Our SVS Virtual Studio 2019!

Third posting in this thread--I'm trying to repeat what I'm working on each month on the 2nd. It's quite a random bunch of stuff...Hehe... I just completed this piece as an experiment with some new Procreate brushes I got from Uproot.shop made by an Australian woman named who goes by Abbie Nurse, and who makes THE best Procreate brushes I've ever EVER worked with. I am a HUGE fan of all her stuff, and when I need a brush of my own I just adjust the settings and maybe pop in a new brush tip or texture and it's completely different!! She's amazing.
But here's my project made by experimenting with her new Nostalgic Illustration brushes and I. am. in. love. with them. This is based an old stuffed toy I have that I grew up with. It has seen better days, but I love it so. I still have it (it has to be around 40 years old now).

@burvantill I love this piece-both the before and after. The watercolor is more subtle-and I can see that the lighting/glow was a challenge. Of course digitally it's possible to tweak, and the adjustments you did look great.
I had it on my learning schedule for the year to do this in February--but i have not completed the Creative Composition class yet--and that's a strong recommendation to learn first. I think your composition is well balanced. I think the two large monsters on the sides balance each other by having similar size, but appreciably different colors that make them each strong, but they don't overpower the small well-lit artist. Well-done! -

Thanks for the link to Abbie's (new to me) shop--I've picked up a few of her brushes before and so am glad to check out her updates.
I really like the textures in your piece. And I think you nailed it with the figure-it really reminds me of old stuffies-including the worn color and the stitching.

@Susan-Marks Thankyou. I appreciate that very much.

This is fanart of another artist, @pants on twitter -
@burvantill yes. Three kids of paint with actual gold flakes in it. Looks so cool in person.
-
@chrisaakins I wish cameras could capture that. I’ll bet it looks great.

Love seeing everyone's work!
I'm working on a book based on these characters.

Hello SVs friends, if you come to my desk, I'm experimenting with acrylic technique on my sketchbook...
-
@Lucelfo What type of paper sketchbook do you use because I have always found I needed to use a more firm surface for my acrylic? I am super excited to see you use acrylic in a sketchbook.

@Heather-Boyd Hi Heahter ! oh yes I do and this sketchbook takes much more paint than I put on ...it 's ZETA line from stillman and birn I believe... I love it! the paper has a layer of primer on it I think, as it s for mixed media!

@Lucelfo The colors on your picture is great, and I love the frog's bright and happy face. Thanks for sharing!
There is beauty in life!

I've done about 100 thumbnails over the last week for a class I'm taking with smart school. Here are some slightly refined ones.
One assignment is a slightly fantastical portrait so I'm using my bf as a model with his dogs and maybe a bow as a DnD style ranger updated to modern day. Maybe a hoodie instead of cloak. The second ones are from a creepy Neil Gaiman story "Snow Apple Glass"

Daily character prompt: "Fashionista"

Back to playing with characters and expressions for a bit . ‘New puppy - Who dis?’ Remembering my rather opinionated kitty, Lewis, who never seemed to embrace change. Wondering if the pup’s tail is reading as .... umm er ... appropriate?
