Our SVS Virtual Studio JUNE 🌞 2019

[Susan Marks]

@burvantill While technically June--I usually wrap up my previous month with a "top 3"--my favorite, best images I drew in the past month, and then I post this as the co ver to that month's journal.

@Susan-Marks it was a wedding gift. The pages were random but I used the titles to accent the beauty of marriage.

@jwing Thanks so much! I'm having fun in that "alternate universe" Oz!

I started taking a class in traditional Korean ink painting last month. I thought it would be a cool expansion of my artistic tool set. It’s turned into a bit of an obsession. So here’s the studio wall with practice exercises and a couple experiments. This month, I’ll be working to bring more of the ink painting into my illustration work and a bit more of my illustration style to the ink painting to see if I can find a new middle ground. Fun stuff!

I really struggle with remaining consistent in my cartoon shorthand for specific characters so I used my son as a model and played around with his facial expressions, exaggerating slightly but also trying to keep the same template to get used to the idea.

I'm working on this at the moment. I decided I do too many dark paintings so I am trying to paint on white

Practicing sketching from real life to strengthen my understanding of volumes, depth, light and shadow and building a stronger visual library that I can reference later on in my drawings.

I just finished these portraits for the SCBWI Orlando conference (SHHh - the participants won't see them until this Friday!)

Blending digital oils and using references.

@MichaelaH Thanks. First attempt at a running horse. Looking at it now a shadow to the legs furthest from the viewer would look good.

[Coley]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson this is really sweet and recognizable as your style, I love it!

[Buddy Skelton]

Made a meerkat unicorn for #junicorn.

The art of my exact moment

Getting ready to daylight.

My moonlight hours ...

The idea is this is going to be the under the sea background and will digitally draw the rest of the illustration over the top.

There is a third piece. My mind is going to team them up crop them move them around. We will see how it turns out.

And yes, my space is messy. My vanity, studio and laundry room are all the same space.

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@Coley Thanks. I love that you can recognize my art! That is so good to hear.

[burvantill]

Done!! But I'm gonna do it again. LOL! I like how this turned out, but it took me way too long because I was being precious with it. If this were a page for an actual book job, I would be soooooo far behind schedule.

Like a giant flying capybara

[NelsonYiap]

There's honestly so much talent on these boards! @burvantill your illustration is just amazing. Is this digital or traditional watercolour? Anyhow, here's some insects on a migration with gouache. Enjoy!

@Braden-Hallett

I was looking around for those monkeys...lols than I got it.

[JerrySketchyArt]

Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

[braden H]

@Heather-Boyd Giving brushes and scritchings, of course

@JerrySketchyArt Just blowin' off steam?
