Our SVS Virtual Studio FEBRUARY 🙃2021

[burvantill]

OMG! It's February and here I am dozing right on through it.

What’s everyone working on right now?

Imagine you are walking through a studio silently looking over people’s shoulders at their work. This is NOT a place for critiques. You may applaud, encourage, ooh and ah only.

January was a little topsy turvy for me, so I am treating February like my New Year. January 2021 did not happen. LOL. My goals for this year are small compared to last year. I resolve to fill my new sketchbook by Dec. 31st. If anything else gets done, bonus. My goal for February is to draw anything every day and post on social media at least 5 times per week. The rest of the time, I'm going to putting my head back on straight and creating to do lists.
Happy Friday!
=)x

Working on my portfolio in between freelance jobs, but had to bang out a new D&D character for our new campaign. Lizard-Folk Cleric.

I couldn’t believe how much art I was able to make last month. I’ve already starting various projects, including some personal ones and my next book!

Continuing to work towards my goals of drawing every day and improving (hopefully) as I go along, working on testing out a new style to play with and have some fun, and lastly started up an Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/ambiiraeart/ shameless plug sense we are so fond of them here) for my art finally and slowly gaining some attention.

I’ve been trying to change my style to fit the children’s book market. They look similar but the approach was very different. I like them both but the second one was more fun to make

[Michael Angelo Go]

@donnamakesart Which one is marketed towards children? The one that's more pink on the right?

[PieterVanDerBeek]

I'm all caught up in the AMFIBUARY drawing challenge. On the side I try to explore different brushes and render techniques – so far strictly applied to tiny turtle doodles. :-]

[donnamakesart]

@Michael-Angelo-Go probably up to the art agents and publishers to decide haha. But I would assume they can both work since the people I’m aping are doing published works

[Heather Boyd]

I have been waiting for February virtual studio to post my prop class assignment because I made characters and story for it (though a book and a drink got replace by a plant lols). And now that it's here, I can check it off my list so thank you, thank you and hugs for your new year @burvantill .

[Heather Boyd]

@PieterVanDerBeek These are great! The second one is my favorite, he's got such swag.

So last month I tried this painting a different way and it didn’t work out. So attempt number two! Using Will Terry’s dry brushing lesson. Also, I can’t believe it, but even trying to be so careful, I still made a huge design mistake. In my sketch, there were two plants and then randomly as I transferred it to the big version I switched out plant number two for fruit. Fine except then it looked like she was pouring water into the fruit! So I changed the position of the water pitcher but it’s all a bit awkward now . So... lessons. But I’m still going to work towards finishing it because I’m learning how to take time and push a piece all the way .

[Heather Boyd]

@donnamakesart I like the first one because the colours help it stand out and the edges look more refined.

[KayPotter]

@ambiirae theses are lovely!

[KayPotter]

@Heather-Boyd love the style

[Heather Boyd]

@KayPotter thank you -it's been a long time coming.

The yellow balloon trial.
Apparently I am still inspired by the snowy yetis from the last two months.

[Gary Wilkinson]

Part way through another spread. This is probably my favorite one from the book

[Joen Söderholm]

I'll soon resume work on illustrating a book that I had to put on hold for a few months. Lately, I've mostly done stuff to practice colors and thing like that more - and took to drawing robots/robot-like creatures.
