Introduction - hello and nice to meet you!
-
Hi everyone. I'm Janet. I recently signed up for SVS and watched my first critique today which was really inspiring.
I have a biology degree but then studied illustration part-time at Emily Carr University of Art & Design in Vancouver. It was good but not as in-depth and focused as SVS so I'm very happy to be here.
I work as the colourist on the Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy middle-grade graphic novel series from Andrews McMeel. That's been fun, and occasionally rather hair-raising but I have learned so much on the job. Who knew comics flatting was a thing?!
I'm working on developing more of my own stories. I want to improve everything especially my drawing, composition, and character design. I work with ink but also make miniatures which I'm starting to incorporate into my artwork. Not sure where that's all going yet, but it's been pretty fun to play with for now. I'm also interested in editorial illustration.
In the next year my goal is to get a dummy book picture book together to pitch to kidlit agents. I'm also trying to take more risks and put more work out there.

Lol the doughnuts made laugh. Hello and welcome I hope to see more of your stuff cause I'm really liking Jeff.

Wow! Your miniatures are perfectly realistic!
This Jeff character reminds me of Dwight from (the US version of) "The Office" tv show. (Are you sure he's not the Assistant to the night manager? Ha, ha!
)The forum is a good place to put your art out there & ask for feedback. I've received some valuable help and advice from the members here. It's a great group!
I love how detailed and specific the classes are here, too! I really enjoy how SVS offers technical information and intellectual concepts & advice. I also appreciate how they talk about the way things relate to the real world.
I'm kind of sporadic on here (due to my health), but I'll look forward to seeing you around. Good luck with your book--that will be an exciting project!
I missed the live critique, so I'll have to see if it's been posted. It would be fun see an entry from you on the next contest!

Welcome to the forums
! Super neat stuff with the cut out characters. -
Are those donuts real? If not, they sure do look real!
Welcome to the forums fellow Canadian! What is comics flattening? All I can think of (I just realized I can easily google this) is flattening Photoshop layers. Am I right? Now to check google....
-
So fun! You should do more with the paper cut-out thing. It would be fun to see a story in that format.
Glad to have you here.

Great stuff, and the doughnuts are a perfect size for maintaining my waistline
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. -

@J-L-Martin I thought that was a real banana and you took a photo and then put the image together digitally. Amazing miniature food making skills!

@J-L-Martin Very cool

Welcome! Best wishes in all your endeavors! Great art and miniature mash-up... to me it really looks professional. I honestly wasn’t expecting the sketch to become something so awesome, so I was surprised when I scrolled down and saw your supermarket scene. I’m also into miniatures, but just miniature paintings... not as cool as 3D.
