Question: Does anyone know of a good foreshortening tutorial or class?

If your grandma kept giving you candy to eat, you wouldn't want to be rude by refusing, would you?
Okay, Colin.

I've been on vacation a while so not been able to do any new work yet but I ordered some print samples to test paper stocks for when I eventually manage to get an online shop live. It was exciting to see them in real life. (Brexit isn't making postage options easy!).

[burvantill]

Which would you prefer?
A bear hug or a snow leopard hug?
Okay, Colin.

[Janette]

Just sent this to print. Billboard design and illustration for my local pumpkin farm. I've done a few billboards before, but non of them featured my own illustration style. Can't wait to see it up next week!

Deets all done!

Hi Everyone! Happy August!!!! I've been working on some Imaginary Circus themed characters this month, here are a few of my favorites. All are watercolor on paper.

"Twisted Sisters" Contortionist act

Lady Iridiana "The Rainbow Mermaid" with her underwater acrobatics

"Teetering Talbot" and his ball balancing act

Madame Fiammetta "The Flying Phoenix"

[Katie Carling]

@Tiffany-Thomas Wow, your watercolors are so rich and gorgeous. Do you do an underpainting or maybe many layers? These are so fun.

[NicolaSchofield]

@Tiffany-Thomas these are adorable! Madame Fiammetta is my favourite

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Katie-Carling Thank you! I do an underpainting first, usually with Burnt Sienna. Then I build layers of color on top and use White Gouache for the highlights. Here's a snapshot of the underpainting for one of the images.

[Tiffany Thomas]

@NicolaSchofield Haha, thank you so much! She was fun to paint :).

@Tiffany-Thomas said in Our SVS Virtual Studio AUGUST 2021:

"The Rainbow Mermaid"

So much color yet it works so well! I love how her colors lead the viewer's eyes to to her face where we find a ridiculous amount of character and story! Wonderful work, I'm amazed as usual!

[burvantill]

Okay, Colin.

And Day 11

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

Been sketching more with 7B pencil and mechanical pencil. Drawing my dogs.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson This is so adorable!

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Jeremiahbrown Haha, thanks so much! Your comments always make me feel so encouraged. I'm glad she works, even with all the busy color...she is a rainbow mermaid so I had to make her crazy bright ;).

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson I love this so much!!! This would be amazing wallpaper, it's really cool how all the different little dogs fit together and I love all their unique expressions, so fun!

[Tiffany Thomas]

@burvantill Haha, these are all so great! What a wonderful challenge, and you are exceptionally good at capturing different emotions through their expressions & gestures. I love Day 11, it made me giggle. Sooooo fun!
