Hi, my name is Jose and I am graphic designer and illustrator from Venezuela but currently living in Illinois. I'm fascinated with Art and Technology
Hey everybody,
I did The Knight in Rusty Armor by Robert Fisher. Below the piece.
I read the book many years ago; but here is the best book summary I found.
The story is great and I highly recommend it. It is the story about a person finding the real values of family and facing hard challenges.
Thank you and good luck,
Jose
@Chip-Valecek Thank you always supporting my art on Instagram. Below my "Big" Aquaman fanart piece, if fanart pieces are not allowed that's fine I was still excited about this piece. Thank you!!!!!!!

I remember when I used the pen brush the first time, I was hooked! Love this month challenge.
Here is my submission. it took a lot of me to get Ellie's design down, the turning point for this piece was when I added the magnifying glass.
During the LightExpo event during the weekend, I had my portfolio reviewed by Pattrick O'keefe. He was the art director at Sony Animation during the Spiderman into the Spiderverse production. It got me thinking a lot about my art and where I want to go from here. I quickly sat down and painted while thinking about the positive and negative feedback I received, this is what came out...
SVS classes have definitely help me improve but having a full-time job and other responsibilities sure make it extra hard to reach those magical 10,000 hours to master illustration.
I learned a few things along the way, thank you in advance for the support!
A very personal piece for the #slowvember challenge. I did a memory from my childhood, I remember the toys, the computer, the beer can collection and even the dinosaur poster I broke while playing baseball. Iām very happy with how it turned out!
I like when the challenge has some parameters. I'm happy with the final product.
I've been watching your "choosing colors for storytelling course, great stuff!"
Here is my entry! I was having slowvember flashbacks while working on this one, I took my time.
BTW I love that you keep doing the monthly virtual studio. I am always working on something on the side of my actual job and enjoy sharing and looking at other people's pieces.
Below is my favorite piece this year, it was back in October when astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch were part of the first all-women spacewalk. I was using CS6 when I updated my operating system and the software stopped working (something about 32-bit and 64-bit). Therefore, I took the opportunity to do a color pencil piece. TOOK FOREVER! I remember when I was able to do a whole drawing in math class. 
Anyways, below another piece that I'm currently working on. I am trying to get better at editorial illustration and composition. It's been tough, I feel like I want to do all, visual development, character design, and editorial illustration. We'll see where 2020 takes me!
@notfitkid Didn't expect this take on this month's prompt. Beautiful work, full of emotions.
Holy Crap!... this is a great thread to motivate others to study your approach and do it! everything looks amazing...

Thanks for the tip. This is great!
@amlilui Thank you! The composition has always been the trickiest of challenges for so I really appreciate your comment.

I personally like plan B, I feel like 24 non-stop is just going to be heavily overwhelming for those who like to power watch.
A list of possible artist I'd like to see and watch are:
Laura Price https://www.instagram.com/lulusketches/ (she is always willing to talk about her experience)
Steven Thompson https://www.instagram.com/sthompsonart/
Tommy Parker, possibly related to Jake https://www.instagram.com/t_mmyparker/
