SVS Virtual Studio MAY 2023

After a therapy session this week, my therapist asked me "do you make the art you want to or what you think you "should"?" That stood out to me so I'm diving back into landscapes and animal drawings. This summer I'll be taking some courses at CSU Monterey Bay around scientific illustration as well so hopefully all of these things will get me out of my funk I've been in for two years.
-
I have a whole list of ideas for illustrations that I haven’t started yet. Usually I pick one and go from start to finish. However, I’m trying something different where I do sketches of all of them first, then decide which ones I want to finish.
-
I really tried to do an actual inked drawing for May the 4th, but I’m still not happy with the underlying drawing/anatomy/proportions. Oh well—It was a good effort for today.

I am pleased to report that with this spread of our fearful hero puking his guts out while his dad looks on I am officially DONE final art for my book!
Now it goes to the designer and art director for revisions/typesetting and other stuff and it is on schedule to be released Spring 2024!
And now I get to do it all again with the second book

@Richy-s-ayala oh my goodness I just love this so much! I want to jump into that picture and visit this world. So much color and life to this. great job!

@lpetiti YES!! It's hard to remember sometimes that art is built on play. It is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. It is letting our curiosity lead us down a path to see what we find and what we can do. As adults I think we get caught up in being productive and forget to just play. Children are always making art and not concerned about the outcome. I have challenged myself to play with my art more and stop focusing on my "should dos" and focus on just enjoying it. not as easy as it sounds sometimes though.

@Robyn-Hepburn Thank you so much!! This made my day. I am actually considering setting up a little online shop for prints and this feedback definitely inspires me to do it!
