Complete! #draw50things project finished.

Just wanted to stick my head in to say that I love your piece! You have hit this assignment spot on. I did a draw over just to show that you can push it even further with the foreground and you can get even more objects in close if you wanted.

@Will-Terry Hi Will! Thank you so much for your encouragement and your draw over. I love that idea and will continue to work on it. I am really excited to finalize everything and put it in my portfolio. I really enjoyed your class and learned a ton from it. Thanks again!

@LauraA Thank you! It's been very challenging, but fun. Good luck with your 25 things as well. Have you posted it on the forum? I'd love to take a look.

@JoshuaDages This looks so awesome! Very inspiring

@Kiel-Ewing Thanks Kiel!

Wow this looks awesome! Such a great idea - I love that everything's angled and all the details you've put in. Makes you wonder who owned the ship and what happened. I can almost hear the timbers creaking. Fab!

@ruth Sorry, just saw this! Thank you so much! I am really happy with the idea and am getting close to completion so stay tuned!

Hi Everyone!

Here it is! My #draw50things illustration is complete! After months of work (probably should get a little faster, haha) I'm ready to put it in my portfolio.

Thanks to everyone's help and comments with this (@LauraA @Will-Terry @Kiel-Ewing @ruth @marek-halko @Jeremy-Ross @txels @Jacy13 @Jabbernewt @Ruth-Tripp @Heather-Boyd @chrisaakins) and anyone else I've missed!

Let me know what you think!

@JoshuaDages I think this drawing is super cool! Well done on incorporating ALL the things and still making it a readable and super interesting to look at type of piece! Awesome work

Jeremy Ross · 21 Dec 2020, 19:03

Nicely done @JoshuaDages!

JoshuaDages · 21 Dec 2020, 21:53

@Jacy13 Thank you so much! It's been super fun and I'm glad to have it done. I still see little things I want to change, but at some point you just have to say "it's good!"

JoshuaDages · 21 Dec 2020, 21:55

@Jeremy-Ross Thank you!

@JoshuaDages I was wondering what happened to you and this work some time back. I like you kept to one one colour and I love the choice, it's a cool and old looking blue.

@JoshuaDages I'm so impressed with these 50 things illustrations. Yours is really outstanding! Your tight detailed rendering is so well done and complete. I struggle with that. This makes me want to go and finish that class.

JoshuaDages · 26 Dec 2020, 21:04

@Heather-Boyd Thank you so much! I went back-and-forth with the "blue only" look, but like the way it turned out as well!

JoshuaDages · 26 Dec 2020, 21:08

@djlambson Thank you! I really liked the project idea and is one of the reasons I signed up for SVS in the first place.

I usually don't do super detailed pieces like this either, but I took it one section at a time, and was really proud how it turned out. You totally should continue with the class and I'd love to see what your looks like!

Thanks again!
