@Valerie-Light Just looked at the larger version of your illustration. Wow! I'd vote for you based on super fun storytelling, character design, humor, and making something kids would have a blast poring over. This could be a poster or puzzle. And your website is great. I especially like your Bio page. It has so much personality.

@Jeremy-Ross I really like the style and thanks
-
@Johanna-Kim Wow, thanks Johanna!

@Valerie-Light BRILLIANT!!! You really took this prompt and ran with it in a unique direction, full of AWESOME witty detail, and I love it!! Great characters, too. I remember the guys recently critiquing your website on the podcast, and Iâd say this is definitely one of those standard raising âpinnacle pieces.â Of course, not all illustrations need such high detail, but you have a serious knack for it when itâs called for. Super excited to see more from you⌠and I want to see if I can make something just as good.

@Sarah-VanDam WOOO Thank you for that awesome praise!
-
@Eliana-Bastidas Oh, thatâs so frustrating! Glad to see your image here, though. Thatâll be great if they can make an exception, but if not, come back again and compete again soon!

Hi Everyone, I am new to SVS, and I love the content and all the input and helpful advice I am seeing on the forum! I am a fine artist looking to ramp up my creative juices, so I am looking to learn more about visual storytelling through illustration. I joined in June, so this is my first entry into the Critique Arena! Please let me know what you think, I am open to any and all helpful advice. Iâll end with a question, can you tell from this illustration what two words I am trying convey?

@lucy_gow I love this Lucy
-
@aurelia love this Aurelia, super cute characters and lovely colours
-
@Valerie-Light ah no! It looks amazing though Valerie, please post a higher resolution version on here so we can see it properly! X
-
@Valerie-Light I went to your website and read the whole thing. If I were a kid, I'd want this on my wall in a heartbeat. It's fun and really well done, with appealing characters and layout. Unfortunately it would be hard to see in the Critique Arena even at higher resolution, but don't let that discourage you.
-
@LauraA Wow, thanks, Laura! That is really encouraging. I think I was really feeling uncertain about how this one would be received, but I just had so much fun letitng myself get carried away. I'm glad it's working.
@helenbrady you can see a much bigger image at http://www.valerielightillustration.com/projects-8

Ahhhh! First time entering critique arena! I am super impressed with the entries I have seen so far! Well done everyone!

My entry

@Valerie-Light I tried that link and it said page not found. But I did see your scenic and mural stuff. Wow! It is really cool. I am sure it is really different doing things at such a large scale. How do you transfer from the sketch to such a big "canvas" or whatever you are working on?

@marek-halko haha this is great! I love that you can just see the driver's eyes but there is so much expression in them!

Hey everyone, Iâm new to SVS, first time Critique Arena-er but long-time 3PP listener!
Iâm a full time makeup artists at the moment, itâs quite tricky doodling on the side of the day job but Iâm excited to do some of the SVS courses and Iâm hoping theyâre going to make me more focused so I can make the most of the free time I have. I did Willâs interior class the other day and loved it, loads I hadnât considered and Iâm looking forward to putting it into practise. Iâm scared of environments at the moment but love doing characters, that will probably be obvious from my submission below!
I had to rush to submit it so I want to make a few tweaks to the foreground characters, the flying egg and the posters. If anyone has any other suggestions for edits please let me know! But I made the deadline and I bloody loved drawing this, it was so much fun!
Iâve just been browsing through the forums and thereâs so much amazing work on here, itâs super-inspiring! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
