NOVEMBER CONTEST: SLOWVEMBER

[karammitchell]

@alicia thank you so much! I'm in deer creek/Edmond area but I'm originally from big Newkirk!!

[Chip Valecek]

So many great pieces! Here is mine, I almost forgot today is the last day of November.

Gary enjoys looking for different bugs.

I ended up going a different direction than I originally planned, but I’m really happy with this one.

I am a painter attempting to make the transition to illustration, and I know I have a long way to go to do this more effectively. But since I was asked in early November to respond to Isaiah 11, 1-10 for an Advent program in December, I chose to illustrate it somewhat narratively, using the Slowvember process and having this challenge as my goal!

@Chip-Valecek haha i almost forgot too because im bad with dates and thought I had 1 more day.

@Aleksey yesterday I was thinking the same thing... until my wife informed me I better get a move on!

[ArtofAleksey]

@theprairiefox we did it

[ajillustrates]

Back into the contest after a year! Gonna try to do this every month moving forward to build up my portfolio.

[theprairiefox]

@Aleksey I am done, but I got to let it dry enough to scan... almost there.

[ArtofAleksey]

@theprairiefox it's ok it's still 10 in Arizona.

@Aleksey It's 9pm where I am. So I have 2 hours?

[ArtofAleksey]

@CLCanadyArts quite honestly I have NO idea. Time is relative?

Tried my hand at a historical piece to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad across America. This piece really pushed me.

My first attempt at an SVS contest! I went back to a previous piece I spent a month on in October and reworked it a bit to meet this deadline. I may continue with my initial project from November at a later time but right now i'm trying to finish some full color spreads from this story I wrote so I can send out my dummy book! Everyone's work looks great! I loved seeing everyones progress. Wish I had photos to share of my thumbnails and character design from this spread but they are all packed away. I think the most beneficial part of #slowvember for me was @Lee-White Questionnaire, it asked some really thought provoking questions that really helped me understand how I want to move forward as an artist.

This was a great contest this month. I had a lot of fun and learned soooo much.

I enjoyed putting all the contest energy towards a project I was working on anyway!

Very pleased with the results. Thanks @Lee-White and all those that gave feedback on the forums.

@Jonas-Zavacky This is just great. Love it.

-Edit, smaller file size to meet the 500kb requirement.

Lack of time this month. I started and finished this today, only got about 5 hours into it. I see many things I could touch up and refine. Will take this further later. Pencil sketch, digital colors.

This is my first time participating in a contest here, but I've been listening to the podcasts and lessons for awhile now.

I thought a lot about what subject matter was inspiring to me, and so I chose to illustrate this moment with my kids. I wanted it to feel like the moment I walked in and saw them, so I was going for a kind of private peaceful moment. Also, since I tend to avoid backgrounds I took that as part of my own personal challenge as well.
