SVS Virtual Studio MAY 2022

@Jeremiahbrown thanks Jeremiah! Took 2 years, but honestly it was SVS that helped me. Illustrations are much freer than portraits, and doing them digitally comes with that helpful undo button. I can't even count how many times I'd retry the same line over and over again. Without svs, I don't know that I'd be where I am now with my hand.

@AngelinaKizz interesting suggestion about the pan pastel. Have you used that before as a base layer? Do you have to spray it with a workable fixative before adding colored pencil layers?
I used gouache because I already own a tube of white and I didn't want to purchase anything new for an experiment.
Doing experimental illustrations on toned gray because I have a story idea where most of the book will be black and white, and I think the toned gray will be really impactful on the illustrations. But then the end of the book introduces color, and I would want to keep continuity in the artwork and use the same paper throughout. Which is why I'm testing how to use color on toned gray. Whew! Complicated explanation, but that's why I'm doing what I'm doing.

The colouring is amazing love the shadows
