    • Dream Portfolio Edited and Narrowed Down to the Close to 20 Images.

      This time I made a list of my favorite Artists and Illustrators and grabbed images from that list. This worked better. Plus a few images are from the same Illustrator.

      Slovember Update 50 Rough Raven Sketches (3).jpg

      So, this week I realized after reading, watching documentaries, sketching, and studying Ravens that my Slovember piece wants to go into my Arts Licensing Portfolio, not my Children's Book Portfolio. So, that's the plan.

      Then, yesterday after listening to 3 Point Perspective "The best Illustration Assignments." I decided to draw 50 Ravens to help me understand movement, gesture, etc. It worked. I plan to do this again, but to render them a bit more.

      My next steps are to do my thumbnails and do my top three.

      Ideas and comments are welcome, especially around gestures and poses.

      Thanks !

    • RE: What Are You Working on This Year?

      This year I'm committing to a 100 Somethings Project called 100 Ravens, and I'm growing my creative bank by going on 50 Artists Dates or outing by myself. I'm also taking classes here on SVS and on creatureartteacher.com with Aaron Blaise.
      This Month I'm working on Anatomy with Aaron Blaises Class, in February. I'll be completing the SVS Perspective Classes and in March I'll be completing the Light and Shadow Class on SVS. I work in 3 Month Blocks. So in the last week of March. I'll be planning more for the next 3 Months.

      Here's a link to my 100 Ravens Thread here in the forum.

    • RE: Jennyanns Sketchbook...

      This is my first time making digital drawings. I don't have a tablet or a pen yet, but I do have a touch laptop. So I found this online drawing pad called sketch.io, and made these.

      I took the drawing animals mammal edition class, and these are some practice sketches of bears. Practice! Practice! Practice!

    • RE: Sketches Feedback (This Pasts Aprils Prompt)

      Quick Update.

      I decided to go with the pink background. I refined the drawing, and next, I'm going to transfer and then ink this.

    • RE: Sketches Feedback (This Pasts Aprils Prompt)

      **I finally completed Aprils Project about Lisa's Robot.

      Here are some learning milestones I hit during this time:**

      1. I realized that I need to limit my materials in the starting stage so that I can focus on the drawing only. No paints, No other mediums, etc. This helped me get clear and focus on the drawing first.

      2. I learned how to use gouche a little. I mostly used to acrylic, but I wanted to try something new.

      3. I really loved mixing my materials.

      4. If I'm going to draw my own text, next time I'll make some guides, and draw the text on a separate sheet of tracing paper instead of on my drawing.

    • W.I.P.Project Updates. 3rd Raven Completed !

      Re: [100 Ravens- WIP Updates](/topic/8686/100-ravens-wip-updatPhotoScan (6).jpg

      This was the start of this illustration. My beginning sketch.

      ![0_1581694567728_R14 pale background.jpg](Uploading 100%)

      Then fast forward to some color studies. At this stage, I realized that I wasn't really feeling the position of this Raven. So I went back to the drawing board.

      Then I discovered the dune grass brush.

      Lastly, I added some light and texture, and finally completed this Raven # 3

    • RE: MAY WIP: critique appreciated for Akins

      I'm drawn to G , H, and M. In H I get the feeling of being alone emotionally.

    • RE: Isolation WIP - this one probably end up being more than 50 thumbnails.

      I like 2 and 3 the best. I can feel the notion of isolation in these 2 the most. I get the feeling of silence, and being with oneself.

      W.I.P.

      Which one are you drawn to?

      After finishing the thumbnails, and adding some emotional prompts. I played with some color studies today. I don't think I'll finish this by tonight, but I'm happy with my production progress so far. Next, I plan to choose one, enlarge it, and transfer it to another sheet of paper. Then I'll work on rendering it a bit more, and then I'll work on the final piece.
