It will be great to hear the SVS team's take on all these questions - so many good ones! It's tempting to put myself forward for critique but I think I need a bit more time for my art to evolve, before I'm serious about being represented, and I already have agent feedback to work through. But as @lmrush said, it's great that you are here to help us like this, and long-term I think an agent might be a very good thing, so I'll be interested to see what comes out of this topic.

@QuietYell Thanks for posting that link - really insightful!

@Lee-White any more info here on this class?

Awesome! I've been checking youtube every day for this, and today I thought I'd pop over here and see if there was any news about this:)

Hi folks! Due to logistical issues, 3rd Thursday is cancelled tonite! Sorry for the inconvenience! But, we could all use a little extra sleep, right?? To be rescheduled soon….

Great tips, especially when it is so easy to get lost in the moment and spend an hour 'noodling' a particular pose! Whats that saying - failure to plan is planning to fail? very true. 😉

Well, here is the last bunch.

@Lee-White @Aaron Where can I see this video?

@Lee-White inspiring story! You have been a wonderful addition to the SVS faculty. The words that stay uppermost in my mind when I think of SVS faculty, particularly applied to you, Will & Jake are "generous" and "honest". Thank you so much. I am looking forward to your productivity webinar. Fear of making bad art = NO art and this story is one more example of the concept that is so hard to implement--we must make bad art to learn how to make better art! I like Jake's "progress not perfection" too. Thanks to you all!

@Kevin-Longueil Thanks Kevin!

@Lee-White Really great stuff, Lee! Thank you so much! Will be shooting an email to you and, of course, supporting your campaign when it goes live. 🙂

I decided to just do one drawing a week this year. Still participating to a limited degree, but with a four month old baby thats really all I feel I can manage this year. I've always felt thats what is important--participating only if you want to, to the degree that you feel is helpful.

@Lee-White I like that the schedule includes going to Monaco, from where I get my last name! What an excellent choice! 😉

@Suzy-Heitz Oh I'm looking forward to re-watching too...while the critique is going on I'm trying to process/remember all the advice, make notes, and reply to comments/questions in the chat box...all kinda tricky to do at once, so I'm glad we can re-watch it afterwards 🙂

Thanks!I I hope it helps some! : )

I agree about all working towards a finished illustration using an interesting prompt. That is what our classes will consist of. It will be like 3rd thursday on steroids. You will get feedback on all aspects of the project starting with how to go about it, doing the thumbnails, rough sketch, color study, and final art.

This kind of project will happen in all of the illusrtration 1, 2, and 3 classes.

BTW, you guys can keep doing prompts like 3rd thursday on the forums if you want as well. Just agree on a subject and illustrate it. : )

@mattramsey I did see that one. Good info for sure!

@QuietYell Thanks! For those of you who haven't seen it, I'm doing a very informal series of videos documenting my adventure into launching a kickstarter. Here's a link if you want to see:

I can see it and delete it pretty easily so no need to report it. That spam sure is annoying though!
