      @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've not been on the forums for a long time, but have been wanting to do one of these entries and was able to squeeze in a little time to get something done.
