Our SVS Virtual Studio DECEMBER ☃️

Pamela Fraley

Not very Christmasy, but a friend of mine asked me to paint her moms house. I just finished it and was feeling kinda blah about it. I think because it’s just a flat picture of a house. It’s not interesting. I’m tempted to paint a bunny or something into it…

One mural drawing down, six to go…

What other buildings would be fun to see in a small town?

Frogpunzel

@chrisaakins Nice! Maybe an ice cream shop? Library?

This is the next piece in a series I’ve been doing that follows this character.

@chrisaakins Aw I love this so much! Buildings I love seeing are coffee shops, library/bookstores, and old apartment buildings!

Work progresses! Gonna get all the backgrounds painted, and THEN sketch and ink the characters.

I’ve been working on lighting this month! Here’s the first one I’m happy with!

@andreazupcsan wowww so good!!

Ghostshipmatt

@andreazupcsan - That's really great. At first I was like, "what the heck is the glowing thing? There's snow so it can't be a firefly, I wonder what, OH!" Really pulled me in. Nicely done.

I tried making my own version of one of Beatrice Blue's pieces and I had a lot of fun with it!

@jenn Oh! It's Heidi! I love that book!
I love the second image and the close-up on the goat! Its eye seems a little high on its head, but I really dig the new perspective on the scene. The characters facing away and heading off the page capture the "hurry up!" feel!

@jessicalinnevans thank you so much! It is good to get positive feedback on the composition.

@aprilshin thank you!!

andreazupcsan

@ghostshipmatt thanks! I have to give credit to my husband for the bear. I originally just had the footprints and he gave me that “I’m not really sure what is happening or what I should be feeling” talk. I’m glad it paid off!

Progress is made! I wonder if coyotes are tasty... probably not.

TessaW

Poor coyote!!! I don't think they'd be very tasty if you ate them like that.
