SVS Studio SEPTEMBER 2024

Work In Progress close-up of my submission for Octobers HTFYA. I'm realllllly trying to take my time with this one and make it as good as I am capable of doing. I often start to speed up once the illustration is going well, but this time I'm forcing myself to be disciplined. Getting the right balance between stylisation and realism is proving to be tricky too, but I am pleased with the direction it's going. If I had to give ONE tip to a fellow artist it would be to take your time, and spend at least 80% of your brain effort on the first 20% of the illustration process. I've found that the images were I have really nailed the concept, composition and designs early on, turn out the best finished pieces by FAR. I have to force myself to take my time, EVERY time. I get too excited. -

@Tom-Harshberger it's really good mate. I struggle with this problem all the time. More textured brushes help. I downloaded some of Justin Gerrard's brushes and they make it easier to avoid the smooth look. I do master studies of images that have the brush work I like as well.

@MarcRobinson ah thanks I'm going to look into that. I love his art but didn't realize he did brushes. Thanks!

@Zachary-Schrage I love your pen and ink work. I'm curious -- is this traditional or digital, and how long did it take you to do this piece? It is so intricate and detailed that I'm guessing we are talking weeks rather than hours!
-
@demotlj 100 % traditional dip pen and ink! uhhh took me a few days. They dont take as long as they appear
