Thank you @alicia! I thought about replacing with my cereal + milk piece, but I can’t help how much I love the pirate girl piece.

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!

@Shyam-Sailus Thanks!

The drawings are really great. I can't even believe that people who have not graduated from some special art schools can draw like that. By the way, if you are an artist and at the same time a student and it is difficult for you to combine study with your hobby, then when you have a lot of homework, which is to write research papers, then you can use the site, which helps students in writing papers for which students pay rather big money because the quality of the written papers is really decent.

@Chip-Valecek Thank you!

Sorry for the delay! Hope I can still get in! Thanks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/camila_illustration/ Behance: https://www.behance.net/camila_illustration!

@Kiddo said in Ellipses, cylindres, 3D shapes [beginner]: @gavpartridge I thought so too, but Jake advises against it, I guess it just gets more difficult to get rid of the ruler in the future if you start with it in the beginning. In art there are many paths to the same location. I can say from experience that it is not hard to ditch the ruler. Not saying that Jake is wrong. His method worked for him. But I would second the advice to start with a ruler and a nice sharp pencil.

Thanks a lot @Elisheba ! really appreciate your comment

Here are 2 of my recent pieces I’m quite proud of

@Olga-Herrera That's awesome news! Best of luck

I thought in the past the posting deadline was the 10th of every month. Oh well, no biggie. I'll post here in the off-chance that they'll still take submissions. The first one is from the Dec 2019 SVS contest, and the second one is just something I came up with that I ended up using in my SCBWI conference portfolio.

@AustinShurtliff Thank you! I'm so glad, because I want to create more greeting cards that are more illustrative as I try to "level up" with SVS. Thanks!
