AUGUST CONTEST: Dragonfly

[LauraLane]

@MattBaker Oh thank you so much! I really liked the idea of one pattern that went through all the cattails; like they were many pieces of one whole.

Dragonfly race! Played with a limited color palette for this one.

Hi there! I hope you are all doing well!
This is my first time entering the monthly contest! Everyone's entries are sooo good
Here is my entry

[Lovsey]

I don’t really know how this works..my image appears a little fuzzy after resizing, sorry about that! It’s my first time posting an image on the forum..and it’s my first digital artwork. I learned a lot in the process (and am so aware of how much I need to learn)!

Hi There! I wanted to challenge myself by illustrating a double page as I'm watching the Children's book course at the moment and really like to try out all of the different page formats and combinations (Vignettes, Spot Illustrations etc.) Also its so inspirational to watch Jake working on that dummy of Little Red Riding hood! Also its lovely too see all your takes on the theme! < 3

@ChloeB-artistry woah! Love this scene. The lava frogs look formidable and I feel the tension for the poor paper dragonflies! And I’m curious about that magical paper clip.

Hey everyone! This is my first time joining the forums and entering a contest, but what I really look forward to is getting to know the community and trying to get myself dedicated to what has one been my dream - to pursue a professional path in illustration. I have discovered SVS Learn podcasts just before the quarantine started, and in a way, this is what really helped me get through this year. I did put my instagram handle here as well, though I've literally just opened it up, so I will start with everything anew. I have been painting for years, but also had a good few years of a total hiatus... so I am participating now to make myself accountable, and also plan on subscribing to classes. I see a lot of amazing concepts here and am looking forward to learning from you all! For the new beginnings Thank you!
