Whoa!!! I love it. The worn out texture is nice. Kind of reminds me of my favorite book. Good stuff.

Hey, long time guys, what´s up?...
I've been dealing with a lot of things for a long time. 2020 has been a difficult year, and 2021 does not seem to be much different. I think it has been especially difficult for us who draw, paint, design. Getting mind-setting back is a complex task. After some time away, I have returned to my tablet, to draw and paint again. Just for the fun of it. And it has helped me a lot to overcome anxiety. A friend told me that anxiety is like being everywhere and nowhere. And he told me that I should draw something on it. From that conversation was born "Tales From Nowhere". This is the first illustration that I do about that idea. A journey that takes us through fantasy, science fiction, where terror, doubt, insomnia, but also the desire to overcome anxiety, internal struggle, hope, friendship. Different paths that we must travel. What do you think of this first illustration? Is there anything that can improve it? I am working with Affinity Designer, as I have found it tremendously versatile in its version 1.9 (2021). Thank you for your opinions and comments, be sure, they will be taken into account. Thank you. ALVAROTALES FROM NOWHERE.jpg

Hey guys! This is a design for all my fellow Dnd fans. I feel like the things I like to draw are pretty vast, but I'm enjoying it very much. What do you guys think? Would you buy this sticker?

@Larue Thx 🙂 Been doing sort of a self imposed lighting experimentation bender for March.

And here is the line art. Not sure what to go with yet 🤔

@Niels haha, I totally get it! Good luck, can't wait to see your final version ;).

@Matthew-Oberdier @davido Yeah I agree with both of you, i guess some things just flew over my head because maybe it was a bit overwhelming or maybe i rushed the process a bit. Thank you guys!

@Matthew-Oberdier Thanks. Just sketching, things always seem to stiffen up in the refined drawing phase. Starting to enjoy just coloring sketches.

@NessIllustration XD i was making it thinking maybe ill get away with it go crazy and in my mind it was always sasying its to crowed tom!!! so you just confimed my dreaded suspicion XD time to make it more tight knitted and cozier haha!!
thanks for feedback 🙂

@demotlj thanks for the info Laurie. I signed up with southernfx’s course this morning, before I saw your post so phew! Glad to hear you think it is great. I was watching so many of their YouTube videos I figured might as well go for it.

I think I am starting to figure out the gizmo tool, I moved things off the wrong axis by accident before I realize what I am doing. Still tricky. I will try making that adjustment re camera vs sculpting that you suggested.
I am already finding my drawing brain is thinking more in 3D terms than before I started playing with Nomad, so am really excited to see where this takes me.

I really like it but I’m not sure about him being bald lol just a personal preference though. Maybe a little hat?

Congratulations! You must be really proud of all your hard work!

I ended up going tadpole because amphibians are the cutest to me and I had a book idea about him. I’m about 3/4 done I think? Any criticism welcome, still time to change a bit BD0B051C-A980-4368-8739-F376D4FCF5BE.jpeg

Here is the comparison again:

@Emma-Echter thank you! On to the next one...

For the first time ever I did a redraw. I drew this last April 2020 and did the redraw February 2021. I surprised myself so I thought it would be fun to share and celebrate a mini milestone.

@ruth You beat me to it. The arms/legs in a running pose are pet peeve of mine.

Hi everyone, it's been a while. I've pretty much redone most of image 1. I wanted to make it cleaner with the painting style as it was kinda messy. I've taken into account all your notes and applied them to it so I hope you see an improvement.
I could write out everything that's been changed but you should be able to see for yourself 🙂

I'm personally really happy with how this has turned out. I took way more time to pay more attention to detail and I think it's paid off. I just now need to match the rest of the illustrations to this 😳(11 so far...and that's only half of the planned amount).

I have a question actually.
What dimensions do you generally go for when illustrating for a picture book? In pixels and/or inches...
I've been illustrating at a much higher pixel dimension as I like to really zoom in and go into detail but it obviously increases the file size quite significantly and too often makes the app crash on my tablet.
I've played around with making the canvas properties smaller of the existing illustration, but because it was originally done in a much higher resolution, it distorts the pencil lines a lot.
Or do you know of a way to compress the file size without losing picture quality?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
