@Kristen-Lango I’m located in Saratoga Springs, New York so I’m not actually within this chapter so from that area will be new to me!

Here’s how the landscape version could look. I really like it but the main thing that holds me back is that the image would be portrait and then flipping it over to a landscape layout feels like poor design to me but maybe that’s overthinking it IMG_2552.jpeg IMG_2551.jpeg

@davidhohn Thank you David. That is brilliant information and good to know. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.

I think it’s totally fine to post your original version. I wouldn’t worry about causing confusion. People will just assume it’s an alternate version to the published piece which to me is always interesting to see

@Geoffrey-Mégardon This isn't the same as art representation, this is simply a paid marketing service. I've heard mixed reviews about them - some artists have gotten a few pretty nice gigs on these sites. Other didn't get anything. If you have the money to spare, it's worth a try!

@Griffin-McPherson I agree with @KathrynAdebayo about the needed variation colors, and also the sizes of the spots on the ground should somewhat follow perspective rules to follow the plane of the ground.

Hello,
I subscribed to SVSLearn and I would like to go through the course How to Ink 2.0, but the only course I can access is How to Ink (which seems to be the 1.0 version) .

Am I being confused? is How to Ink the same as How to Ink 2.0?

@LauraA I had to deal with this yesterday...writers warmth spam comments are a nuisance. I've gone into my Instagram settings, into privacy and then the hidden words section... needless to say I've made sure 'writers warmth', 'shein', 'mate' and 'nft' have been added to the list of comments I don't want popping up on my future posts! Annoying is the polite word for it!

@willicreate That's very true. I absolutely have free comics I follow that would be all over if and when the do the book thing and I read them on those comic apps (webtoon and tapas). Thanks so much

@AngelinaKizz oh where can I buy Svslearn classes individually? I thought we lost that ability. Actually I looked the curriculum classes are not seperately on sale but the others are.

Thank you 🙂 thank you 🙂

@Geoffrey-Mégardon Thanks! It's called Adventures with Ralph the Night Hairdresser

@Shelley-James-0 Critique December was the last Critique Arena. 😞 As of right now, no, there is not a monthly challenge.

@jenn said in Reference for underside of a vintage car?:

Brilliant! Sometimes it's just knowing the right word-undercarriage. Thanks!

Daniel, I finally did find a manual yesterday: https://500mania.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/la-fiat-500-d-2/

I think that between these two things, I can get the drawing taken care of. Thanks! And I know way more than I ever thought I would about vintage Fiats! (I own a Fiat, actually, but it's a humble Punto, not the adorable 500, and it's in that awkward tween stage 😆 .)

@Mimi-Simon 😍😍😍❤❤❤ congratulations Mimi! I definitely cross my fingers too! This is so exciting

I've actually never heard of a full time illustration position? what kind of work would you be doing? is it educational/textbooks? do they retain all the rights to the work? do you have to keep it secret? that might factor into how much you'd want to be paid also.
Also since none of us have been particularly helpful about the actual question maybe you should pose it to the next 3PP live stream. If you're not a patron I could ask it on your behalf if you wanted.

@Asyas_illos his books really are so great 🙂 I love that one too.

@carlianne Great info - thank you!!

@Geoffrey-Mégardon yeah I actually did have clouds reflected in the water at one point! It could definitely work but I feel that the highlights on the water convey a bright, sunny day more than the cloud reflections.
