SVS Virtual Studio DECEMBER 2023

@Robyn-Hepburn Eavesdropping and drawing is definitely one of my favourite activities. Crossed conversations are so funny, aren't they ? I am currently going quite often to the same cafe at the same time of the day just to get a chance to "catch up" on a local group of retired people and they crack me up ! Plus, the ladies often wear hats, so they're good practice.

This is very lovely @Robyn-Hepburn. I can’t believe the lady was swearing with a kid at the table!
This looks like a full spread in a Picturebook! Well done ensuring nothing was lost in the gutter.

Hi @Adam-Thornton-0 , looking good! I can tell it’s top down view; however, I’m sure the colors and rendering will highlight that bits an Indian market place.

@Julie
i would love to see their sketch -
@Julie Haha! That's a brilliant idea. I do know of a café nearby that's frequented by retired folk - I do hope they wear hats!
I love your negative-space bird. Timed drawings are great, hey? Especially together with other people. -
@Jeremy-Ross Thanks! I was trying to just ignore the gutter, but then that lady was slipping into it too much so I did scooch her over a little bit.
Ah, no, thankfully there were no kids around - that tiny human was just from a table further on the left but I wanted to squeeze her in! (I liked her hat.)
-
@jvartandillustration Beautiful! I love how you've drawn the village, and how tired Joseph looks.
-
@Robyn-Hepburn Thank you!

@Ayesha-Masood Here goes !
Those two are from last week. Funny because it's quite the fancy side of the neighbourhood, and it's a betting place as well, so I get it all : workers having a beer - or two, or three - instead of a lunch, old men who have better days who come and bet on horses, people coming in for a chat, and those posh ladies who come for a very proper coffee, or a glass of wine. It makes for fun eavesdropping. Boy, these ladies are fierce. I wouldn't like to be one of their friends and be talked about when I leave !@julie_rossini_lib

@Robyn-Hepburn Thanks, Yes, I've learnt a lot by doing that ! and everyday too. @blueshineart has a live everyday and it's definitely made me realise that I "can" draw even if I can't, you know... I'm fearless now
No matter how bad the result is. I'm still having fun.@julie_rossini_lib
-
@Julie awesome sketches Julie. Hahaha… staying clear of these ladies would be the best
-
@Ayesha-Masood Yeah, I'm better off making friends with the betting guys I'm sure
-
@Julie Absolutely! That's how I feel too, thanks to blueshineart, Beth Spencer, Good Ship Illustration and others. "Draw loads and enjoy it" is what I've been living by this year.
I love those people-drawings! The ladies sound terrifying. -
Who loves Guinea Pigs?

Slowly but surely building up my cover design for the Discworld novel The Colour Of Magic. Still loads to do, but I want to make sure I have the best portfolio pieces I can manage. My agent wants to shop around my newest work at the Bologna book festival, so I'm under pressure to get a handful of show pieces done before then! Que panic attack!!!!
-
@MarcRobinson I love that I can see the imp! He looks adorably friendly.
-
@Robyn-Hepburn thanks! It was difficult to resist the temptation to zoom in and render him fully.
-
Looking amazing @MarcRobinson
-
@Jeremy-Ross cheers mate.
