  @Leah-Boulet Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. Yeah, this course definitely pushes you outside of your comfort zone, but in a good way I'm sorry to hear about an accident that took place. I hope that all is well now with you and your family. I'm glad that you're back and starting to wrap up on the course. I can't wait to see your final vehicle design!

  Hi! I’ve been slowly working my way through the curriculum since last November. I have followed it in the path it has been laid out. Right now I am just about finished Effective Vehicles. I was not a fan of drawing vehicles but this course has changed my mind. It has become lots of fun. What I’ve noticed is how much the previous courses really helped me through the vehicles course. The lessons on perspective, how to draw anything, light and shadow - the tips and techniques were popping up in my head. It feels like each course supports the next. I think you will really enjoy it.

  Here is Assignment 5 - an original aircraft based on one of the thumbnails made in Assignment 4. First here is the thumbnail I liked. I am not much of a aircraft type person and definitely not mechanically inclined. I really liked the floating sushi bar by Shane in his demo, and I have always loved Lee White's flying contraptions in his work, so that is the direction I ended up going. I think it is a little early 19th century combined with steam punk?? It just sort of developed as I went along and I had fun with it. I hope that there is a story here. The balls on the strings are supposed to be the equivalent to something hanging off the mirror in a car. The wires to run the propeller are in the tubes which hook to the console (totally not mechanically inclined Lol!) After I was done I realized that I should have been doing a spaceship! So...I decided that the business that manufactured this weird taxi cab in the early 19th century managed to stay in business for 200 years and made a spaceship type taxi cab along the same lines as the first model, with a few modifications. Still not mechanically inclined on this one either! Lol I had some problems getting the propeller/rocket perspective right, so if anyone can show me how to angle it better, that would be great. Also, I still need to work on my shading techniques. I've taken Lee's course but have lots of practice to do. Suggestions on how to improve on this would be great also. Thanks so much.

  @SarahLou It looks great! I think it's super smart to work both digital and traditional, especially since I am new to digital and struggle with some things about it still. Although having a good drawing tablet makes a big difference! I am going to start the gesture class this week (I am jumping around) because I'm working on a character study that's going to need it. I'm going to try and finish it and my study by next Monday, but we'll see how that goes. I'd love to post my assignments here though and get some feedback from you all.

  @StudioLooong I think you’re right about being in a learning mindset. I’ll stick to the class as is and see what comes out of it and I can always just recreate the characters to better suit my portfolio later if that feels appropriate. Thank you, and everyone else in the comments!

  I just finished the course and came up with a very very simple first prop idea, ‘cause is my very first time doing this and I wanted to start with a more simple structure to then do a more complicated project for my portfolio later on. So my very simple idea was an Art Deco inspired lamp. I did 20 silhouettes and ended up choosing the more elongated lookin one. I also tried to do the horto for an extra challenge, also because I have a lot of problems visualizing the objects in 3D so this helped a lot! This is the final design, lights on and off. I am pretty happy with the result, structurally speaking, even if seeing all your super creative ideas made me want to try to realize a more complicated idea, so now I am even more motivated to do that ahaha I am currently working on the rest of the prop ensemble, I’ll post that too as soon as I finish it!

  Back with double figures assignment. This time I tried very hard to loosen up! I selected a blottier brush and went to some old family photos to get more small children in the mix. I also went to the last reference resource, a collection of county fair photos with an amazing variety of humanity! The results are mixed. I actually found the county fair photos so fascinating that I didn't want to vary from them. I may have had a bit more story success with the same couple of models that we have been working from all along. But I enjoyed getting some children in too, and since I want to do children's books, felt it was a good opportunity to practice a bit without getting too perfectionistic. On to the last lesson!

  Hello everybody. I have been working for about a month to create a project of a new two-storey house. There are questions about the best roofing material for a low pitch roof. And how can it display a low slope on the frontal image of the object?

  @Elliot I really like where you’re going with that! Nice colors and textures. This is what I’ve been leaning into most recently, I hate doing backgrounds so I’m trying to figure out how to create vague ideas of backgrounds...I’ve got a lot more work to do on that! I’ve really been enjoying making stencils, I used a handmade stencil and a pastel pencil to make the heart pattern on the dress and I’m really liking that. It’s overwhelming though to think about how much studio time I need and how many pieces I need to create to make progress! With three little ones at home constantly and having to do homeschooling as well now I just don’t have that much time. But, all we can do is make sure we’re getting into our creative spaces on a regular basis and making SOMETHING. At the end of a year it’s always gratifying to look back through all the hundreds of pieces of paper you’ve gone through and realize that you are making progress. Every bit helps. I’m really inspired recently by Erin Catia Chien, Komako Sakai, and Erin Stead. I’m finding the best I can do right now is study my favorites and do master copies because I haven’t found an art teacher who teaches this kind of loose emotive style that I want to emulate.

  Hi there, I've just finished the prop design class, I didn't begin the prop ensemble yet, but I wanted to share my lamp design to get some feedback To give you a little bit of context, I've just begun the SVS class a little bit more than a week ago, I decided to really commit to drawing (even if it is as a hobby because I've always wanted to be able to put what's in my imagination on paper). My final goal is to be able to write my own short comic! I never knew how to draw before and globally I learned everything I know from the SVS class I already took. (I took the 4 class from level 1 and some ink class for now) I love working with ink and more especially with brush pen (even if I am not good with it (yet), I just love the feeling) For the Story, this is the different answers to prop questions Where would you find this? This can be found in an antiquity shop but my character found it in a garbage dump in my universe. When was it made? It is an old object in a parallel world where everything is working with steam. -> Steampunk universe. My universe is kind of advance, this is an old object compare to the time of my story. How was it made? It was made with wood, steel and electricity. This is my lamp. (I will certainly post my other prop when it will be done -> I've just finished my lamp today ) Thanks a lot for all your feedback!

  @AnnaDaviscourt I have a character design question regarding turnarounds, or 360 views of the characters. I just finished designing 5 characters for a book dummy project. And part of the project is to provide turnarounds of the characters for the potential client. My question is how do YOU approach this step? Do you even do turnarounds and if so do you draw them straight on or do you draw them dynamically showing more of the characters personality. I drew mine straight on and they are boring as jello without whip cream on top. I thought maybe next time I do this i would draw them more dynamically, but wasn't sure what the protocol was professionally. Can you shed some light on this? Thank you, Lisa =)x

  That's interesting that 2 point was easier for you. Are you saying that if you went back to 1 point it would be harder than 2 point? Or that 2 point was easier because you warmed up with 1 point. I love how you've styled it the room, it's so cute. Only thing I'm seeing that looks off to me is the top of the lamp. It's above the horizon so the ellipse shouldn't be curving that way. It's very subtle, but obvious enough that it looks a little wonky. Not a huge deal, but I thought I'd mention it. Welcome to SVS! The classes here are awesome.
