Hey Gang, its cool to see the prompts return, I thought I'd try it out.
Right now I'm focused on building out new work for my shop.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting anything on this forum, just started trying out SVS a few weeks ago
It's fun to see all the submissions and how different and original they are! Greetings from Sweden!

Lovely autumn, everyone

@kasia_lyman so happy you are here and great work on your first submission!

Hi-
A submission for "Flight"!
-
I colored the piece and prefer to go with this one rather than the black and white piece shown previously.
-
I hope it’s not too late! I had another idea and thought it would be cool to have a duck and squirrel fly an old Navy Boeing Kaydet.

Hi Michael- your take on the “flight” prompt is neat, these little birds have a mighty tough-looking flight instructor.
The the next thought I had was the plane in the background is compositionally in the instructors mouth which is creating some confusion. It kind of looks like the instructor is eating it. You may only need to adjust the composition to solve, but there are potentially other solutions too. The plane could be blurred slightly along building since they are in the background.
Also the flag behind the instructor is interfering with the silhouette of the flight instructor because it has similar colors…it makes the instructor look like he’s grown a fin. I’d move the either the flag or the instructor, change the color of the flag, or make it so they are not touching.
Is the plane going to be used by the little birds instead of flying with their own wings? The plane may not need to be there or could be on display less prominently if the little birds aren’t planning to use it and it’s more of a prop.
Looking forward to the next “Fix Your Art” live event:-)

@KathrynAdebayo, sorry it took so long to get back to you about this! This is what I was told:
Yeah, I would still say that we do have an age requirement of 18 to use any of SVS's services. Not that there's anything inappropriate in the content, but none of it was developed with kids in mind. SVS has always been geared more toward college age+ students. However, if an under-18 student were using SVS with the guidance of a parent or legal guardian, we would be fine with that.
I hope that helps! Feel free to ask if anything specific comes up.

@RobinCampbellArt Wow! Thanks for The insights. Well taken.

@AustinShurtliff Hi Austin, thanks very much for getting back to me about that. Sounds good!

@AustinShurtliff So, this is the first time I've submitted anything for critique (Critique Arena or HTFYA). Is the chosen picture announced ahead of time? Or is it "Tune In to SEE WHO's ART WAS CHOSEN"?
Also, I would love to watch LIVE. It will be next Thursday - 11/16, yes? At What time ?
Thanks!! -
@TheresaMuth, this week's livestream is on Thursday at 2 p.m. MT. We used to announce who would be selected for the top 16 for Critique Arena a few days early, but we haven't done that with HTFYA.
