Our SVS Virtual Studio MAY 2019
-
Hello my fellow illustrators!
The SVS Virtual Studio has been so popular that we are going to make a new thread each month for it now.Imagine you are walking through a studio silently looking over people’s shoulders at their work. This is NOT a place for critiques. You may applaud, encourage, ooh and ah only.
What is everyone working on right now?

I’m working on some pencil drawings for the back of my postcards. This will be on the back of my 50 things self portrait postcard. -
I like to take a day once a week and do a drawing for myself. Here are two from the past couple weeks. You can also find these on my instagram. I try to post them on Mondays.
-
I'm working on my environment design at the moment.
-
@Jason-Bowen thats really cool.

Postcard 1 finished.
If anyone is interested, here is a link to a great resource for postcard information. Lots of illustrator interviews specifically about their mailings.

I’m glad you started a new thread, Lisa @burvantill The studio thread is such a great place to see what people are working on and where we can post stuff that doesn’t really need an entire thread to itself but that is still fun to share.
Here is the current piece I’m working on. The caption will be something like: “Chepi was lucky Lex the Lion had just started a diet that morning.” (I’m using reference from the Algonquin area of Canada so I chose an Algonquin name for the squirrel.) Next, a value study.

@burvantill thanks

How have I only just come across these Studio threads, this is a great idea! I love seeing what people are working on.
I'm currently working on a portfolio piece from a story idea that I've got called 'Puffin Island', still working on the details of the story but it's basically set on an small island off the coast of Scotland in which Sophie McTavish, her Uncle Ned (or her Dad, not decided yet) and the dog, Rupert, live in and man the lighthouse for the island. I've got story ideas which include merpeople, a seaweed monster, a giant octopus etc but I'm just trying to finally write it all down as a whole story rather than bits and bobs, and maybe they'll turn into a few different stories
There's actually an island off Anglesey, North Wales (where I live in the UK) called Puffin Island, but sadly there aren't any actual Puffins on it but I've always loved the idea, so each illustration I do for the story will have several Puffins included somehow

I'm working on a painting inspired by the Wisteria vines I saw so many of in Germany recently. They;ve become one of my favourite flowers! The man's gonna stay faceless, like a faded memory. I've been reading Murakami.
