      @will-terry-art Hi Will my name is Tyson Ranes you are welcome to use this image. Like I said in an earlier post I have nothing to link to, intact this is my only social media at the moment. EDITED INFO ON CONCEPT: >> "This is an angry Pig named Pickles. He has a wood working shop that he can never seem to keep clean he has allot of baggage. This is him standing in his shops back door tired off at everything. He has never known his true family, he lives in a small town where everyone knows him as a grump until one day when his Dad walks into his shop then everything changes long and short of it pickles gets a new lease on life and now the towns people are cheered by his stunning reformation. - I wanted to do something that popped color comp wise and I liked this sketch I did so I figured I give it a go!"
      Thank you0_1489023509677_Pickles the Pig.jpg

        @Joy-Heyer Hi, I was just looking at your spot and I know you were asking for Will's critique, but I just wanted to say, I think this would look really fun if some of the flying objects were actually coming out of your illustration shape. Like the green plate at the top--if that were shown whole, along with some other objects breaking over the edge you've created for your vignette, I think it would be really cool. As I said, take it or leave it since I know it's not my critique you're after. I just thought I'd mention 😉

          Wow - thanks for the submissions - greatly appreciated - I'll probably critique this weekend. I edited my original post - something I forgot to ask - can you guys please edit your posts and tell me what your concept was? Thank you!

                    Hey @will-terry-art , I tried with this illustration to do draw 50 things. It's a about little girl fear of her sick mother, and creating this world and characters around her to understand what is happening. Hope it's clear 🙂 My website is http://markomancic.weebly.com/ Thank you!

                      Hi @will-terry-art and thanks so much for this possibility!
                      This is an illustration I've done for a client (the book is already finished and soon will in print) still - I'm not 100% happy with how it looks. And I do not know why. It's a double spread for Alice in Wonderland picture book.

                          @Sarah-LuAnn Thanks! Honestly, I'll take any feedback! After you look at your own work long enough you either see only the bad or only the good so it helps to get another's insight. Having the objects break the border of the vignette is a great one!

                                @Tyson thank you! It's all done in photoshop, the sketch, rendering, everything. I used a pencil-like brush (with a little help from SVS tutorial on photoshop pencil brushes) and draw with it like I would if I was drawing it with actual pencils. It's a tedious work, but it still saves me a lot of time (unlike the real pencils and paper)

                                  Hi
                                  I would love some feedback on my draw50things piece. I originally designed Becky (a spaceship pilot) and her dog so thought it would be fun to explore what type of world she would live in. I have plans to develop this world further by designing the ship and the rest of the crew.

                                    Hi Will,
                                    I love your idea of critiques on your YouTube channel!
                                    Here is an image based on a nursery rhyme:

                                    (http://www.denisetonner.com/images/denise-tonner-whither-so-high)0_1489083813386_whither_so_high_small.jpg
                                    If you use it, a credit and link would be fine.
                                    In my illustration the kids get to go up in the basket.
                                    The image was etched in copper and hand coloured with watercolour.

                                    There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
                                    Nineteen times as high as the moon;
                                    Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,
                                    For in her hand she carried a broom.

                                    "Old woman, old woman, old woman," quoth I,
                                    "O whither, O whither, O whither, so high?"
                                    "To brush the cobwebs off the sky!"
                                    "Shall I go with thee?" "Aye, by and by."

                                      @mag Awesome thank you! I have CS3 Photoshop and a Wacom tablet just got them up and working so I only have 2 rendered Photoshop pieces one is on this post "Pickles the Pig" (Pig in an apron in his workshop doorway) and the other is another Post I did on here unfinished > http://forum.svslearn.com/topic/3015/raven-his-writing-desk-work-in-progress

                                      I want to get a new Photoshop but (this might sound ridiculous) but I dont understand which one is the normal one to purchase they seem to have this monthly subscription purchase thing??????? What is that? am not familiar with the brushes in Photoshop and once I get the updated version Im on it! Im in a big discovery phase right now and am chomping at the bit like a horse on crack cocaine except Im a dad on coffee. With my work I don't like messy (which i do messy), thats one of the many elements that appeals to with your style and thats one of the things I need more comprehension and work in. Thank you for the reply! What Photoshop do you use? Is it pay monthly?
