Our SVS Virtual Studio FEBRUARY 2022

@oana The pool requires a kid to distract the sharks during free swim. Jay drew the short straw.
-
@oana obviously you were not a child of the seventies in which any body of water could contain sharks thanks to the movie JAWS.
-
@chrisaakins I totally relate!!! My Aunt and Uncle took me to the beach once and I refused to go in because of sharks (still have problems with it). Even going in a pool was hard as a kid.
-
@braydin-hawlette @reelynn Thank goodness I'm not the only one with this irrational fear!
-
@braydin-hawlette Hahahaha
-
@chrisaakins haha actually I am from the seventies! Only I was on a different part of the world, no ocean, no sharks and not so many movies at that time!
Still, the image is relatable 
Love all the kids expressions -
Just another study in the sketchbook…
-
Thought i would make this little avatar for myself.

A Tron inspired piece I’ve been finishing up.
-
@braydin-hawlette love the very subtle graininess/texture in this. Is it just the brushes you use or do you do overlays or something similar for textures?
-
@griffin Little of column A, little of column B
-
@griffin I immediately thought of Tron when I saw that! Nice job!
-
@chrisaakins my son wants a t-shirt of this. He thinks it’s hilarious.
️ -
@pamela-fraley That's hilarious, too. I am trying to imagine how you could turn this into a vector and yeah I don't think that's possible. Way too much texture.

I teach tech lab (1:1 iPads at my school) and this week the students needed a break, so I gave them some free time to explore our district’s educational apps. Which meant I needed something to do myself. I started working on a series of frogs while I sat with them, and this one made my K-2 kids go “EWWWW” so I guess that’s… good?
Now I just need to figure out how to draw ground coverage. I tried a bunch of leaves since this is a Costa Rican poison dart frog, but it didn’t look right.
-
@chrisaakins maybe a line art version? I don’t know.

Right now, while also doing 12x12 this year (where you write 12 picture book manuscripts in 12 months), I’m trying to launch a weekly comic strip.
3 posted so far. Art complete on 5. Stories written for about 30.
Posting them on my Instagram, my Twitter and my website.

Needed a new profile pic for social medias that was done traditionally, and was more to the style I'm working in now.

More studies…

I’m loving seeing what everyone is working on.
I have a very rough WIP I’m working on. I’m attempting a black and white DPS for a chapter book. I need to practise humans, composition, settings, emotions and black and white. I’m trying to combine all these into one.
The concept is a gang of pirates with a captain that keeps getting things wrong. I’ve added a bit of dummy text but I’m no copywriter! Can you even say ‘shucks’ in a kids book?
Looking forward to adding hair, clothes and an elaborate treasure chest and being freeeeeee from the challenge of colour. I would like to do a colour book cover to go with this but it’s needed for Wednesday and I’m going to just have to go for it just to get this done! Eeeeek
