    • RE: FEBRUARY CONTEST: NIGHTFALL

      Here's my submission. This piece was inspired by There Was an Old Woman Tossed Up in a Blanket (a nursery rhyme). Also, I deleted my last post and am reposting the image. I hope that's okay. Thanks!

    • RE: MAY CONTEST: ISOLATION

      Here's a little bird, basically the cartoon bird version of me, enjoying her alone time away from the bustling world. I've really loved seeing everyone's work so far!

    • RE: Our SVS Virtual Studio February❤️2020

      Hi all,
      I'm new here and a little nervous about posting. I just finished up a class on imagining things in perspective and it was so very helpful. Lately, I've been creating quick little illustrations to both practice perspective and working digitally:

    • There Was An Old Woman - Feb WIP

      Hi all, just wanted to share what I'm working on for the February contest. I was inspired by the nursery rhyme There Was An Old Woman Tossed Up in a Blanket. I was wondering if there are any glaring issues that I might want to rework? Also, I haven't added lighting or shadows yet because I'm a bit lost. In the image, the main light source is the moon, but in reality, it's the sun (reflecting off the moon). So...which way should the shadows fall? Am I overthinking it?

      Anyway, here's what I've got so far:

      @jdubz Love, love your lighting! ...and my Bongo definitely started out creepy. I hated it so much that I took down my first entry and redid the entire thing 😬

      @Frost-Drive Okay, thanks! I’ll work on that and look for others.

    • RE: Would love a fresh pair of eyes here.

      All right, I’ve changed the size of Bongo so that he and Clyde are one the same plane, and sketched in a background to create depth. What do you guys think? Any glaring issues before I move on?

    • RE: Would love a fresh pair of eyes here.

      @Coreyartus This us so helpful! Looking at it again, I definitely see what you mean about Bongo’s position in relation to Clyde being confusing. I’ll play around with either changing up the size of the animals, or adding background elements to show more depth. Thanks so much for such detailed feedback!

    • Would love a fresh pair of eyes here.

      Hello all,

      I am very shy about asking, but I really need a different pair of eyes for my June submission. I very impulsively posted it in the contest thread, but the longer I looked at it, the more I hated it. Not the alligator - I love the way he turned out. But the monkey. Something seemed very off to me. So today I took it down and now I’m attempting to rework it. Here’s the original:

      F2BAA3AB-C015-4824-88D2-777D5EC432DC.jpeg

      And here’s what I’ve done so far to change things up:

      DDACC311-68BA-4939-84A6-981E218D18FE.jpeg

      I’d love comments about these specific things:

      Is it okay to do a spot illustration, or will the judges be looking for more of a complete scene? Just wondering if it’s necessary to add more of a background.

      Color. My idea for this month was to use more muted tones, but now I’m wondering if I should get rid of most of the color all together? Perhaps color the animals and draw in a more simple, sketchy background.

      Composition. I really wanted the monkey to look like he’s flying uncontrollably away from Clyde. Does this work? Is this positioning better than the original, do you think?

      Aaand, the monkey. Does he look less creepy? 😂 Hopefully, more endearing.

      I would so appreciate any feedback you guys have to offer. Constructive criticism is much appreciated 🙏🏼. Thanks everyone!
