Looking for Connection :)

Howdy ! It's been a long time since I've hopped onto the SVSlearn forum. I remember first making my account when I was 17 (that was 6 years ago!!)! Anywho, I just wanted to hop on again and create connections and friendships with fellow creatives. I've been really bad at posting and having a social media presence due to the fact that I'm not getting much interaction with anyone. I really just want to share ideas and have creative talks with everyone! So, I thought this was a perfect place to come!

Here's are a few illustrations I've made (I wanna make my own comics and graphic novels )

@AjugaBee hiya! I’m pretty new here too I joined about 3 months ago. I also want to make my own graphic novels once I graduate high school. I just have so many ideas in my head it’s hard for me to put them all on paper I love your artwork! The emotions in the characters are really well done

Hi! I joined back in 2020 but didn't participate until recently. Welcome back! I feel like this is a great way to connect with other illustrators.

@MiaNova hi! Thank you so much! I totally get having SO many ideas it's almost overwhelming I really love your style! Your characters are so full of life! One thing I do to keep track of my stories is I write them in my notes! I feel like it's helped me a lot.

@ksfabian Thank you so much!

Your characters are lovely! Welcome back! I too have been away for a while, though not quite as long, and I was only a member for about a year before that. The kind and patient members of this forum and the SVS courses truly have helped my work improve because everyone has the common goal of helping each other excel and thrive. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

@AjugaBee I think I was around 6 years ago. I pop on here and there. But HELLO again!!! Went on to your portfolio, really like the light and colour atmosphere in some of your work. Nice!

@AjugaBee Welcome back! I'm new and totally agree- SVS seems like the perfect place for this kind of connection! Your work is great! The ones in your portfolio, too- I love how expressive your pieces are!

AjugaBee · 5 Apr 2023, 17:10

@Heather-Boyd hello!!! Thank you so much! I love your color palette and gentleness your illustrations convey

AjugaBee · 5 Apr 2023, 17:16

@NickyDrew Nice to meet you! Thank you! I'm in my happy place when I draw expressions I checked out your portfolio and WOW! The angles and perspective in your work is amazing!

Heather Boyd · 5 Apr 2023, 18:10

@AjugaBee Oh thank you. I just found my colour palette lols. None of my current posted work has it yet. Next week will be my first and I have gone back to redo ish an older illustration to combine traditional pencil with digital colour -so the colour too has been taken from the new palette.

Thank you for the follow and your kind words!

@AjugaBee Nice to meet you too- and discover your art ! Perspective's something I really struggle with (I'm taking SVS classes on it right now!) so it makes me so happy to hear my portfolio pieces look ok! Thank you for looking at it, and for your kind words!
