I wonder what criteria Lee’s going to use to judge this one, it must be tricky as there’s no single prompt. Does he take into account the whole process and journey of the artist too?

Yay, I finished it!! I've really enjoyed this challenge and I never usually spend so long on any one piece but I learnt so much from this process. The preparation seemed very long (I often don't prepare at all) but then the actual painting part seemed to go so much quicker than usual, probably because I'd spend so much time planning. The painting was done with gouache and collage.

@SFischer I love the changes you've made - the bananas are great, such cool expressions. I love the colour palette you chose too.
-
Shannaro! I am done and thrilled with this Slowvember piece!
Love all the entries!
I had decided to make a series of seasonal greeting cards. This one is for the Fall/ Autumn season. Found inspiration in the picture story books of Beatrix Potter (The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin was one of the first books gifted to me as a kid, I still have it), and Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. The colour palette and styles helped me to figure out how to go about laying out the scene. The forest animals included in this card are a red squirrel, a grey cat, a hedgehog, a red fox and a red baby deer.

@peteolczyk this is really nice. I love your colour palette and the movement. Great angle too.
-
@Rachel-Horne I love this illustration. The style you use looks like it’s such a fun way to put a piece together. I feel the atmosphere of Christmas when I look at it.
-
@peteolczyk thanks - I did enjoy making this painting, especially adding the little details!

Here is my entry for this month. So glad I made it.
For the first time, I did my svs monthly challenge with traditional medium. I did not have access to a big enough scanner for today. So the image is taken by iPhone and I did a slight re-touch on photoshop.

aahkay.. I think I will call this one done... I had a great time!
awesome entries everybody! This was a great challenge. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

@Jonas-Zavacky I love the vintage feel in this piece - really nice atmosphere
-
@xin-li Really nice! Lovely scene and poetic image

Hello everyone! First time joining the forum and contest here. So here's my entry. I had this idea of a tree creature (we call him a kapre locally) who got curious about reading books. The little girl is oblivious to his presence but her dog is a bit wary. I hope this comes across. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's entry!!
-
@Rachel-Horne thank you! Maybe it is because i was watching all the vintage Autumn vlogs before adding the details

Hello!
This was such a fun challenge! Never spent so long on a piece. And such wonderful entries by everyone. Some really amazing storytelling and techniques!
Everyone on the forum is so helpful and I'm so glad to be a part of this community of amazing people and grow along with them! Good luck to everyone! Cheers!

Boy did I ever learn a lot from this challenge!
-
Here's my entry! My slowvember was so slow that I only painted one of the four panels that make the book spread
...but I learned so much from it!!
-
Here is my slowvember entry. It's a book spread from my picture book dummy. The young sister keeps annoying her older sister (top bunk) with animal facts from her book. The blue guide line is where the gutter would be so I tried to design the composition to allow for that.

Hello everybody, here is my drawing for the slowvember contest! Hope you like it! It is about Bram Stoker's Dracula and Lucy's transformation into a vampire. I dont't know if you ever read it but it is a masterpiece!!!

Good luck everybody!

My first monthly challenge piece - and my first post. Boom!
A continuation of a piece started in October (like, obvi, right?). Loosely inspired by the hallowed Poe poem.
