AUGUST CONTEST: Dragonfly
-
For this one I made a little story involving my kids, so if nothing else, they'll be amused
Attempted traditional media for the characters; watercolour base and prismacolor pencils over the top in places. Tonnes of room for improvement but I enjoyed the experiment.
-
@JDRpictures sorry, I meant I think that's what Lee used in response to your question. Yours is really beautiful too! Not sure how you've managed to include so many colours but still make it look so cohesive.
-
@djlambson I love the color!
-
So much amazing work this month as always! I really enjoyed this prompt. Tried a completely different process this time.
-
This is my first time submitting to the context. 'dragonfly' was a great prompt - I am looking forward to seeing everyone's work
-
@Mara-Price Nice to hear..thank you!
-
Settled on this version of this one.
-
Oh man, am I ever not going to get butterflies when submitting work
This prompt was super fun and I had a great time coming up with a whole story for a little middle grade graphic novel. Except that wasn't the challenge! So I spent half the month on concept and a much shorter time on actual art. Oh well, I will for sure use the story stuff in the future, nothing is wasted!
-
EDIT uploaded my file again as I had uploaded the wrong one!
Wow! Each project is a completely different learning experience... I wish I'd had more time for this piece, but oh well, I had fun and did what I could in the little time I had! BTW, I love how different all the submitted designs are... so beautiful!
-
Hope everyone is well and enjoying life. Here is my submission for this month. overly underestimated how little time i would have with teaching remotely and taking two classess. I just could not let go of my personal goal of submitting something each month.
What you see is just a quick piece most likely unfinished with zero planning. I apologize for the half finished work.
I wanted to bend the boat into a more dynamic design, add bright bugish color schemes, and commuicate more of sky to signify the flying. In addition, there is something wonky about the perspective of the front of the boat. Anyways like this quotes says, “Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly” here is my poorly finished dragonfly flying ship that I love. Thanks and much love!
Much love and God bless!
-
Good luck everyone!
-
Ok, here goes my first contest submission (and also my first finished image in Procreate!) So happy to have found this amazing community, and to begin to take in so much great information.
-
@carrieannebrown haha oh how embarrassing but thank you still!!
-
@Chris-Philpot I simply love this. it is so polished.
Much love and God bless!
-
@sue so lovely, soft and a little mystery to go along with it. I love it. One of my favourites so far

Hi everyone: This is my first post, but I have been a member for the past couple months. This is the first challenge that I managed to finish. I am a teacher, so this will also be my last post for a while.
It has been just wonderful to watch the crits for the previous challenges. The SVS fundamentals courses have helped me develop some strong pieces and I am looking forward to continuing to improve. Thanks SVS! Good luck everyone!
-
@dafoota Thank you! I focused on the execution part this time and it didn't fight me as much as some previous efforts.
-
Here is my entry for this month, I hope you like it.
-
@dafoota Very cool piece!
-
@LauraLane I love everything about your illustration and style! The patterns in the stems are very cool.
