC]

No the characters in the background are deliberate, pumpkins are a lot of fun to paint.

Thank you for such a nice comment.

I bet in some months it will be even more plump and it will rise from the ground.
It's roots will become legs and voila, a pumpkin king is born

Nice work on the colors, on giving the impression of depth with the branches further in the back and also the fog(clouds) look more detailed than usual. Overall, good job on this one!

JPMNeg In reply to Roksiel [2017-08-07 20:40:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, trying to take your advice with clouds. 

Not sure if the effect came out but the clouds were meant to have a wolf like face feature.

Thank you

Roksiel In reply to JPMNeg [2017-08-08 18:44:45 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad I could help!

I didn't see it at first but now that you mentioned it, I can definitely see the wolf in the clouds. I think I may have missed it because one of the branches if so close to the upper edge of the nose. It's not exactly a tangent , but pretty close.

JPMNeg In reply to Roksiel [2017-08-09 14:18:50 +0000 UTC]

The wolfish face was intended to be easily missed. 

Tangents, first time I heard of it, great a whole new thing to learn about, lol.

Thanks for sharing the vid and your knowledge.
