Our SVS Virtual Studio September 2021🎨

Finished my series of greeting cards that will go up for sale on my Etsy site as soon as the paper arrives and I can print them out and make some product photography. Woohoo! I did them all live on my art stream, and I'm happy with how they turned out. I think they will go well with my calendar that's already for sale. I'm getting braver with the amount of detail but making stronger choices to "simplify" parts of things, too. I'm enjoying this aspect of illustration quite a bit, and will probably pursue more of it in the future.

Last two illustration of candy/food characters done.
I am now much more proficient in illustrator.

Great work all! I've been drawing these goofy trucks in my sketchbook. Will be starting some Inktober drawings soon.

@Coreyartus Beautifully done. I keep an illustrated nature journal and there are a lot of birds on my pages so I especially appreciate your work.

I painted my Aesop’s Fable piece that I posted earlier I. The thread. It’s traditional watercolor. One thing I still clearly need to figure out is how to photograph my pieces better. My scanner is old and does a poor job so I bought soft lights to photograph the pieces and still end up struggling with white balance. I may have to spring for a good scanner.

Working on getting down a character for a friends story about her grandmother and the special doll she got for one Christmas.

Trying hard to keep it loose and messy, which is a challenge with digital when there is no excuse for less than perfect, lol.

The first assignment of the illustration course I started last week was to answer the question what my relationship to illustration looks like. There are so much to explore, learn and see!

Preping for Inktober ️Back again with these two kids. Trying to push myself to draw full illustrations and characters with backgrounds. Aaaaaahhh we’ll see how it goes

@kylebeaudette The colors seem brighter in this one!

[RachelArmington]

@demotlj Do you have any print shops near where you live? I have one a few miles from where I live that scans my watercolors when needed, and they are ridiculously affordable.

[demotlj]

@RachelArmington Unfortunately I don’t. The nearest one would be an hour and a half from me. If I was trying to sell prints it might be worth my time but for ordinary posts etc I have to make do with what I can do on my own. I just ordered a new scanner — maybe that will help.

@RachelArmington probably just a filter

Hi ! I'm a new student at SVS. Right now, I'm working on an illustration that is the first project that I do since I have finished the "How to Draw Everything" class. I'm not a beginner in drawing but it was very very interesting to revisit the basic stuff. And... I just learned that if I want to do Inktober, I need to prepare some pre-sketching.
