@KathrynAdebayo Thankyou

@Nyrryl-Cadiz thank you so much! @Tiffany-Thomas thank you very much! I hope you liked some of my insights! @chrisaakins thanks my friend! I really hope they do!

Thanks @David! And congratulations @Joel-Cockrell! I really love your tavern design. I’m also a father and husband and often struggle with the notion of not having enough time to create art and “catch up”, so to speak. But I can only do what I can, and I’ve found peace in just enjoying the learning and getting just 1% better each day or month. Also agree that fitness and outdoors have a huge influence on sparking creativity, especially nature walks! Great interview!

@lizardillo & @Mara-Price Thanks so much!!!

Bruce Herman, the professor I quoted, let me know I missed a small but significant part of his quote: "...when all the great artists leave your studio one by one, and then YOU leave-that's when you're doing your best work." It's about losing yourself. Thanks!

@Gaelle-Grizzly I loved your interview. Can't wait to read your illustrated novels! Hope my intro wasn't too cheesy.

Great job! I love how your characters turned out. This was fun for me to see as I'm in the middle of this class right now! The class really is helpful and I feel more confident having a process to follow for character design. Thanks for sharing!

@Casual-T Thanks a lot!` Appreciate the opinion! @Jacy13 Thanks a lot Jacy! @Kevin-Longueil Thanks Kevin!Oh I see! I ll check the post about the contest! @Melissa-Bailey-0 Thanks a lot Melissa! Noted!!!

Inspirational interview, and beautiful artwork! Thanks for sharing... -T

Congrats to the featured students! I really enjoyed reading everyone’s response on how SVS inspired growth and improvement. All the pieces are amazing!

@Drawboy77 thanks my friend!

@DaveLeekArt Thank you! That's so nice to hear

Inktober is over and done!! I must say, this was the best so far. I went for the official prompt list. Had lot of ideas for most of the prompts, and while some were narrowing down my concepts, others made me come up with pretty interesting concepts. Also went the digital way, because that was the domain I wanted to get better at, since it s my main tool when working. Speed was a big big thing that I wanted to improve. Tried so many new stuff that otherwise someone d have to commission me to do them(ehem, comfort zone) and had real fun overall. How did your inktober go?What will you do next?? Feel free to post your full collection here,compilation of all 31 days! Also include your handles,so others can see you!

10/10! I agree with everyone! Accessibility is very important and I'd love to see these courses expand to meet the needs of as many folks as possible!

Thanks so much guys! Pointing out the more 3D elements vs flat was something I couldn’t pinpoint but was struggling with. And concept/story has been my biggest struggle. But it’s good to know the other elements I have been focusing on (composition, value and rendering) are working. Watching everyone else’s critiques was helpful too. I definitely hope to see more of this style of critique if y’all have the time for them

honestly I am kind of bummed that the blogpost for this never got shared through any of the SVS social media channels.

Here are a few I have worked on recently.

Congratulations! This is very nice!

Hey everyone, here's my submission for August. Enjoy!

@LisaF thanks!
