MAY CONTEST: ISOLATION

[Laurel Aylesworth]

@chrisaakins Thank you. I tried David Hohn's technique after watching his In the Studio demo: bringing in a traditional texture into Photoshop, adding layer masks and modifying them. I've been working on blending traditional with digital and his technique really resonating with me -- and it's a more efficient way of working than I had been in the past. Here's a link to his demo if you haven't watched it:

Hello friends!

This is my first time posting and my first time drawing a car! Woohoo!

I hope this whole quarantine business is treating you all well. It has sure shaken things up with my family and, in a way, it is extremely healing.

Stay safe, stay well!

Hi Guys!
Finally! I finished my illustration of isolation...even though this are difficult times, I think we can use this isolation to think, meditate, improve ourselves...be within us. BTW, I've seen amazing work so far and I'm excited to see the rest.

Back to a traditional image after trying digital for a while. So many great images this month.

First time entering! This is my interpretation of how I'm feeling about isolation - 'Bored to Stone'. Good luck everybody, some amazing entries

@Tom-Shannon love this. Pencil shading, colors, mood - spot on. And we can all empathize with that ghost

[JanaZu]

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forum, first contest submission and first photoshop drawing. It's so nice to see such a supporting and uplifting community. I'm taking a few classes on SVSlearn and hope to engage more with the forum soon. Congrats everyone for the amazing job, it's so inspiring to see your drawings!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks very much!

There are many things good and bad about isolation, some important and some trivial.

[drawnbyshawn]

Ok, enough tinkering with it. I think I'm ... done.

[carrieannebrown]

Can I ask how the top 16 are chosen? Are they just picked out by the judges (Will/Jake) or is it based on votes, etc?

[JennyJones]

@carrieannebrown they are picked by the judges. They choose based on how well the the piece fits the prompt, composition, rendering, and of course, what they like. The final winners are chosen by votes squared off against each other in a bracket ( like “The Sweet 16”.) That’s my understanding. I hope it helps.
