  I think you're doing a great job but my only issue is that it appears your light source is the lamp in the right corner(? ) but I can't see any light actually coming from it! The light /lamp would cast a bright sharp edge ray of light shining on the wall and down on the pillows below it as well as a bit of light coming from the top opening.I think it would be a good idea to make all the shadows all a bit dark as well. You can google lamp on in dark room to see samples. I like your layout!

  If you're using a computer, you should be able to pop the PSD into a free program like Gimp to change the color mode very quickly. That way you're not relying upon anyone else to change it for you if you have other files that are in Grayscale mode.

  Hey! I'd call it a witch's potion lamp, the unknown recipe of the potion gives it a glow which flows through the skull and gives the space around it an eerie green glow.

  Hello, I am enjoying working my way through the Effective Vehicle Design course. I don't usually draw cars or vehicles, so this is out of my comfort zone. +++++++++ Assignment 3 - combine two different boats into one new design. I combined a fishing boat with a punt. I live in Cambridge in the UK, where punting on the river Cam is a fun activity. +++++++++ Assignment 4 - thumbnails and gesture marks for aircraft design. +++++++++ Assignment 5 - A new aircraft design. I was drawn to my shark-shaped thumbnails and designed a 'Space pirate's cruise ship'. Perfect for plundering the vast oceans of space. Thank you for taking the time to have a look. Any comments welcome. ~Katy

  WATERCOLOR BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS (Luminous Lighting)

  Just came upon this discussion and wanted to chime in something I've been doing for the past 6+ months and so far has the best way to "stretch" my watercolor paper. Longevity of the paper is still to be determined for this untraditional, but very effective way of "stretching" But I've found this method has been the best way to work with my watercolor paper completely flat even if you work with very wet techniques. I use both Arches and Fabriano 140lb. Cold Press watercolor paper sheets. 1.) I wet my paper on both sides then set it aside. 2.) I then use a wallpaper adhesive (Roman Pro-543 Universal Wallpaper Adhesive...I'm pretty heavy handed with the stuff and cover beyond the size of my precut watercolor paper I'll be working on.) I brush the adhesive onto a clean non-porous surface. (I've cut down a large piece of kitchen table laminate and adhered that to a drawing board so it's lays flat and it's sturdy but still light weight.) But any clean non-porous surface would do just fine. 3.) I place my wet watercolor paper onto the non-porous surface where I brushed the wallpaper adhesive on. I then use a clean flat watercolor brush to press the paper and work all around the papers surface and edges just so I know the paper and the adhesive meet every bit of the underside of the watercolor papers surface. (Might be an unnecessary step but it's quicker then stapling or pinning or taping from my experience.) 4.) I dab the excess water off and can start painting right away or let it fully dry overnight. (Taping the border where the edge of the paper and the non-porous surface meet is a good idea because if water seeps underneath the adhesive can come undone. But if you're careful or just tape it down you shouldn't have a problem.) 5.) This is the most important step...Removing the watercolor painting from the wallpaper adhesive without damaging or ripping your work after you're done. I use a piece of Yupo paper a strip that is about 2" longer than the Height of my painting. Hold the strip of Yupo with both my index and thumb and I slide it underneath a corner and slowly work my way to the center and out the other side. Watercolor paper lifts from the adhesive and non-porous surface with ease. I clean the non-porous surface with water and a cloth and repeat. Hopefully someone finds this helpful as much as I have. Any questions doing this method shoot me a message and I'll gladly help! One Last Tip: Do some practice pieces before tackling a finished piece. It took me a couple times to get it right but so far worth the effort and is now my primary way of "stretching" my watercolor paper!

  Here are my sketches for Assignment 1 of Effective Vehicle Design class by Shane Hunt. It was fun to manipulate the look of the cars to give a different feeling/personality. +++++++++++ Part 1: I sketched a squashed, stretched out, speeding and aggressive car, respectively. +++++++++++ Part 2: This is the weak vs strong stance. The weak car is cowering down low, the headlights (eyes) are wide open and apart, the front bonnet and side mirrors are angled away and flattened. The tyres are narrow. The strong car has an upright stance, the bonnet and side mirrors are upright, the tyres are chunky, the front grill is big and heavy looking, and I added a roof-box, to show just how strong this car is. ++++++++++++++ Part 3: Angle I went for a 'from below' angle for the sea-plane and a 3/4 angle for the container ship. Thanks for looking, any comments/suggestions welcome.

  After finishing and scanning the watercolor painting I decided to try some details in pencils and some white gel pen, not sure it makes it better or worse, but had to try it! Just the watercolor - it lacked definition too much, with the pencil work I think I went too far. What do you think would have worked better? (besides painting the thing again in a more planned and careful way?)

  Hello, I am new to SVSLearn. I have been working my way through the curriculum and have been really enjoying it. I thought I would try posting some of my sketches up on the forum. I use pencils, ink and coloured pencils for rendering. Please excuse my messy handwriting! So here goes... Thank you for viewing my work. Feedback is most welcome.

  @Heather-Boyd nice work 'carving' the shape out of the block. It looks believable and seaworthy. I feel like the nose of the ship in the top image should curve inward more as it gets closer to the water. Thanks for your feedback on mine too.

  I finished this course a month or so ago. It is a challenge! You did great. It's funny how hard it can be to try something new when we know initially it will be super challenging but it's only by putting in that time that we see improvement. So, great work! Congrats!

  Hi, I have been working on this a while. My husband is an engineer so he truly is no help to me. I would like to know what I can improve here. I spent a lot of time on shape and proportion. Mrs. Potts looks really out of whack but I struggled with her spout quite a bit. I love these classes and this character design class was a lot of fun. I try to work on the classes as much as I can between being a mom to 4 kiddos (one with special needs) so I am glad when I get to do what I love.

  @Lisa-Clark I recently completed this course and found the silhouette and household object exercises most helpful for shape ideation and breaking out of preset notions of what a vehicle design might look like. In my experience the silhouette exercise is a way to quickly generate multiple shape designs for a potential subject or object. It also provides a strong read of the shape by completely shading it black (although I find mixing in some white space can help communicate form nuances). I typically view the silhouette as a contour/outline of the potential vehicle drawing but it could also be just a portion of it, that you would subsequently build a more detailed line drawing/sketch around. If I recall correctly the instructor doesn’t demo the silhouette method to sketch step but does show the gesture line method to sketch step. All three of the shape ideation methods from the course (silhouette, gesture lines, household object ) follow the same pattern: take an abstract shape, and build a full sketch around that, either incorporating all or part of the abstract shape into the vehicle design. It’s just a jumping off point to get you out of the box on the vehicle shape/form. The silhouette concept is also demonstrated in the Prop design fundamentals course. Hope that is helpful.

  @Jim-Algar I have the same trouble! I am dying for a way to make a "watchlist" or something. I'm trying to incorporate some of the other classes in with the Foundations curriculum, and it's so hard to keep track of! I've just been keeping a list on my computer... but then I have to go search out each class, and it's kind of a pain. Let me know if you come up with a better solution!

  Did a little more detailed sketch over for my book dummy. Anything stand out that I should look twice at? I’ve still got half left obviously but for the most part I’ve stuck to the original sketch thumbs. Feedback welcomed! Apologies if the upload quality is bad when I get to more finished stages I’ll will be sure work it out!
