      I'm glad that an explanation of how I arrived at this illustration is not a requirement for entry because I haven't a clue.

        Although it is November, my idea for "SLOW" borrows from another month. I thought of the old saying "Slow as Molasses ... in January" and used it here. Hope that works.

            Slow to me is Fall through Spring in Seattle as I wait for the rain to stop.

                          My Slowvember for this month: "Staying Up Late." This has been on my plate for a long time so it was nice to finally call it finished, at least for now! This is the first part of a series of 3, about a young boy in the 1960's who loves aviation, who then goes to bed and has a crazy dream involving his stuff animals, and flying. Currently on the middle painting where he doses off to sleep. Oh and yes the TV is babysitting in this scene lol. Good to be back here on svs!
                          Thanks for the prompt Lee!

                            [Here's mine. This took FOREVER as I took my time. It's painted in watercolor, finished digitally. Hope you like it.]

                            Every morning before the sun is up and the air is still chilly, Henrietta Turtle goes for a slow and winding walk. By the time she reaches her favorite breakfast diner, she’s usually wearing a cozy new coat made of the finest web.

                              The epitome of SLOW: a tortoise. (Well, others could vie for that honor...sloths, manatees, my father...) Here's a little tortoise portrait, one of my first forays into digital drawing with Procreate, iPad, and Apple pencil.0_1543616200246_SLOW tortoise.jpg

                                I haven't done sculpting for quite some time. Thought this might be a fun one to put together with individual cutout watercolor background elements.

                                  To me, slow means a) taking my time with my watercolors and b) walking arm-in-arm through the snow. Also uploading on the last possible day!

                                    @kathrynadebayo Your illustration makes me giggle. I love looking for all the animals. Their expressions are adorable.

                                      This is still kind of a work in progress as I'm still looking to get and apply feedback for this piece ([https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/6723/feedback-for-thumbnail-sketches-for-howl-s-moving-castle-contest/9](link url)) BUT I thought I might as well post it here, as it definitely qualifies as my "Slowvember" project. And of course it is actually aimed at another competition altogether, but I'm not above double-dipping πŸ˜‰

                                            Slow entry - Isle of Dog. Part of a series I'm slowly creating called See Creatures. About other-world creatures from myths and legends and their just as strange modern day counterparts.

                                            I posted this too early the other day - should've been WIP. I wasn't being slow enough.
