Featured Student for February

AustinShurtliff

We have decided to make a change to the schedule for the monthly featured student posts. This means that we are going to move the due date for submissions to the last day before the month in question (for example, the February featured student entries will be due by the 31st of January). It is amazing to see all of the great work that you keep sharing each month, and it is soo hard to select just one entry. PLEASE consider posting again if you were not chosen for a previous month (even if it is the same image as before). If you have any thoughts or suggestions about this opportunity please feel free to share them as a comment or to send me a message!

Instructions:
This post is a place to share work if you want to get a chance to be featured in the Student Art Gallery on the SVSLearn.com homepage for January. To be considered, share 1-2 of your best pieces (you can re-share an image you posted previously, but this is also a great opportunity to push yourself and add a new piece to your portfolio) on this forum post. Make sure to share your image by the last day of January to be considered. Also, make sure your images are at least 800 pixels on the shortest side and do not exceed 1mb in size. If your illustration includes text on it please post a copy with and without the text on it.
Work will be selected based off of how well the work uses the following:

Concept: how well does your illustration convey a clear concept/story. Is it a unique approach? Does it make me want to know more about what is happening in the illustration?

Technique: How is the composition working? Does it have good use of lighting, rendering, mark making, etc.? Does the technique compliment the concept?

If you are selected, we will be emailing you using the email indicated on your forum account. Besides your art being displayed on the homepage, you will also be sent some questions for a Q&A blog post that will be shared on the SVSLearn blog.

Good luck with your submissions this month!

I've been messing around with illustrating haiku's that I have written. I am very much trying to improve my drawing and painting, solidify my style and make a portfolio. So all the things!

@Laura-Mcmillan I LOVE haiku--this is so cool! This is one of my favorite books:
