I recently completed my recreation of the digital painting Will Terry demoed to us in his 3 Day Event a few weeks ago. It was a great learning experiencr to complete this. I feel I now have a process to follow that I feel comfortable with.

Hello Everyone! I missed a few months, but I'm back!

Hello! This is my first post to an SVSLearn contest. Thank you to Lee, Jake and Will for providing this opportunity for us to learn from them. I am having so much fun!!

Nightfall . . .

I would go back to them ASAP! Make sure the husband is there and have him show you how to hook it up. If it works great! If not get your money back. You might be able to find a refurbished one from a more reputable source to save you money. If they don't respond I would contact the company for support to see if they can help you. You probably spent a lot of money. If not satisfied I would threaten to take them to court. Bring someone with you if you don't want to confront them alone. It would be a good idea anyway.

@Jeremy-Ross Here it is! In my case I pulled the colors from the original and created a silouette for the title from the original.

This is too much fun! I'm glad I already had my Christmas shopping done!!

I see my proportions need some work, the size of the mother's head for example. My focus this month is to try to create cute kids and nice lighting contrasted with the dark.

@Pamela-Fraley Very Nice!

Welcome! Your artwork is very nice! I have to say, the people on this forum are very, very nice and fair, but are also are very good at critiqing. I have seen them point out things that I would have never seen. I'm 61 yrs old and I have several times in my life where I became intimidated because others were better at something than I was, some art related and my brother at strategy games - I was older, so we just didn't play them . When I think of how much I could have learned from these people it makes me a little angry at myself. So just dive right in there, ask lots of questions and give it your best shot! Good Luck!!

I like the shoes, but I might put the heals closer together, since there magic is about clicking the heels together. I also like the blue cover without characters. I think I like that one the best.

I have to say that A is my choice, because the characters are in action, walking along. In B their backs are all to us and in C they are all looking at us, with no real purpose I don't think - Unless I missed something.

@Frost-Drive I agree with this post. I'm thinking maybe a little more definition for the mouth, like a little line showing where his mouth closes. But the little side hole did make more sense in 3.

@Geoffrey-Gordon Yes! I worked as a software developer for 20+ years, then as a data analyst. I started in the mid 80's and this happened often. It doesn't happen as a data analyst, probably because the average person doesn't understand data very well and therefor has little use for it.

Very nice. I like the line work. He reminds a little of Mr. Zip Code from the 1960s !!

This is very good. I've tried it and it was harder than I thought too. It wasn't quite as relaxing as it seemed when I watched Jake.

A brush pen is hard to learn and control. I think you did a great job! I just bought a fine point brush pen so I hope that helps. In a class I took last year we used the pens you dip in ink. He had us do the drawing in a fine point first and then again with the larger point to add the heavyier lines. I don't know if that would work with brush pens though. I haven't tried it.

That right wing on the flying bird looks kind of like it's smashed up against the tree. Otherwise I love this, the style, your line work and the colors. Very Nice!
