Up for a “contest” still?
-
@fauxtoddgraphy I like that way you think. Funny enough, I've been doing several b/w pieces recently. Thanks for thinking of it.

I'm in with my sword wielding witch!!

I really wanted to loosened up this month. This is looking more like a dark whimsical story! & perhaps needs a bit more before calling it an actual portfolio piece, but I had fun creating! Any crit thoughts on it is greatly appreciated! -Todd
-
@fauxtoddgraphy Love this!!
-
I just happened to be finishing up a black and white piece when I saw this. I posted it in another thread, but I'll put it here as well to throw my hat in the ring.
-
@johanna-kim thanks Johanna. Are we going to see something from you too?
-
Hey, all. I'll throw in this sketch in white ink on black paper just for fun.
-
@gary-wilkinson Yes, but I thought I'd push myself to do a new one. I attended a conference recently where I heard from an art director and literary agent that including a b/w section one your online portfolio is a good thing, particularly if you're interested in illustrated for middle grade books, which I am.
-
Update I was able to finish inking it, so here's the final version.
If anyone is interested, you can see my WIP here: http://forum.svslearn.com/topic/5913/may-fauxcontest-wip-critiques-welcome. I feel like I've grown a lot with this one!
Thanks again to @jon-anderson & @gary-wilkinson for your helpful critiques!

Hi I'm new here and thought I would join in. Hopefully I'm using this forum correctly. And hopefully my morbid art wont scare you all away
-
@jody Welcome to the forums! Your mouse is cute, even if it is dead.
I really like the way you framed it with the plants. -
@miriam Thank you! I really like the improvements that you have made to your drawing.
-
@miriam this composition is much more dynamic! I hope you find time to finish it.
-
Great job everyone! I'm afraid the end of the school year sucked my time away like the machine in the Princess Bride, so I won't be able to enter this month. But I love seeing everyone else's work.

@rhirsch Congratulations on being done with the school year. (Hopefully, you didn't lose more than one year of your life! Ha, ha!)
@fauxtoddgraphy Thanks for starting up our FauxContest!
-
@miriam Yeah for sure! Maybe some more votes will come through today, not that the votes are crazy important, just happy to see all the work.
-
@fauxtoddgraphy I think you should pick your favorite and send them on an all expenses holiday lol
-
new SVS contest is being announced today. : )
-
@jason-bowen Wish I could! lol

@jody I really like this piece. It's framed really well and the values work great. Just a thought, but it would be interesting to see how the piece would be interpreted if the outline of the mouse/rat was taken away and you used the plants to silhouette it's shape, kind of like an optical illusion.
