Our SVS Virtual Studio December 🎁 2019
-
Really tryin' to focus on a process that I can follow every time.
-
Taking what I learned from slowvember, a few master studios, and mixing it all in with my process and this is the result.

@Chip-Valecek Nice
-
Finally able to get to a project where I need to create groups of animals for 9 posters, and just completed the first group tonight. Also, I think sometimes you just have to illustrate a happy pig.
-
Oh, and I forgot to share my favorite piece that I worked on this year. It was this Adventureland poster, because it let me define a new detailed, retro style for myself in vector, while limiting myself to 7 colors. Also hippos.
-
@Chip-Valecek wow! That's really good! I'm impressed!
Here is my favorite piece this year. I like it because I learned a whole lot about inking doing the class with you guys and the characters really evolved into recognizable little mice.

I took a long break from drawing and participating in the forums after being discouraged about my art but now I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. I don’t know why I didn’t think of doing flash cards sooner but while trying to teach my daughter the alphabet it just seemed like the obvious project to rejuvenate my drive to become an illustrator. I think I’ll change the font before I finalize them but this one is my favorite so far.

Working on a new story with my pal Peanut Butter!

Color and value studies before I start the finals.

For something totally unrelated to anything else I've done, I just finished a little Christmas village out of foam and cardboard for my wife this past week. Got the lights wired up this last weekend.

@jdubz This is something I really want to get myself into!.... Did you sketch the model or you went head on to build?
-
@josegalue25 I did a sketch only for sizing. I taped 8.5x11 sheets to roughly the size of the thing (I think this was like 22" x 44") and then I blocked in where the houses and church were actually going to go so I didn't get lost. The houses were surprisingly difficult to keep the scale right in my head.
So the initial "sketch" was just placement boxes for borders.

One of my mother's favourite Christmas activities is baking cookies and other goodies. Last Saturday we did just that. After the cookies came out of the oven, one of them was already split so mom and I decided to eat it. I split it again and gave a piece to my dad.
-
I finished my story!!! Now I have to make it into an actual book
-
@jdubz that’s so cool, how did you do the water?
-
@peteolczyk it's just acrylic paint, and then I applied a 2-part resin to it that cures in like 24 hours.
It was supposed to be like 2mm thick to help add depth. But when I sealed that off on the end and poured the resin in, it began to ooze all over the table lol. So, if you work with resin like that, REALLY make sure you 100% seal that sucker off.
