Honour Among Crabs

Workin' on folds.

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

Who needs this truck load of treats? This is part of a spread I'm still tweeking the background and shadows.

[Heather Boyd]

@Coreyartus

Pretty impressive.

[braden H]

Not done yet, but the prompt spoke to me, lol

[BichonBistro]

@Coreyartus wow!

[BichonBistro]

@Braden-Hallett I challenge anyone to come up with a challenge you can’t illustrate

[demotlj]

@Coreyartus Really well done. That's the next video class I want to do when I finish the How to Ink one.

[demotlj]

@Braden-Hallett I'm going to give up drawing and just come up with prompts for you to do! When you're done, I'll buy a print

[Coley]

@MichaelaH me too, slept so much in first trimesters! Sweet illustration

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett this is awesome

[Erin.Cortese]

@Braden-Hallett This is SO good! Your work was really good when I joined SVS last November, but over the past couple of months it seems like your style and skills have really evolved. Inspiring work!

[braden H]

@BichonBistro @demotlj @coley thanks! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

@Erin-Cortese Thanks! Everyone always forgets (or doesn't realize it at the time) but skill acquisition and learning isn't always linear. I think a few switches flicked or puzzle pieces clicked

[Erin.Cortese]

@Braden-Hallett I needed to hear that, thank you. I fell into that trap, or rather expectation of linear progress. It’s incredibly unhelpful because it makes me feel like I am digressing instead of learning. Each time I focus on a new skill, it seems like my other skills (which are still developing) get worse. Waiting for that ‘click’ when my skills begin to play nicely with one another

Another of Santa's helpers collecting magic for next Christmas! Today I had a difficult challenge with the colours, the jungle was green now it's pink!

[MissMushy]

Reworked piece for assignment on another site. Really pushed myself to draw characters multiple times. Character has become younger since my first iteration and am trying a looser style. Also, love playing with symmetry tool in Procreate so been creating these silly bugs (?) before bed to relax.

[braden H]

Trin'' to put the inking course to work I think this is the first time I've done an honest to god spread, too.

@Braden-Hallett

And its an environment design -everything is coming together.

[xin li]

I fiddled a bit with watercolor, gouach, color pencil and a box of kid crayon. I often think of the illustrations I produce digitally are somehow mimicing traditonal watercolor and color pencil. So I decide to play a bit more with these tools traditionally for a change. Anyone has tips working with mixed media, especially watercolor and colored pencil combination?

[braden H]

@Heather-Boyd Very true

I did do a lot of silhouettes to figure it out :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
