July 2024 Submissions - How To Fix Your Art
-
@annastenger Oh that's awesome! Love your shapes on the animals and especially the truck. The basic lighting and limited palette works so well. Good work!
-
@thomas-young Thank you! I always have trouble with local color selection so I try to get around that by picking funky palettes [:
-
@jahn Oh thanks!! I loved the action of yours...The raccoon tossing the garbage is just perfect!

@AustinShurtliff I couldn't finish this one because my elbow is broken and I won't have my right hand back until at least halfway through August, but I think I'm going to post what I was able to do anyway, because the main thing I wanted feedback on was the story and composition.
I'm sort of embarrassed because it's still very rough, and it looks like one mermaid is diving over the old man's head, which I hope I could've fixed, but since this is all I can do I'll post it. Also, I was hoping to find a way to make it obvious that the seller herself was at at least a part-time mermaid.
I look forward to seeing the critiques!

Here’s my take on this months prompt. I feel like something is missing though, and I cant put my finger on it. I’ve tried softer line work (pencil), more details in the background, less details in the background, but I just can’t seem to get it to a stage where it looks done, but not overdone 🫠 Any feedback or advice is much appreciated

@LauraA So sorry about your arm, hope you are well soon! I like how the image turned out, it’s much clearer than the first version and it’s a fun idea

Here's my entry for this month, hope you like it!

This was a fun prompt! Wish I had not procrastinated but I’m excited for next month’s critique

Hiya everyone. I've not been active on SVS for a little while but I listened to the podcast the other day where Lee was talking about this prompt and he described almost the exact image I drew in 2022! So I thought I would submit it
It probably won't count as it's over 2 years old but I couldn't miss the chance to submit it after I heard his description! This is "Chaffy's BirdBox" (the bird inside is a Chaffinch - I'm from the UK).Any feedback and critique always welcome and it would be interesting to redraw it based on the critique and see the difference.
Thank you!!

@lizardillo He says it near the end of Is My Work Ready for Market?

@maarcos-l This took me a beat to take it all in but then I chuckled put loud
-
@Tash Your storytelling is hilarious
-
@Sunniva This is beautiful and super clear! Take or leave my thoughts: Some of the folks on the ground look a little floaty because the shadows are so subtle. They don’t need to be darker but my brain wants them a little more solid under the feet of the figures.

@Juleesa this is so clever and well done!

Hi Guys. There have been so many fun and unique takes on this months prompt. Some of them are super clever and I wish I'd thought of them beforehand! This is my illustration for July. I had the idea of a truck selling "Food for Thought" and even though we know it's not very good for us, we keep going back for a second helping
Keep up the great work guys.
