@david I too am a birder and just started posting photos to an Instagram account last summer at ljdemott I’m going to follow you and @lizardillo — you have some great shots and I love seeing the birds from a different part of the world. Mine are a lot of eastern bluebirds which I’m a bit fanatic about.

@jeremy-ross there been some influence lol

Sorry about that! A setting was changed in our email system that messed up the links. We resent a couple different emails, try the one from Society of Visual Storytelling, not SVSLearn 😅

Just a reminder that today is the Critique Arena All Stars edition!

For our last competition of the year, we invited all the previous winners from 2021 to throw down in an all star battle royale ⚔️ Who will be the last one standing??

We'll get started at 2PM MST (check here for other time zones). Be sure to join and cast your votes for the winner of 2021!

Thank you to everyone that has responded to the survey so far. We would love to hear from anyone else that has not had a chance to take it.

Inktober Day 31 - "Risk"

What's riskier than going after your dreams?
Well... I suppose gas station sushi is riskier than that, but I didn't feel like drawing a gas station, so instead....

A few days late on this!
Y'all should be so proud of yourselves! I know I am! Inktober is a challenge challenge. Phew! Looooong month, but thanks for inspiring me to keep going with all of your pieces! Way to go!

Happy November, friends!

Yay! Thanks for letting me know @carolinebautista and @Georgios-Christopoulos!

While a critique on the homework for classes would be great, it would not be as useful as a critique on a full illustration or character design. I cold see spending $250 a couple times a year on pieces that really matter but it would not be affordable for every homework piece. A critique on a couple illustrations and the book dummy from the CBPro course would be worth it and amazing.

Hey @LisaF, will September’s critique arena replay be available on YouTube or the website sometime?

@KathrynAdebayo Thankyou 🙂

Hi all! If you want a sneak peek at the October prompt, check out our new Inktober Bootcamp class! The prompt is posted there for all the peeps who are busy prepping for Inktober. Hint: it might have something to do with Inktober🤔 😂

But if you can't get to it, no worries! The prompt will be announced here next week. Happy Inktober eve!

@ruth thanks Ruth. I actually trying to search if there is a Chinese translation. But I do not know how they translate the artists name, or the book name in Chinese 🤷🏻♂
