      @Jeremy-Ross I really love seeing these studies and the ones you did before it is a real encouragement to have a go. An excellent set of copies.

        @Mary-Toth These are fabulous! When I use my prismacolor pencils, you can also use gamsol on them. After a few layers of pencils, use a paintbrush etc dipped in some gamsol and it breaks down the wax in the pencil and it makes the pencil have a painterly look to it. Useful for blending especially.

                @Mary-Toth I love your style. I have been working on various line and wash techniques for some time now but have never tried colored pencils with the watercolor. (I usually do regular pencil, ink, or watercolor with a dip pen.) When you say you do this on "textured paper," what kind of paper do you mean?

                        Working on three bird illustrations for a resort. They are creating a nature trail. Here’s progress on a peregrine falcon diving.

                                    @PenAndrew thank you! That means alot because I really went back in forth messing with saturation to create the focal point.

                                      @Solomon-Designs Yes, It is obvious that you have spent a lot of time with this image and it shows a lot of knowledge. I still have not had much of a chance to apply this thinking in my work. Are you developing a comic book style?

                                        @PenAndrew what’s really helped me is @Will-Terry’s YouTube videos and the svs courses. (Although I also took fine arts classes in college for graphic design) I’m trying to develop a children’s book style but love comics and video games. Thank you for the nice words btw.

                                          @Solomon-Designs Yes all the courses provide different levels of help, I have recently been watching The Robots and Machinery course and Drawing comics course lectures from Jake Parker, and learnt new things about comics and I liked what Jake said about the courses at SVS providing Road Maps, I really think that's true. You can see where you are on that map and a pathway ahead to reach your goal and what steps you have to take to get there.

                                            @Solomon-Designs Yes I think aspects of Graphic Design, such as lettering can really help illustration and the Graphic Design artists on the forum are doing really well with their illustration. It is a pity that these skills get separated off, but that's the way of the world. Specialisation! Before I studied I applied to a Graphic Design Diploma course as I felt the work reflected something about my interests.
