FEBRUARY CONTEST

@artwithashley Nice vertical take on the subject. Love the bubbles, including the popped ones. Is this done in watercolor and digital?

@kellyjeangillow I love the looseness and the power of it all!

@gary-wilkinson -Thanks!! I knew I wanted to do a long vertical representation but I didn't think about a phone case. That would be so fun! (PS. I'm loving watching your process for this month's contest. I can't wait to see your final!)

@josegalue25 - Thank you so much! Love the drippy water and deep colors in your piece.

@maureen - Hey thanks! It was done digitally with watercolor overlays. Those pesky bubbles were a bit tricky to figure out, so thanks for the comment!!

Got around to getting this one finished this weekend. Tons of great pieces this month. I feel bad for the judges to have to pick from this collection.

Hi guys!

This is my first time posting here on the forum. All the artwork looks amazing. So much talent! Wow!

I love SVS. I think the videos are so succinct, informative, and fun. What a great place to learn a new skill! So, thank you!

As you can tell from my illustration, I'm a beginner. The caption for this one is:

"WHO'S THE OCTO-PUSSY NOW?!"

I had lots of fun doing it and feel that I learned a lot, particularly in the colouring process.

If you guys have any feedback for me it would be greatly appreciated! Anything to help me improve...

Awesome work, everyone!
Here is my entry! I've never seriously drawn an octopus before so I was a bit nervous. But it was sooo fun!!
