@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?

@Mary-Toth this is sooooo cool!

Thank you @PenAndrew!

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

Hi everyone! Im working on a word generation project. My three words are fox, chest and discovery. Here's what I came up with.
-
@Solomon-Designs great job!
-
@AngelinaKizz Thank you! I had so much fun with this one.
-
@chrisaakins Love this Falcon.
-
@Solomon-Designs I really like you control of colour and values here.
-
@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.
-
@PenAndrew Nice! I’ll have to check that course out. I’m finishing up developing visual stories. The road map analogy is so true. I’m truly so thankful for svs because I graduated a graphic design program but honestly don’t like graphic design very much. Luckily I’m able to learn illustration through svs. I definitely learned design can be far from illustration.
-
@Solomon-Designs Yes it goes in a more abstract direction I believe, I think the Graphic Design I like must have some drawing attached to it, like packaging design or labels for products, this kind of thing. In fact in China there's a lot more interesting packaging design. I use an old cake box to store things- will post an image in a moment to show you.

Spring festival Design -Chinese New Year!

@PenAndrew nice, yes there is some illustration involved in graphic design if it solves the clients marketing issue. A lot of times I’m doing lots of work with type and layouts and very little illustration and very little animation.

So my 7 year old drew this yesterday. I swear she's gonna be teaching me her ways in no time. Anyone else's kids big into art? I'm blown away by mine every time she picks up a pencil crayon
