SVS Virtual Studio JUNE 2022🌞

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
-
@AngelinaKizz Tell her she did a great job! I don't think that I could draw to this level until I was maybe 10 or11.
-
@PenAndrew me either! With things like YouTube and online drawing classes, I feel like they progress so much faster. I had to learn by teaching myself and drawing every day for hours on end. She's just flying through her learning process. I can't wait to see what she accomplishes.
-
@AngelinaKizz Yes, I look forward to seeing her progress. My Great -niece is also into drawing encouraged by my sister, her grandmother.
-
@AngelinaKizz Yes, this is one of the positive things about growing up in the age of the internet. Maybe.
