@Chip-Valecek Entries must be posted by 11/30 at the stroke of midnight
️ No time zone specified. Which Time zone does this apply to? Gmt - 7? . I'm pst, so it's 9:19pm right now, but 10:19pm gmt.. I don't want to miss out over time zone issue. Thanks! -
My first attempt at an SVS contest! I went back to a previous piece I spent a month on in October and reworked it a bit to meet this deadline. I may continue with my initial project from November at a later time but right now i'm trying to finish some full color spreads from this story I wrote so I can send out my dummy book! Everyone's work looks great! I loved seeing everyones progress. Wish I had photos to share of my thumbnails and character design from this spread but they are all packed away. I think the most beneficial part of #slowvember for me was @Lee-White Questionnaire, it asked some really thought provoking questions that really helped me understand how I want to move forward as an artist.

This was a great contest this month. I had a lot of fun and learned soooo much.
I enjoyed putting all the contest energy towards a project I was working on anyway!
Very pleased with the results. Thanks @Lee-White and all those that gave feedback on the forums.

@Jonas-Zavacky This is just great. Love it.

-Edit, smaller file size to meet the 500kb requirement.Lack of time this month. I started and finished this today, only got about 5 hours into it. I see many things I could touch up and refine. Will take this further later.
Pencil sketch, digital colors. -
This is my first time participating in a contest here, but I've been listening to the podcasts and lessons for awhile now.
I thought a lot about what subject matter was inspiring to me, and so I chose to illustrate this moment with my kids. I wanted it to feel like the moment I walked in and saw them, so I was going for a kind of private peaceful moment. Also, since I tend to avoid backgrounds I took that as part of my own personal challenge as well.
Check out my art and tutorials :)

So I was’t sure I was going to get this done. But I have been working on character consistency. I still have a lot to practice! I have enjoyed looking at all the entries.

@CosmoglotJay I love this, I could see it in a graphic novel. There's a beautiful eery feel to it.
-
@carlianne this is super sweet...love the little details

@CLCanadyArts beautiful work!
fireplace scenes are always speaking to me! -
@Robert-Maine Thank you! Glad you like it
-
@anya-macleod thanks for the tip.
@Pamela-Fraley Saw your work on Instagram. Beautiful piece. I am also learning how to work with watercolor and pencil. So glad finding people here on the same journey.
@Rachel-Horne thank you. Your piece is very playful. I have been looking at a few illustrators working with paper collage, and I want to bring some of the collage energy into my own work. But I do not know where to begin. -
@suenaumi I come from a painting background too and this is my first entry. I think what you've created here is beautiful!
-
Wonderful work everybody!
-
@CLCanadyArts We should be more specific with the cut off time. I will discuss it with the judges and see if we can get a actual time zone cut off. Most everyone has them submitted before I start to pull them all for the slideshow, so its really not an issue.
Great work everyone! I am getting started on the slideshow, it should be ready later today!
-
@Rachel-Horne Thanks! That’s what I was going for - glad it gets there for you.
-
@CLCanadyArts wow this really looks great!

@deborah-Haagenson Thank you so much! I am pretty frustrated because I have no idea how to post an adequate picture of a 24x36 canvas on here under 500kb in a way that does it any justice? I suppose its finally time to face the digital world head on and learn what i need to learn (I've been resisting it big-time.) I just don't want to give up the feel, smell, and emotive quality of oil paint, and yet I realize my work just doesn't seem to fit in here. I'm curious, how does it feel to you to transition from traditional painting to digital?
