Hello from Italy! Illustration student
Hi! I am 22 and a study illustration in a Fine Arts academy in Sicily.
I really don’t get what I need to know from my school, unfortunately, ‘cause it’s really theory based, we study a lot of art history and old graphic techniques but we really don’t do much illustration at all.
So a few months ago I started listening to the podcast and I discovered a whole new world, I wanted to work in illustration but I never had anyone explaining me what the job was like and what I had to do to get in, so till that moment I just tought it was a world were it was impossible to get in, at least for me. Since then I figured out a lot of things and I actually aspire to work inside an animation studio now! But currently I am just working very hard at improving my skills and learn from everything I can.
I was finally able to subscribe to SVS learn almost a month ago and I am so happy about what I have learned already! I hope to be active in the forum and partecipate to challenges too!

RE: Introduction to Prop Design - Looking for fellow 'classmates'
I just finished the course and came up with a very very simple first prop idea, ‘cause is my very first time doing this and I wanted to start with a more simple structure to then do a more complicated project for my portfolio later on.
So my very simple idea was an Art Deco inspired lamp. I did 20 silhouettes and ended up choosing the more elongated lookin one.
I also tried to do the horto for an extra challenge, also because I have a lot of problems visualizing the objects in 3D so this helped a lot!
This is the final design, lights on and off. I am pretty happy with the result, structurally speaking, even if seeing all your super creative ideas made me want to try to realize a more complicated idea, so now I am even more motivated to do that ahaha
I am currently working on the rest of the prop ensemble, I’ll post that too as soon as I finish it! -

WIP November prompt
Hi there, this is my sketch for November prompt “Together”. I had a pretty hard time coming up with an idea that excited me, after a few days I came up with this image of ants working together happilly to steal some food from two picnicking boys. I like the result but I am really afraid the concept isn’t clear in the image, maybe I am too much in my head and can’t see the defects of it. So please feel free to give me honest critiques and feedback, I really want to improve it as much as I can.

RE: WIP November prompt
@Braden-Hallett @Griffin @JoshuaDages thanks for all the feedback! I had and still have some doubts about how this image conveys the prompt and I too thought about making them lift bigger things! I tried to make them carry some bigger foods in the thumbnailing phase, but I chose this instead ‘course I liked the perspective better.
Hearing all your feedback now I think I am going to try and add some, maybe in the back so I don’t cover the faces of the ants that are closer to the camera?
Anyway, I actually already changed the sketch a little ‘cause I felt the focus wasn’t really were it was needed, this is the adjourned image.

RE: WIP November prompt
@Heather-Boyd @Coley thank you for the feedback! I really like the idea of making them pass the crumbs to each other, I think it may be the best solution, I’ll work on it!
