@Kim-Rosenlof Whoops, link fixed! my illo work is at www.valerielightillustration.com/project-8
It is SO different working on a big scale. All your mark making is based on body movements and finding the biggest tool for the job so the brush strokes look effortless even if you're standing 60 feet away from the finished piece. One classic way that we enlarge images is by overlaying a grid on top of the reference image, and tacking down a grid made of string all over the backdrop. Then you just have to draw the detail in each 1 ft square, and make it all tie together.

Hi everyone! Throwing my hat into the ring for the first time. Hoping my concept of childhood imagination comes through. I love all the art I'm seeing and can't wait to catch the next Live Critique Arena. Good luck all!
I forgot to mention that any critiques are welcome. I’d definitely like to push myself but in the right direction. Again… good luck to all in the next CA!

Thank you all for your hard work and patience!! We are changing up the roles here at SVSLearn HQ so we are a little behind this month

@amandalo
Your reply made me howl! Haha yeh I do enjoy a pun! 
Thanks so much, I really do love drawing characters, it's definitely my favourite thing. Just had a nose at your work and your characters are absolutely adorable! And I've been browsing the past critique arenas and remember your tree house and thinking it was super cool, would have bloody loved that as a kid! Actually, I still do!!!

@marek-halko thanks so much Marek. Ooh I do love Julia Sarda but never looked at Miroslav Sasek so have been googling his work and love it, so thanks for that as I'll definitely be checking more of it out. I've been catching up on some of the past critique arenas and your work keeps popping up- love your funny concepts and honestly it's like you could be doing colour or lighting keys for animation, seriously impressive. Looking forward tonseeing more of it.
