March 2024 Submissions - How To Fix Your Art

@Larue this is a great scene! I love the lighting and the scale of the griffin compared to everything else, very striking. It looks like you might be working with traditional media? I'm new to illustration and I don't know how to do digital drawing yet, so forgive me if I'm asking a silly question. I'm just curious about the different tools people in SVS are using.

Hi Erin,
Thanks. I come from a traditional watercolor background but am now using an iPad and procreate and just bought these digital brushes from this artist who I really admire. Just started using them on this prompt, so far love them.

@Larue Very cool, thank you for sharing. I really thought it was traditional watercolor!

Thank you for feedback! I might try this in color eventually.

@Erin-Hawkins
This would really pop with color and added! -
@Larue I think you’re right - that would help with everything, especially the hybrid animals to help distinguish the yellow/brownish fur parts vs the feather parts. I think I’ll try color after I get feedback from htfya. Thank you!

To those who saw my sketches, this was the one my family wanted to see brought to color, so here is a second entry.

First time making a post and submitting!! This was done in watercolor and ink, with only minor photoshop work to bring the color up from the scan. Please tell me what you all think!

@R-Fey-Realme thank you
You have a fun story concept too! -

Alright guys,
this is my first time submitting for HTFYA, as it was one of my illustration goals this year.story:
The story takes place during the Williamite War in Ireland, at an Earl’s castle that lays on the edge of the rocky coastline of the North Atlantic. Our protagonist, Ian, lives a miserable existence as a servant in the kitchen. Just off the coast, a griffon dwells in a cave. Attracted by a sparkling gemstone that Ian hides in his cloak, he begins to visit the castle to get a glimpse of it.
One day, the rocky coast gives way, and the kitchen falls off the cliff taking everybody with it. The griffon, who has been watching Ian for some time, swoops in to save Ian (this will be the picture for April’s prompt). The griffon takes Ian to the seaside cave dwelling, where a horrified Ian assumes that the creature plans to eat him. He soon learns that the griffon is interested in the gem he has.
we will see if I turn this into a real middle school or young adult story some day .. but I sure am having fun researching for the story.. lol*

Alright, figured I would call this one done for now and get it uploaded. Came down to the wire for me, but managed to power through. Had fun with this one, and I like the current direction my work is going so I am going to continue down that path.

@Joshua-Chennault
Nice work and a lot of it! I love the pacing of the story. Nice set of expressions! -
@Larue Thanks! Yeah, it took me longer than I hoped it would, but at least I have a better gauge for something like this now. Hopefully be easier with time.
