        Hi everyone! It's my first time participating in the SVS contests. I read that dragonfly's flight is studied in aerodynamics and robotics, so here's my take on it. ๐Ÿ™‚

          Here is my entry for this month, it is meant as a title page for a cute book idea ("The little dragonfly witch") that came to me through this months prompt.

          I learned something while making this .... I`ll be writing the text on a separate sheet and digitally lay it over the drawing. That way I can more easily change the font, if it isnยดt legible. Had to rework so much digitally to make the word "witch" more legible. ๐Ÿ˜“

          Hope your are all doing fine! Love, Aisleen ๐Ÿ˜‡

            @PhophophoWorld Congratulations on your first submittal! This is very nice! I love your story. I considered this aspect of the dragonfly myself. You nailed it! It's also drawn and rendered very well.

                        Hello Everyone,

                        I am new to SVSLearn but I have been listening to the podcasts for the past year. Finally jumped in to start previewing and taking classes. I have been selling fine art paintings for the past 20 years. Trying to transition into illustration. Let me know what you think. August_dragonfly_contest_David_Starfas.jpg

                            Hereโ€™s my entry for this monthโ€™s critique arena contest. Iโ€™m not sure how I feel about it as itโ€™s the first time Iโ€™ve tried to create anything without line work (just to try something different and venture outside of my comfort zone) but Iโ€™m submitting anyway.

                            Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is bringing to the table. For some reason this prompt stumped me more than expected so Iโ€™m curious how others tackled this one.

                            Oh, I also decided to throw some text in there for fun. It could be a big misstep but I figured Iโ€™d give it a shot anyway and see how it fared.

                            Good luck everyone:)

                              Hello everyone ๐Ÿ™‚ this is my first time entering. I have been doing children's book illustrations for independent children's authors for the past year or so and I want to up-level my skills here on SVS.
                              Thank you to all who helped me with this piece in the thread. Loving all the different styles and perspectives so far.

                                      @ryleygarcia Awe! I love this one! The park & ride look spot-on, and that would totally be me getting dragged onto the dragonfly against my will ๐Ÿ˜†

                                        @Gabby-Correia Love how this came out especially that painterly sky and leaves! That giant dragonfly looks really believable ๐Ÿ™‚

                                            Hey everyone. This is my 1st entry on svslearn. I'll be honest, I didn't give the story much thought here, as I was running out of time, so this was mainly some practice for me, and I was determined to finally make an entry regardless of the outcome.
