Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience! We haven’t done a big live event in a while, so we are still working out the glitches :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

So to answer your question YES, we’ll be posting the video from the live crit in the subscription next week, we’ll send out notification when it’s out

As for subscribers who didn’t receive the email with the live link, there were a variety of reasons why you may not have received the email:

•if you have opted out of our email newsletter, you will not receive any emails (except for progress notifications, these are auto generated by a different system)

•if you have a yahoo address, our email platform is experiencing issues sending email to yahoo, and many of these are bouncing

•if you cancelled your monthly subscription and moved to an annual subscription, our system may not have recognized the switch

•if you subscribed very recently, our system may not have caught up yet

•if you cancelled recently, our system sees you as cancelled even though you may still access through the end of the month

•various individual scenarios like expired credit cards and such

Our apologies if you did not get the email! Anyone who contacted me via email before the event, I was able to resend a link to.

Just fyi, Will, Lee and Jake want to do more of these kinds of events for our subscribers, so we are gonna try doing live crits on the first Thursday of the month for a while to see if there’s interest. What do you guys think?

Hello everyone! Just want to let you know we are doing a live event with @will-terry-art starting tomorrow! It's coming together very quickly, so we're still nailing down some of the details. But we'll be sending out links tomorrow!

Here's the plan: you'll be able to join in and ask questions as Will colors a brand new illustration! (Hint: it's called The Corona Session) He'll show you his coloring process step-by-step, so you can see it up close and personal.

The event will be over 3 days (Wed/Thu/Fri), for about an hour each, starting at 2pm MDT.

Stay tuned for details!

Wow everybody, great stuff!!

Just want to let you know that we are planning a live event to announce the winners, and yes, Tom Bancroft is gonna be there!

We're still working out the details, but we hope to email the details to our subscribers early next week, so be on the look out

We are shooting for June 6, so if you are a subscriber and haven't gotten an email by then, do let me know!

And here's what we are gonna end up with!

Wow, great job everyone!! Especially considering the circumstances Kudos to all who managed to pull through and actually enter the contest!

The next Critique Arena is set for Thursday, April 9 at 2 PM MDT. We'll be sending out the details in the next week or so. See ya then!

Hey y'all! We'll be hanging out with @davidhohn for this week's live session, woohoo!

He'll be illustrating this awesome take on the whole alien and toilet paper conspiracy

Be sure to tune in! It's this Thursday, April 30 at 2 pm MDT. Here's the link for other time zones. We'll be emailing the event link soon!

Wow, these are great! Thanks everyone who submitted! We're still trying to nail down a date for the next Critique Arena, but looks like it'll be sometime during the week of Nov 11-15...we'll keep you posted!

Running a few minutes late, Lee's computer just crashed!

Thank you all for the kindness and concern you've shown here, that's part of what makes our little community so special. I didn't know Rich personally, but I know he was a regular around here, and I know he will be missed. He was clearly devoted to his craft, and worked very hard at it. It was inspiring to see his progress. In honor of his memory, SVS will donate funds to an arts program for kids, per his family's wishes. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family.

Thanks Chip!! Now we just need a Mayor badge for you

Thanks @Dima-Eichhorn! We got it!

@Danielle-Closs Good to know, thanks for sharing that!

@Kim-Hunter Hmmm, is Safari your default browser? It should work on Safari or Chrome, but it helps if they are the most current version and the pop up windows are not blocked. We are recording the event though, and will add it to the subscription! It will also be available on our Facebook page.

@Coreyartus Ok great! We're recording it too

@Coreyartus Not sure if this is what happened for you, but when I tried to access the link from my student account, Chrome blocked the pop up. Once I allowed the pop up, I got the Zoom registration page.

@Coreyartus Hi! I sent you link via chat I'll check on the class!

Starting soon!

Hi all! Brooklyn Walker will be joining us for today's live event, hope you can make it! She's a character designer at Sony and the creator behind our drawing gestures class

We'll be getting started at 2pm MDT. Check here for other time zones. See ya in a few!

@Danielle-Closs Also, here are some browser troubleshooting tips:

1. Make sure that your browser is up to date.
2. Refresh your cache and restart your browser.
3. Try accessing your site in a Private or Incognito window, like Chrome's Incognito Mode, or Firefox's Private Window. This opens a fresh browser window without any extensions or settings blocking your content.
4. Try out a different browser (Chrome or Safari). Sometimes the issue can be browser specific.
5. Try a different device or computer (mobile phone, tablet, PC/Mac laptop/desktop, etc.). It is rare, but sometimes a certain device has trouble with a content type.
6. Restart your device

@Danielle-Closs Hi there! We use the Thinkific platform for our classes, and Firefox is one of the supported browsers, so in theory it should work. However, Chrome seems to work best. May I ask what device you are using and what version it is? Also, for future reference, you can always contact us at support@svslearn.com with any questions you may have
