NOVEMBER CONTEST: SLOWVEMBER
-
Hi everyone! So this is my very first time submitting to a svs challenge. I'm pretty new and only in the past month or so started getting into children's book illustration, even signed up for a local (in person!!) workshop on children's book illustration starting in Jan so I'm excited about that. I'm still working on finding my style, I work traditionally and I love to draw in mostly pencil/ink/watercolour but I decided to bust out the acrylics on this one with a little digital fine-tuning at the end. I'm not super happy with how I couldn't get the details that I wanted with the brush.
So is my Canadianness showing?? My original idea was a girl with braids playing hockey but decided it would be more fun with friends...this is very intimidating I might add
thanks for looking!

@SFischer I love the colours and the silhouette of the ape!

Hello! This is my first post to an SVSLearn contest. Thank you to Lee, Jake and Will for providing this opportunity for us to learn from them. I am having so much fun!!
-
@SFischer brilliant
-
@SFischer I love this one! The creativity behind it and the action are great. Made me laugh out loud.
-
@Connie-Resch hi connie. I love your background hills, trees and colors in the sky. I live in a cold climate and I get the feeling of a cool winter late afternoon when I look at it,

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting here in SVS Forum, there's a lot of amazing artist here.
I've wanted to enter in one of the art contest for a long time now, just haven't had the time to actually participate in any SVS art contest, i feel that the Slowvember challenge works perfectly for my current situation, currently looking for work an trying to provide for my family.SVS courses are very cool and i found the courses to be very well done, learned allot about how to do Children books art and character and story development. all on which i am very interested in.
This illustration is called:
Kurtoise & Harry
The
Xerocole investigation

I too haven't had much time to take slowvember really slow this month, but I am still happy to say I spend a fair bit more time developing and working this one out. I needed bookcover examples for my portfolio, and this is gonna be one of them!
Hope you like it. Lots of great work this month!

@chrisaakins this is fabulous really!
-
I decided to repost my entry as I wanted to tweak few things! hope is allowed!
-
@SFischer I'm really laughing at those bananas! But also overall, a very nice piece with a great gorilla silhouette. And the red is a nice touch, too.
-
@Lucelfo thank you!
-
Decided to go with the 2nd piece. Even though it wasn't the first one that I had spent the most time actually doing, I think this one definitely took the most thought and planning and effort into getting what I wanted out of it.
"And so Maribelle, James and Henry ran to meet countless adventures that year. It was the best summer they together could ever remember."

@SFischer Love this SO MUCH! The concept is hilarious, the texture is awesome, the colors go so nicely together, and the composition rocks! I think you totally nailed it with this one. Great work!
-
So many amazing pieces! Here’s mine!
-
@LauraA I agree I love the textures and that hot red skyline. A great picture With added humour
-
I wonder what criteria Lee’s going to use to judge this one, it must be tricky as there’s no single prompt. Does he take into account the whole process and journey of the artist too?
-
Yay, I finished it!! I've really enjoyed this challenge and I never usually spend so long on any one piece but I learnt so much from this process. The preparation seemed very long (I often don't prepare at all) but then the actual painting part seemed to go so much quicker than usual, probably because I'd spend so much time planning. The painting was done with gouache and collage.
