Our SVS virtual studio

[Jabbernewt]

Just finished up a little game for next week at the studio I work at. We've got this thing called, "Pirate Day," where kids go from small business to small business and do activities for stamps, and my place is doing, "Pin the Cannonball to the Hull." Hopefully the kids don't get too caught up in being the cannoneers

@rcartwright this is hilarious! I can't wait to see how it turns out. thumbs up!

[burvantill]

@jabbernewt fun! I might steal this idea for halloween games. =)x

I’ve been working on concept characters, colors, and consistency.

[Jabbernewt]

I've been stuck painting a Trump caricature for almost a week, but finally calling it done today. I wasn't able to finish last month's competition, but fingers crossed for next month!!

@burvantill great idea!
I have been going at this project for quite some time now, I have always admired the show Mad Men, and wanted to put my mind into a frame of mind for the....Draw 50things challenge, but early 1960's style...trying to fill the shelves for sure. So many straight lines to consider!
All in all, I have an imaginary sequence done, but wanted to connect the story.

@adrian-k @adrian-k can you tell me what the colored paint dots are for? I get that they are colors from the sketches but how do they help you in your process? I’ve seen others do this and am wondering what I may be missing out on. Lol.

@burvantill in Procreate I press and hold to copy the color, in photoshop it would be the color picker. Makes for a great way to keep color consistency. Special layers like color burn & color dodge will alter the palette so it’s usually a good idea to make it the top layer if you are painting on a lower layer. At least in my process.

@adrian-k ah! That makes sense. Thanx!

I just finished watching the "How to Draw Everything" course, so I've been practicing some of the things I'ver learned. I also had put together a Facebook page for my Illustration that I never published so I did that today! https://www.facebook.com/scotthigginsillustration/

@Gary-Wilkinson ..so well done as always. Sad commentary, but so well done. @rcartwright that just made me laugh..just great.

Ive been working on an illustration which will be given to a writer to come up with a story for it. I can't wait to read it. Illustration and accompanying story will then hang in the library in Albuquerque along with several others for the month of September. The theme is 'Lost and Found' ..I entitled this 'Isla's Pearls'
Dragons are everywhere, I suppose I was influenced.

I did a quick Harry Potter sketch, kind of liked it. So, I’m practicing my painting technique on it. WIP atm

Love the idea of a virtual studio.. here are some of the things you’d see in my corner!

[Buddy Skelton]

Been working on my ballpoint pen draftsmanship. Learned a lot from doing these. I also challenged myself to do these without any pencil sketching underneath so if I made a mistake I would be forced to make it work.

Closer to finish.

I've loved looking through this thread, but haven't posted yet. Just last night I finished up my first "BIG" project that started 5 years ago. I honestly feel kind of weird without the subconscious prodding from my brain to get the project done. Feels like I have my life back, but also a strange sense of loss. Here are a few pages from it... 34 full color pages, watercolor, done on 19x24 bristol paper.

Think steampunk meets, Dr.Seuss, meets comic book.

@rachy Love the wall

[burvantill]

@artwithashley these are great! I hear that a lot of artists feel that loss after a project is finished. Jump back on another horse ASAP.
