I've been working along with Olga Herrera's summer folio prompts and last week was to take a book cover and redo plus change the genre.

[kayleenartlover]

@AngelinaKizz I love this idea! I wanna see a whole book!

[AngelinaKizz]

@kayleenartlover haha thanks! A story of 3 detective pigs would be pretty funny!

[ArtistErin]

@Asyas_illos Good luck with your move Asya! I've been absent from the forum here, just super busy getting ready for the SCBWI conference in September. Thought I'd drop in for a moment and check this thread to see what everyone is up to!

Here's a sample of what I've been working on lately.

[ArtistErin]

@kylebeaudette love this!!!!!

[Robyn Hepburn]

@ArtistErin Aww, what I lovely, friendly bear.

[ArtistErin]

@Robyn-Hepburn Thank you! I see I need to adjust the foot on the bear, it's a little too flat to the ground, do you see anything else that looks off? Making work for my portfolio, upcoming conference in September.

[kayleenartlover]

So I am definitely not ready to start drawing this project, but I am in the very early stages of writing and world building for it... and I just had to share this rough drawing I made

[Miriam]

@Jason-Crowley I really like the glow effect on the characters -- especially the little bubble characters floating in the sky.

I would like to share my latest work, which was basically just character development, not anything special for storytelling.

[Robyn Hepburn]

@ArtistErin Oh, I see! I didn't look properly and thought that was his tail. It might be effective to leave out the foot altogether and just show the bear from behind? Other than that I think the bear is perfect. I notice from your website that your people are usually pretty realistic in their proportions, whereas this girl looks a little more rigid and flat. That arm with the balloons looks quite uncomfortable. Also the bear is looking down at her beautifully, but her gaze leads to his sleeve; maybe tilting her head up a little would also make her look more adoring.
I hope my criticism is helpful! All the work on your portfolio is lovely! My 5year old daughter was admiring them with me.

[Robyn Hepburn]

@kylebeaudette I love your Batmans. They're my favourite Batmans of all the Batmans in existence.

[Robyn Hepburn]

Here's a picture for a colour-in-able invitation I had to produce on a tight deadline, but I'm mostly happy with it. (Don't point out any mistakes please!)

When you invite family over for BBQ and that one cousin skips out on the feast…

[MiaNova]

Re-drew some art I did 4 years ago. I love doing these there so satisfying for some reason (again sorry if the photos upload kinda big)

[Sarah VanDam]

@ArtMelC Fun linework!

[Sarah VanDam]

@kylebeaudette These crack me up! Love it

[Sarah VanDam]

@ArtistErin You’re getting some beautiful textures here! And the bear’s face is really sweet.
