Hi SVS!

Roxane Ferreira

Welcome to the forums !! I really hope you enjoy your stay here ! I don't really know all the monthly challenges out there but there is also the 100 days challenge where you practice one particular skill for 100 days It is hard, never got past 20 days. I never finished inktober either oups.

Welcome! The only challenge I have ever done is Slowvember, and two of the monthly contests (one of which was...Slowvember!).

I think the SVS guys have a good point when they say to pick where you need to go next and choose your challenge accordingly. Depending on what you need, there are people who do the curriculum together, people who critique the monthly contests, and people who do monthly challenges together. So choose the challenge you need, announce you're working on it, and see if you can get some people to join in! We all learn from one another, and that's the best part.

Welcome. Nice work. I like the texture you use. Is that Copics, like Frankie @ColbyGreen ? I liked your instagram posts particularly the last one.

I haven't done a "one-drawing-a-day" challenge yet. I have tried to participate in the monthly cues, though.

Frankie Rogers

@ColbyGreen nice to meet you thank you for the compliments. That first one where I did stylised Pokémon is a slightly cheaper marker but that last one is watercolour.

I came to realise this year that Jurassic June may have not actually been a thing as dinovember is much bigger.

I think I'll give mermay a go this year, it's definitely something I've not played with before. Thanks a bunch for the support

Frankie Rogers

@LauraA hey there. Thanks for the advice, I've just started the curriculum, squeezing in an hour after work each day and am really enjoying it. I think I will share my progress like you say and hopefully interact with some cool other people along the way

Frankie Rogers

@sisimite-azul thank you. That first image is markers but the dinosaurs drinking from the pool is watercolour. I have been considering joining in with those prompts too

Welcome! I like doing the monthly challenges on the forum here. Also SCBWI and their local regions have contests sometimes as well. I've done some of those and have found them to be a good way to get ideas flowing.

Hi Rankiedraws. Welcome. Your drawings look awesome. Keep it up and good luck in your journey. I have also decided to make 2020 a successful art journey year for myself. And so I have joined SVS to learn and get in touch with other learning artists

Frankie Rogers

@Eywin thank you and good luck to you too! May it be a successful year for both us

Frankie Rogers

@KaraDaniel I will make sure to look into that scbwi thingy

Frankie Rogers

@Roxane-Ferreira doing 100 days of the same thing sounds like an excellent way to improve that skill. I have always failed inktober too. Really going to go for it this year though
