SVS Virtual Studio NOVEMBER 2023

[Sara Therese Art]

Congratulations fellow rabbits! You survived the 31 day Inktober marathon! Now it's SLOWVEMBER! A time to sloooow down and enjoy creating one magnificent piece of work... Please show us your progress as you relax and refine your creation.

Remember: Don't be shy. Just imagine you have invited all your good SVS friends into your studio for a peek at what you're working on. We're all here to admire and encourage. This is NOT a place for critiques. You may applaud, encourage, ooh and ah, only. Relentless kindness.

After finishing my inktober project I already had an Idea for slowvember and Rock fortress and made a thumbnail to start working on the design. Then I listened to the “Slowing it down” podcast where Lee explains what slowvember is really about and I realized I was doing it all wrong. So I kept thumbnailing as I wandered through Ideas in my head. These are the three I liked the most but Ill still research, ingest and wander this week to start thumbnailing it down on next one
-Edited to remove thesuper smudgy thumbnails-
Ill keep sharing more in a separate post

Here’s a sketch I might draw for the next month’s HTFYA prompt: rock fortress

@makekong ugh... I can't see them. ??? They are just smudges on my screen, darn it!

[makekong]

@TheresaMuth sorry they are smudges indeed I only posted the first thumbnails but I am starting on the new ones

[Jacob Norton]

Working on some concepts for HTFYA - quick sketch, value study, and light color study.

I like the concept I've got - a Rock concert in a rock fortress - now I've got some thumbnails to make before I do anything more refined.

I'm not sure if I posted this on the forum already, but here's my Wizard of Oz portfolio piece.

[Jeremy Ross]

I made this illustration last week, but today - wanted to see how it would look as a Picturebook!

Do you want to read it???

My son (11 years old) and I are working on an 8-page bootleg Batman comic together, and we just finished our first pages:

@ajillustrates well this is 100% adorable. Love it!

@ajillustrates Eisner Award right here!

I really want to get better at water color, and just color in general. It’s not the best result painting on sketch paper but I’m trying to follow the idea of just painting and judging myself on them after I’ve gotten some mileage in.

[makekong]

@dinky I can hear this one, nice!

I'm participating in Folktale Week this year, but at my own pace. My day job as a college theatrical costume instructor comes first, and we had a production go up this week so I was busy. Instead of looking at it like a negative (which is what I usually do) I did the requisite mental gymnastics to invert the situation to an opportunity instead, and decided to embrace "The Slow". I'm a big fan of Lee White's "Slowvember" concept, so I'm stretching things out and using the inspirational guides from Deb Stein's StoryCamp Disco and the prompt words when and how I want to use them. So far I've re-conceptualized my adaptation of the Little Red Riding Hood tale, done a ton of really interesting research that is influencing my story development, and even done a couple inspirational illustrations.

Here's the one for "Lost".

[Robyn Hepburn]

@Coreyartus It's great! I love the wood effect and lighting and the fact the the word 'lost' only appears after looking for a little while. And it really looks like a stage scene.
