@marek-halko haha this is great! I love that you can just see the driver's eyes but there is so much expression in them!

Hey everyone, I’m new to SVS, first time Critique Arena-er but long-time 3PP listener!
I’m a full time makeup artists at the moment, it’s quite tricky doodling on the side of the day job but I’m excited to do some of the SVS courses and I’m hoping they’re going to make me more focused so I can make the most of the free time I have. I did Will’s interior class the other day and loved it, loads I hadn’t considered and I’m looking forward to putting it into practise. I’m scared of environments at the moment but love doing characters, that will probably be obvious from my submission below!
I had to rush to submit it so I want to make a few tweaks to the foreground characters, the flying egg and the posters. If anyone has any other suggestions for edits please let me know! But I made the deadline and I bloody loved drawing this, it was so much fun!
I’ve just been browsing through the forums and there’s so much amazing work on here, it’s super-inspiring! Looking forward to getting to know you all!

@Kim-Rosenlof Whoops, link fixed! my illo work is at www.valerielightillustration.com/project-8
It is SO different working on a big scale. All your mark making is based on body movements and finding the biggest tool for the job so the brush strokes look effortless even if you're standing 60 feet away from the finished piece. One classic way that we enlarge images is by overlaying a grid on top of the reference image, and tacking down a grid made of string all over the backdrop. Then you just have to draw the detail in each 1 ft square, and make it all tie together.

@helenbrady Holy moley, this is amazing!!!! The detail, the composition, the complexity, the CUTENESS. This is incredible and looks like it was taken straight from a children’s book - WOW!!!!

@helenbrady This is funny. Cute idea and the characters are adorable!

@helenbrady Aw this is fantastic! Everyone's expressions are so fun to dive in to!
The ads especially are hilarious
"Burron and Warren building contracts", "Dust Bunnies cleaning services", and "Watership Town wink wink;)"

Hi everyone! Throwing my hat into the ring for the first time. Hoping my concept of childhood imagination comes through. I love all the art I'm seeing and can't wait to catch the next Live Critique Arena. Good luck all!
I forgot to mention that any critiques are welcome. I’d definitely like to push myself but in the right direction. Again… good luck to all in the next CA!

Thanks so much, I really do love drawing characters, it's definitely my favourite thing. Just had a nose at your work and your characters are absolutely adorable! And I've been browsing the past critique arenas and remember your tree house and thinking it was super cool, would have bloody loved that as a kid! Actually, I still do!!!
