SVS Virtual Studio AUGUST 2023

[jdubz]

@Sara-Therese-Art I've just been using photoshop for like 20 years, so it's the most comfortable software I can work in. I just know every part of it top to bottom. I think compared to Procreate though Photoshop has gotten pretty far behind. Procreate is solely a drawing program so that's not all that shocking really.

Clip Studio is similarly a pure illustration software. The brushes to me feel a lot more dynamic like what I'm getting with Procreate.

Clip Studio, from a graphic novel/comic perspective, is a massive time saver. Flatting out characters, comic panels, word balloons - all these things take forever in Photoshop comparatively. That's the main thing I'm switching for - those workflows would take easily 2x as long in Photoshop.

2nd piece. A character I've been working on for a story I am planning on putting together that I hope to get some headway on this year.

@MerryMary Thanks

[Sara Therese Art]

@jdubz Thank you for this explanation! Makes sense. Like you, I've been using Photoshop for a loooong time (started with CS2 when it came out ) and because I'm so comfortable, I tend not to branch out. But I did teach myself Procreate and Rebelle 6 this year and I'm so happy I did. These two programs are now about 80% of my workflow!

And another lunch tree sketch. These tend to have to happen fast but it makes it kind of fun seeing how well I can capture it in 30-40 minutes.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Portfolio piece #10

Have to stop tinkering with this one as it's diminishing returns, hair is right proper difficult. Especially when it has eyeballs in it!

[Robyn Hepburn]

@Jason-Crowley Yup, that's what I've always said about hair...

Just before August ends, thought I'd sneak these on here.
A few Jungle Book illustrations for an Instagram challenge, but also for my portfolio (Instagram can be good motivation sometimes).

(Planning to go back and do the title better.)

My favourite one:

Did anyone else here join the #bksjunglebook challenge?

Getting a lot of enjoyment out of these trees and really enjoy playing with graphite and water soluble graphite. So far these have been done from photo reference but this one I just made up as I went.

[Kevin Longueil]

@Blitz55 Nice!

[jdubz]

Kinda days 5-9. Wanted to do something that was less of a spot illustration and worked on this for the last few days. This was one I had sketched but decided to redo it in Clip Studio. Still figuring out how to get cloud shapes to do what I want in CSP, but it's starting to come together

@Mimi-Simon Time traveling Barbie?

This post is deleted!

@Jim-Gleeson Barbie has been around since the early sixties so i supposed she she could exist any time between then and now. For this I drew her in my favorite outfit from the recent movie and listening to several of the songs that appeared there-in.

@Mimi-Simon this is great publicity for the course and for your talent as well!
