      @annastenger hey thanks! Yeah I'm glad the stool falling over came across, because I was in two minds about it.

          @Mariana-B great question! Yes, you can submit a single comic page (you probeblly could even get away with a douple page spread as long as it is in a single image file). We've had serveal people submit sequntial art for past promts. Let me know if you have any other question that come up (you can email me, austin@svslearn.com, or send me a private message through the forum).

            @annastenger this is so cool! Thanks for taking the time to share this! I haven't been doing a lot of finished artwork the last few years (mostly just sketching and doing rought hand drawn animations) and really need to work on rebuilding my rendering systeme. Just curious, when you render in step 5 are you saying use the 6B pencil to fill in all of the large solid colors in your illustration, as well as the line work? Do you select those larger areas or just color it freehand? I love all the texture you create with that process.

              @annastenger also, I might ask about doing a blog post or something like that about your process in the future if thats all right. I think it would be really instructional to share this with everyone.

                @AustinShurtliff I color it ALL in by hand… I’ve tried a few work-arounds (brushes, copy and pasting fills) but nothing looks authentic and the edges look goofy.

                And sorry to do a big process post here. I’ll put it some place else next time- I didn’t know about a blog section?

                  @MarcRobinson This is so good. I love the concept and execution is really good. Sorry to hear about the 72 dpi thing. I've been there before.

                            @annastenger, don't be sorry. I'm super happy you shared that here. We once did a blog posts where we featured SVSLearn students, and I was just thinking it might be fun to do something like that again, especially with some of the changes coming to SVSLearn.

                              @annastenger your colour harmony is always bang on. I definitely need to be more conscious of selecting a limited pallete like you do.

                                @MarcRobinson Oh thanks man!! I had historically been so bad with color that I had to pull in the reigns A LOT and focus on just a few hues with tints and shades... I'm getting a little more confident lol

                                  Since I haven't really done any covers, I decided to dive into one for the September Prompt.

                                  @MarcRobinson @annastenger @cgibson Loving the entries for this month!

                                        I’m loving all the different styles and ideas everyone has come up with! So much variety and creativity 🙂
                                        Here´s my September submission, an attempt at a double spread.
