@Joshua-Chennault thank you. I ll try that in a few days time if they don't answer already on the forum

@Lee-White will svs have a bluesky account? Substack account? Taht would be a neat way to keep in touch for some messaging and between members as well.

Hey Everyone! I’ve personally been MIA on this platform for a bit, but I hope I can contribute this month. That said, let’s share our work for December! I made a Christmas card—Did you? I’m excited to see what everyone is working on, festive or otherwise. As always, this is a place for admiration, not critiques.

Hey, I think this is a great start. Two things I might change slightly are to further simplify and strengthen the shape of the mouth, and adjust the shape of the neck. It’s quite a bit thicker in the photo. Also, when drawing the figure, if a squashing action happens on one side of a limb/joint/part of the torso/neck, it will generally always be mirrored by a stretch on the other side and vice versa. Emphasizing this can give your characters more energy.

Hey everyone! the new site is live and we are starting to see people filter in there. the site is everything we wanted and more! The abilty to interact with teachers and each other is just incredible and we are super happy with it. We hope to see you guys in there!

For current svs members- you will receive an email very shortly if you haven't already inviting you to the new space. Once there, you will be grandfathered into the middle tier which is a great place to check things out. If youy want to see more pro demos, weekly zoom sessions with teachers, etc. you can upgrade to the higher tier. You can be grandfathered back into the mid tier at your current pricing if you decide not to stay in the high tier.

For new members- come on and join us! There is no better time than now. The link to this forum has been removed from the main website and will slowly be phased out over the next month. This forum will shut down at midnight Dec. 31. So now might be the time to turbocharge your illustration work and your community by joining us on the new site! Check it out: www.svslearn.com

Hope to see all of you in there!! : )

@Adam-Thornton-0 great question! let me look into that!

@Jake-Parker thank you for the response! I am still working on the assignment so I am glad to know it will be transferred to the new site in case I need refresh any concept!

@_sadira_ Thanks!

@Mimi-Simon Thank you so much for your update! Hopefully, things will progress smoothly toward an agreement, and you'll be able to focus solely on illustration-related work. Of course, it would be much nicer to know by the end of the call whether things are moving forward or not, so there’s no need to dwell on it afterward. Also, thank you for sharing what the agent asked—it’s helpful to prepare for next week and brush up on my English skills as well. 🙂

Earlier I invited people to join the 3pp premium discord but that is shutting down too with all the new SVS changes so I created a new unofficial 3pp fans discord. Feel free to join if you want another place to chat with fellow kid lit people. Join link here: https://discord.gg/mY4XADKr

Hey, I did a little intro with an illustration a little bit ago but figured I would something in here with my revised piece! I'm Sadira, a concept artist student that's somewhat relatively new to art (especially digital) just looking for ways to improve and meet some cool artist people 🙂 Here's a revision of one of my latest works(and thank you to do those that helped with feedback!!)

@Meg-Clayburn if you're worried about him being too centered try doing a few mini thumbnails just playing around with the composition and rearrange some things, try looking at the rule of thirds or other common set ups, I have similar thoughts about my own work and try these methods, hope it helps!! 🙂 🐸

@Gabby-Correia great piece!! love seeing the process of your designs and how it developed 🙂

@jenn if you have new questions, we invite you to ask the questions in the new community. technology and society changes and what was right 5 years ago may not be right now. We would be happy to answer any questions!

@ChloeGreenbergArt I like how you used warmer colors for the girl/harp/music to make her stand out fro her cooler surroundings. Great way to bring her to focus with all the textures and movement around her!

@_sadira_ Thank you so much! 😃

@_sadira_ This looks better! I wouldn't change a lot, maybe a little bit more detail in the background and maybe some other magical creature with the okapi, but otherwise it looks great!

@Lee-White thank you so much!
