Our SVS Virtual Studio JUNE 2020 ☀️
-
Oh MY Gosh! It's June. Is anyone else unreasonably hot?
What is everyone working on this month?
Imagine you are walking through a studio silently looking over people’s shoulders at their work. This is NOT a place for critiques. You may applaud, encourage, ooh and ah only.
Now go draw stuff. =)x

I'm personally finding it incredibly difficult to focus on drawing children's illustration at the moment, and have to keep reminding myself that despite the chaos created by their parents children still need imagery that speaks to their hearts and minds and development as human beings. I am repeating "The children are our future," as a mantra right now. LOL!
So I'm finding personal projects and prompts quite useful currently, if for nothing else but to keep me distracted so I don't disintegrate into an ineffectual blob of stunned anxiety. Thank-goodness this month's SVSLearn prompt is here--I've been diving into that temporarily and diving into the SVSLearn classes with a gusto I haven't done in a very long time. It's nice to just let yourself be a student and drink it all in like a sponge sometimes, you know? Ahhhh....
So I'm posting part of my <unfinished!!!!> Light and Shadow homework, and some of my thumbnails for this months prompt. And really really happy that I have the lot of you to be an awesome, distracting mental escape that, when I need it, reminds me why I'm doing all of this. Thank-you for... just being here right now. Thank-you!!!

I'm finishing this piece today, trying a few different colour tweaks before sending it to the printer... :-]

Hello everyone, we are half way through the year already! How crazy is that? Over here in Mérida Venezuela we are freezing cold (and I love it), this past month I finished a personal project that came to life after an Instagram challenge, the #Bonvoyageweek, I decided to create a short story next to each illustration and test some new techniques and approaches to my work and I gotta say I'm very happy with the result! You can check out the whole project here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/97918609/Bon-Boyage-Week-2020
But I'll attach one of the pics down below.
Also, yesterday started working on a book, my second one and the first of the year. The pay isn't good at all but I might as well practice with it and make some money on the way.Take care everyone!

In the last 2 weeks I've worked on this piece, "Finding Loch Ness" and it is now finished
@Jose-A-Nieto I hadn't realised we have reached the half of this year
-
@nadyart I LOVE this!!!
-
@Pamela-Fraley thank you!
️ -
@nadyart Yeah it's crazy how time flies so fast under the circumstances. By the way love your piece, how did you add those textures to the water? I'd like to give my work a finished similar to that
-
@nadyart Wow, this is so beautiful! Love the moodiness of this piece!
-
@nadyart omg I loooove this too!
-
@Jose-A-Nieto Thank you! The texture in the water comes from a water colour painting I made. I have scanned that painting and put pieces of it as an overlay layer on top of the illustration. It is not at 100% opacity. You can also tinker with the other layer options besides overlay for other effects.
@Pamela-Fraley @aprilshin @Coley Thanks so much!

@nadyart stunning! I love the colors and the overall mood of this image!!

I have given myself the assignment to revisit a classic book cover that I love very much, Pippi Longstocking. After a little bit of character design exploration, here is where I am at (still work in progress, I want to try out a few solutions for the elements in the background and I want to play with the typeface a little longer before choosing).
-
@nadyart this is so lovely, I'm really enjoying your colour palette
-
@carlianne I absolutely love your character design! They’re so cute!
I would also love to make stickers...in the future, if possible for you, it would be amazing if you could share insights of your experience
-
Hey guys!
I wanted to share with you an illustration I did for a slumber party contest I took part of.
Sloth slumber party is just business
-
@carlianne They are so cute! Can you tell us more about your store?
-
@nadyart I love all your illustrations and this one makes me smile. So cute!
