@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.

Lucelfo

@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!

Lucelfo

@avfarrar thank you! I love the idea of an imaginary walk through our desks, it reminds me of uni..I learnt so much in those walks!

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"

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? ‍️

I'm currently making an illustration for the loading screen leading into the weigh-in for my bass fishing game.

For my next illustration, I need to paint a butterfly flying quickly. This is a watercolor study I did for it but I’m not sure yet whether to use stronger line on the contours.

A DND Kenku Bard. I think I've finally tweaked my 'pencil' brush to start to work with my inking style.

@Braden-Hallett Love it! That pencil work really adds a nice touch.

To prep for my plant ABC’s and for Book Cover in partial gouache, I made a Lilly of the Vally painting. My mother’s favourite flower.

I love gouache but still have loads of exciting things to learn while I work with it.

I have started a 24hour Sabbath and so last Saturday I started a really old Paint by Numbers but didn’t have the paint anymore so I moved to my free gouache I was given.

Then I started this yesterday and completed it today. I might need to work on stronger paper. Anyways I hope you like it! I certainly do.

Please forgive poor lighting.

Making some forward progress on the weigh-in scene.

My next illustration is of a butterfly beating a horse in a race so I made a maquette of a horse to help my lousy spatial skills. I never would have known how to do this without SVS - it’s so much fun! (And next time I’ll put it on a stronger base. I had to take this quick before it toppled over.)

@Braden-Hallett Did you draw this picture digitally? If so what brushes do you use? The lines look great and convincingly like pencil (of course if it is pencil! :face_savouring_delicious_food: but they look too clean for that).

@kylebeaudette omg this made me laugh. good line work.

@avfarrar Allllll digital I use two HEAVILY modified brushes in Corel Painter. A super grainy 'oil' brush for the sharp pencil and a tweaked 'real' tilt pencil for everything else.
