SVS Virtual Studio MAY 2024

[Coreyartus]

I took a gelli plate monoprint class this last weekend and fell in love with the medium. I've done almost exclusively digital work for the last 5 years, but now I’m pondering different ways to make narrative images combining traditional and digital techniques.

I’m just at the beginning cusp of exploring, but I’m already layering my own digital illustration and other images over the top of the monoprints and creating new things, so we’ll see. It’s exhilarating to return to traditional work and contemplate a merging of the two. I’ve always loved the richly textured and open illustrations of Pamela Zagarenski, and now suddenly I have a tool that sort of opened a door for me… I’m really excited about how I can use these pieces and drawing out the story from within them. SO much to explore!

@Coreyartus Really, really nice! It feels fresh, creative, and really interesting

@Coreyartus I love Pamela's work too. These pieces you've created are terrific, so dynamic in colour and textures.

I've been working on how to draw kids in my art style and wanted to make potential character designs for future projects

@ArtistErin Thank you! I paint textures traditionally with acrylic paint, scan them and upload them to Procreate, essentially "cut and paste" shapes digitally, then adjust the colors and values!

I'm not always good about sharing my art. All of these pieces were made pretty recently though and I wanted to share.

@Sarah-VanDam
Nice! I did a lot of this type of work too, not any more though, unless a friend asks or something.

@ChloeGreenbergArt
Lovin' the textures and color palette. Is this for a story you have written?

[MerryMary]

@Larue thank you!
