Our SVS Virtual Studio MAY 2020 🌸

I got a new iPad and am trying out Procreate. I really love it. It is far more intuitive than Photoshop so far. Here is a quick sketch I threw together in an hour or so...

@demotlj Eastern Bluebirds are nesting in my bird boxes now, too! I love to watch them and enjoyed seeing your watercolor painting

Wow I completely missed April Virtual Studio...but anyway, still working on these from Easter. I was rushed at the end because of greeting card deadlines, so I wasn't thrilled with the outcome but I'm glad that I learned so much working on these two. I'm trying to decide what direction to take with composition and mixed media for my future cards.

Yesterday I got the wonderful chance to see some of my neighbour's calves so I did a gouache painting of them in my sketchbook. I've only started using gouache so I've a LOT to learn:)

@aprilshin Thanks - yeah I like the idea of watercolors more than I like the outcomes of when I use it

He may not have many repeat clients... but I've heard he gives amazing life advice.

Originally, I was going for a scary character, but this face looks far too friendly.

@xin-li What a lovely composition in the second illustration

[nadyart]

Lovely work everyone!
I am working on this sequence of illustrations for my portfolio.

@Elisheba thank you. I feel the spring now, especially after been home for so long
@nadyart It was inspired by one of the first days I took my kid out to the park after being indoor for so long. We discovered the blue flowers were everywhere in one of the quiet small parks nearby where we live. :-).

@EliaMurrayArt Very cool piece! It reminds me of Beetlejuice.

[nadyart]

@Braden-Hallett Awesome character hahaha

Playing around with gradient maps in Photoshop. I quite like the foundation they lay and I can paint right on top of them to save a lot of time.

Trying out a comic style on Procreate. I really need to draw from reference but oh well.
