Our SVS Virtual Studio June 2021🌞🍉

@Jeremy-Ross thanks!

Yes, I’m thinking they’re snickerdoodles — didn’t want to make the cookies too dark or they would be mistaken for chocolate and then I’d get a ton of comments about how you shouldn’t feed chocolate to dogs. Wanted to avoid that if possible!

Hi Everyone,
I am working on finishing up a self publishing project. Anyone use IngramSpark? I am new to the self publishing pod market. Thoughts?

Also, working on teaching for a small art studio in Randolph, NJ. Lots of fun to come up with projects for kids Pre-K-3rd grade.

[Jeremy Ross]

You make placing characters look easy @Tiffany-Thomas!

@williammeany love this. Reminds me of the Arrival of Shaun Tan

[donnamakesart]

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thank you so much 🥰 experimenting on style so that means a lot

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Jeremy-Ross Haha, thanks! I had to cut and move them around in the latest one but I've never drawn a room with multiple people in it, haha. I'm literally amazed at how long I've been avoiding backgrounds

[donnamakesart]

The making-of process of Pandan Ice Cream is pretty cool.

Gotta be super comfy

Back to my never ending quest to try to finish last years Inktober

[williammeany]

@donnamakesart Thanks! Shaun Tan is one of my favorites!
Here's the more refined painting -- finished for now:

Just a warm up with our lovely Mario!!

Another watercolor speed sketch -- I set my timer for 10 minutes and drove left-right-left-right etc. every time there was an intersection (which in our rural area wasn't often) and then as soon as I could find a place to pull over, sketched what was there. This is a study in brain tom-foolery: The first is what I painted of what I saw and the second is a quick photo I took before I left. You'd think it was two different places!

Well, I got nothing fancy to show, but wanted to be a part of it, so, here goes...
I started the svs foundation curriculum 2 and a half months ago. I am in the 3rd course, Visualizing Drawing In Perspective, and taking some time on it since this was always my biggest difficulty in drawing.

So basically, sketching different drawings in several perspectives (I do 2 to 3 pages like this for each. I have difficulty keeping the proportions between the sketches, but one thing I'm loving is that by drawing the objects several times helps me understand the object better as I go.

Still a long way to go, and will probably come to the forum for some help soon, but am definitely enjoying and evolving

Another 1920s character design...I think I might use this as inspiration for a little girl dressed up as a pilot

[Georgios Christopoulos]

Have an awesome weekend everyone!
Cannot get tired of drawing Garfield.
He,asterix and songoku is the reason I am drawing to this day.

[Matthew Oberdier]

@Georgios-Christopoulos awesome- I saw The Twelve Tasks of Asterix when I was a kid. Definitely had a big impact on me.

A mood sketch for a story I'm writing about a little girl that gets kidnapped by water monsters.

Hey everyone! I haven't been able to participate in the forum for about a month or so now. I just made a huge move, finally settling in to the new house/area. I just wanted to update with a quick post showing my finished comic page! It was a lot of fun to draw this up

[burvantill]

I drew this in my digital sketchbook tonight and my husband said, "You aren't going to post that on your thing are you?" "thing" equals Instagram in this scenario.
Me: Yes. Why?
Spouse: It's scary.
Me: It's just a hyena. And it's bad ass.
Spouse: but it's too scary for the kids.
Me: Honey. There are no children looking at my Instagram.
Spouse: What do you mean? You draw for kids all the time.
Me: Yes. Yes I do.
Spouse: I'm sorry.
Then I proceeded to show him my Colin bear killing butterflies and how many likes I received with that image compared to all of the "nice" things I've posted over the past few years. There is a pattern evolving. My images that portray chaos, meanness and mischief are getting more attention than the nice stuff. I'm not sure whether to role with it or mourn.

These past few months have been really hard. I’ve been ill and in and out of the hospital and losing part of my vision in my right eye so I haven’t been doing much art work but tonight I really felt like I needed to get some out of my head so I worked on some more landscape stuff. It’s not perfect but I am happy with it
