SVS Studio OCTOBER 2024
-
Love it @MarcRobinson !!!
-
Happy Halloween everyone!
-
@Jeremy-Ross cheers mate.
-
@MarcRobinson This!! I love it!!! Are you planning on making more of these? I was actually also thinking about draw-cut-glue illustrations, but it took too much time and I gave up. Seeing how you tackled this is AWESOME!
-
@mag hey thanks Mag. I had a blast doing it but it takes ages, so I'm not planning on doing another just yet. I think I'm gonna take some time off to work solely on a personal project. I keep getting distracted by these prompts!
-
@MarcRobinson THAT is a really clever and cool technique!
-
@StudioHannah thanks, it was fun to do, but very time consuming.
-
I'll post the pictures here for now since the November studio hasn't been created yet.
I tried a looser coloring technique because coloring and over-coloring have been my stumbling blocks. It's definitely more enjoyable to color with the new brushes—it feels like I don’t need to add as much color for it to show up. I tried to make these fairly quickly to avoid over-coloring.
-
This is one that I’ve been experimenting with for a long time- finally going to call it finished.
-
@jvartandillustration The characters all feel like notes as well, something about the shapes you used for them.
What did you find to be the hardest part about this piece? What was the easiest?
-
@StudioHannah Oh, wow good questions. This piece was one of the first I started making after moving away from raster and into vector art (I'm using Affinity Designer now almost exclusively). I set this one aside for a while until I became more proficient, but I think it is really challenging not really using an eraser, but rather just trying to manipulate the shapes until they look right. The easiest parts are always the starting sketches, because the end product doesn't always turn out how I envision when I start sketching, though I'm sure everyone around here has that issue as well.
Thanks!

@jvartandillustration Aaah! Yeah, the techniques for raster vs vector art are very different, and you have to use your brain differently when making them. You did a good job, I actually didn't peg it as vector art at first!
-
@MarcRobinson I love this @MarcRobinson !! I love that you kept it all in graphite! There's something so dang satisfying about cut paper. Yes it's super time consuming. I have a whole slew of cut paper supplies, a dollhouse I built out of paper and so many ideas in my head it's sooooo enticing. I get it, all the prompts... I want to do it all and I end up feeling sooo frazzled at the end, I get the distraction part LOL!!
Currently waiting for the signed contracts to show up in my inbox before I begin client work and holding back on beginning December's prompt! Yet, doing this somehow levels me up and I am grateful for feedback nonetheless...

@ArtistErin hey thanks Erin! Yeah it was great to do some tactile art again. It's so satisfying isn't it? Excited that you might get a contract signed soon, but yeah it's always enticing to keep doing these prompts. And you are right, they often help with levelling up.

@jvartandillustration I really like the movement you have here, your character design and choices in shape, lighting, very nice!!
