Our SVS Virtual Studio January 2🥳2😃!

@Braden-Hallett I am looking to buy a printer this year as well. I mainly want to print sketches on watercolor paper and painted over. I am also looking into the print quality that I can sell prints in the art and craft market.

Just curious: does your eco-tank printer takes thick watercolor paper?

It'll take the watercolour paper that epson makes (which is pretty reasonably priced for watercolour, I think). It only comes in 13x19 sheets though so there'd need to be some trimming.

In general inkjet printers won't take any ol' kind of paper. They need a coating for the ink and the printer likes to know precisely how thick the paper it's being fed is.

I've tried jamming just regular ol' watercolour paper in my wide format epson printer and it was an unhappy camper in many ways.

So I suppose my answer is 'yes, but only this very specific watercolour paper'

It's this stuff. https://epson.ca/For-Work/Paper/Pro-Imaging/Watercolor-Paper-Radiant-White/m/S041351

I hope you guys like it.
Cheers!

My girls created some characters for a Gravity Falls rpg we are playing and I drew them out per their descriptions.

I’m playing with paper — I inked and painted (watercolor) these three fox pups on Bristol Board and now will try them on hot press and then cold press papers to compare. The Bristol board takes ink really well but is fussier to paint so it will be interesting to see whether the hot press is any different.

That's gotta be a crazy fun game to play

[TessaW]

@Braden-Hallett Well, we haven't actually played yet. None of us have played an rpg before, and there isn't a game set up for Gravity Falls- so we've been doing prep work and research for it. That process has been a lot of fun though! We'll see how it goes.

'kids on bikes' is a great roleplaying system (super simple) that's aimed at younger RPG players. It's also thematically VERY gravity falls

I was digging through the hard drive and found an image I was going to do for the 'old and new' challenge about a year and a half ago. I really like the concept, so I'm redoing it I think it'll make a near postcard!

[KathrynAdebayo]

You’ve really improved since then! Woah! Super cool!

[braden H]

@KathrynAdebayo Thanks You don't realize how much improvement's happened until you dig through old files.

Playing with ideas for Valentine’s Day. Got a bit stuck in the 80’s

Hi I'm new here. This year's goal is to start indie publishing a book with my wife. I am pretty new to both painting and working digitally so I have been trying to get a better handle on both. Here is a start of a concept dragon and a tree sketch.

@Braden-Hallett This is so lovely. Good luck

I am working on my fundamentals. This year is the year, I have decided to finally go for my dreams, therefore need to get my basics right

[burvantill]

I just submitted my application to the Adobe Creative Residency. [screaming excitedly inside my head]. Now I'm going to forget all about it and continue doing the work I was planning on doing anyway.

Random color study, my thought was what would happen if I use an unusual color for grass and sky.

@Braden-Hallett Your old man character has so much personality! I love it.

I finished my fox cub comparison on Bristol board, hot press, and cold press but have to wait for daylight to try photographing them to see which works best so in the meantime, I drew and painted some bunnies in Procreate.
