I am working on my fundamentals. This year is the year, I have decided to finally go for my dreams, therefore need to get my basics right

I just submitted my application to the Adobe Creative Residency. [screaming excitedly inside my head]. Now I'm going to forget all about it and continue doing the work I was planning on doing anyway.

Random color study, my thought was what would happen if I use an unusual color for grass and sky.

@Braden-Hallett Your old man character has so much personality! I love it.

I finished my fox cub comparison on Bristol board, hot press, and cold press but have to wait for daylight to try photographing them to see which works best so in the meantime, I drew and painted some bunnies in Procreate.

I'm working on a children's book with an independent publisher here in India. It's a short term project (~2 months) but I'm still excited since it's my first publishing contract
There's a lot I have learnt over the past few months after joining SVS and now I've finally started planning my official portfolio. I have a couple of pieces I need to rework and a couple of new concepts which I need to start from scratch. It's all so overwhelming:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: !

@Braden-Hallett when you approach the silhouettes for these characters how do you do it? Trees are easier for me. Do you have a character design in mind, and then add shapes or how do you build your silhouette? Thanks I know this is a gallery, it’s not a critique it’s a question lols.

@Heather-Boyd

It depends! Sometimes I'll use the silhouette for more of a pose, sometimes I'll try and really figure out the shape of the characters. Sometimes I'll do a sihl for pose and then a sihl overtop for the actual silhouette. I'll usually do little studies for faces, interesting props and stuff before putting them together.

Thanks for keeping this going every month! I haven’t been a regular participant in the forums or the contest in a long time but posting here keeps me motivated to keep working and (when I find time) participate more. This little guy is the latest of my flash card project.
