[j.sienkowski]

Hey SVS peeps! It's been several months since I last dared to step inside the critique arena. Please be gentle oh illustration gods...and good luck everyone!

Hello! I'm new here, so this is my first time participating. Looking forward to learning from and sharing with everyone.

I'm currently working on a children's book idea, so the prompt inspired me to paint a scene with some of my characters. Here's "A Stormy Reunion"

@Martha-Johnston thank you it’s been a work in progress!

[muddytux]

Excellent concept @Sarah-VanDam
Your style has such a classic feel. Love it!

[muddytux]

I love the textures you’ve achieved in the background, @Melissa_Bailey. So well done

Down to the wire again! Submitted a little late this month because I was having trouble making sure the file name was correct with my iPad. Lesson learned. Can’t wait to see how everyone does!

I haven't done Critique Arena in a while, so I'm excited to jump back in! Here's my submission.

I thought we were able to submit multiple entries, but maybe that's changed? The SVS portal didn't let me submit a second. (If someone knows which it is and could let me know, I would appreciate it!) This was something I worked on last year that happened to be relevant to the prompt as well:

@AngelinaKizz You really worked this idea up and I really like the finished artwork and its a great idea.

[PenAndrew]

@baileyvidler A lovely flow to everything and beautiful colour, great design and characters, I really like this piece. A very professional piece of artwork, love the hat and the size of the picture works really well.

I took a little hiatus from drawing, and a long hiatus from the forums! Managed to submit this just in the nick of time!

There's a lot of well-rendered entries with creative concepts. May the best piece win!

[Sarah VanDam]

@andreazupcsan Nice! I love a lot of aspects of your piece. I like how you manage to put lots of different patterns in the scene, and they make it interesting but aren’t at all distracting.

[Sarah VanDam]

@baileyvidler Awesome work! I think there’s someone you email if you want to do more than one entry…

[AngelinaKizz]

@Sarah-VanDam Austin! There's an email address on the submission page.

[AlliFaith]

@j-sienkowski awe, thank you! That’s so kind! I like yours too. Love the colors!

[Johanna Kim]

@andreazupcsan This is so wonderful!

@andreazupcsan That expression and gesture tells the story. Love the patterns and details
