October 2024 Submissions - How To Fix Your Art

Arthur Campling

@Henry-Compton Nice piece! I did read that Peter De Seve first does a pencil-drawing, then paints an undertone (like burnt umber) and then he draws with ink, paints some more, and then draws again with ink. I've got a guide from him that I can send to you if you would like?

Henry Compton

@Arthur-Campling Wow, that’s such an interesting process, I didn’t expect that. Yea if you sent me that guide, I’d appreciate it a lot!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for submitting art this month for my prompt! It's been so fun seeing all your creative ideas and interpretations! You guys are so talented; it really motivates me to see all your beautiful work and makes me want to try harder and grow as an artist.

I love that SVS gave us students the chance to submit suggestions and I'm looking forward to more interactivity with the new site launch this month.

Much gratitude!

@menalkhan I REALLY like how you rendered this one, everything reads really well even without color and has nice depth. Really inspiring style here!

I dig the outlines around the characters, gives me Paper Mario vibes. I could totally see this art style in an indie platformer game.

@Enni-Heikura I loved the little video!

@Jeremy-Hamann Thank you so much for the kind words, Jeremy! I'm glad this piece resonated with you, I’m overall fairly happy with how it turned out! And haha, Paper Mario vibes is a fun perspective I hadn’t considered before!

@Reb-Erlik I love it. I really like the the inking and the charcoal-like texture on the areas painted black
