      Here in New Zealand isolation under level 4 and 3 has been peaceful and a great time to draw and paint. I've been illustrating fantasy isolation spaces since the whole thing began. (This isn't MY studio! It's a fantasy!) Jane Smith | Chocolate Dog | New Zealand

              @Ryan-Ehr thanks Ryan, I think the whole thing has been far easier for us Kiwis than for people in other parts of the world. Let’s hope we all come out the other side soon!

                            @JudeKillory Put your name on it and replace the current image. It's not the end of the month yet and you still have time. It will be considerate for people to not have to track down your name if your work gets selected.

                            Edit- Realized that I might sound harsh here, when it's not my intention. I just want people's work to get the credit and representation it deserves! You can switch out your image any time before the deadline.

                                      Too often technology isolates us from each other.

                                          I finished something! Yay! Thanks for the feedback on the WIP last week. I'm thankful for every push to get out of my comfort zone. Yoon_SVS May.jpg

                                            @Tessa-Yates Hi Tessa! I’m not sure if anyone’s answered your question yet, but if you’re drawing in Photoshop, you can press ctrl alt shift S. A window will pop up where you can adjust the pixel size (bottom left area) and you can adjust the quality with a slider on the right side. It gives you 4 views with 4 different qualities (top left is always the original image) so you can compare how much you can decrease the quality without losing too much sharpness. You can also see the file size right below each image. Usually, if I decrease the pixel size first, I can still keep the quality pretty high.

                                            I hope this wasn’t too confusing! This is how I approach it and it works pretty well for me. 😁
