      The epitome of SLOW: a tortoise. (Well, others could vie for that honor...sloths, manatees, my father...) Here's a little tortoise portrait, one of my first forays into digital drawing with Procreate, iPad, and Apple pencil.0_1543616200246_SLOW tortoise.jpg

        Slowing down to stop motion...
        I haven't done sculpting for quite some time. Thought this might be a fun one to put together with individual cutout watercolor background elements.

          To me, slow means a) taking my time with my watercolors and b) walking arm-in-arm through the snow. Also uploading on the last possible day!

            @kathrynadebayo Your illustration makes me giggle. I love looking for all the animals. Their expressions are adorable.

              This is still kind of a work in progress as I'm still looking to get and apply feedback for this piece ([https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/6723/feedback-for-thumbnail-sketches-for-howl-s-moving-castle-contest/9](link url)) BUT I thought I might as well post it here, as it definitely qualifies as my "Slowvember" project. And of course it is actually aimed at another competition altogether, but I'm not above double-dipping 😉

                  What a lovely place to sit and relax. Makes me want to sing a little Otis Redding!

                    Slow entry - Isle of Dog. Part of a series I'm slowly creating called See Creatures. About other-world creatures from myths and legends and their just as strange modern day counterparts.

                    I posted this too early the other day - should've been WIP. I wasn't being slow enough.

                      My oldest son just started to drive, so the first thing that popped in my head was how he would be at a stop light LOL

                        And... I'm not sure this submission is right for this forum, but I DID go slow and work on this painting for the month.

                                @Laurasketches oh, I love a good watercolor. That’s beautiful. Soooo beautiful. And that moment, they surely wanted to last forever. For time to just slow down. Beautiful piece.

                                @Chip-Valecek I was wondering when grandma was coming! You have a driver, good luck man! Piece turned out nice!

                                @Jon-Anderson that pesky little dog. I bet he grabs shoes and toys and everything in his path. Looks great. Totally cracked up when I saw it. Great redunduring too!

                                  @Johanna-Kim @NelliA thank you! I’ll be making a few tweaks to it before sending it in for the competition, but overall I am very pleased with how it has turned out. I’m glad you like it!

                                      Hopefully this isn’t too late. It’s alright if it is though. I’m just really swarmed as of the moment. I hope you guys like it though. Thank you

                                          @kathrynadebayo i absolutely love you pencil shading on this one. Did you do this by hand? It’s amazing! I also love your concept. You could call it ‘Beadroom Zoo’ or something.

                                            @laurasketches i love the level of watercolor skill on this one. This is watercolor i wished to achieve but never really fully realized. I also love the sunrise/sunset lighting. It highlights the ‘slow’ time of the day.
