I've done about 100 thumbnails over the last week for a class I'm taking with smart school. Here are some slightly refined ones.
One assignment is a slightly fantastical portrait so I'm using my bf as a model with his dogs and maybe a bow as a DnD style ranger updated to modern day. Maybe a hoodie instead of cloak. The second ones are from a creepy Neil Gaiman story "Snow Apple Glass"

Daily character prompt: "Fashionista"

Back to playing with characters and expressions for a bit . ‘New puppy - Who dis?’ Remembering my rather opinionated kitty, Lewis, who never seemed to embrace change. Wondering if the pup’s tail is reading as .... umm er ... appropriate? ‍️

@artwithashley Color palette is fantastic!!

I'm currently making an illustration for the loading screen leading into the weigh-in for my bass fishing game.

For my next illustration, I need to paint a butterfly flying quickly. This is a watercolor study I did for it but I’m not sure yet whether to use stronger line on the contours.

A DND Kenku Bard. I think I've finally tweaked my 'pencil' brush to start to work with my inking style.

JerrySketchyArt · 6 Mar 2019, 19:26

@Braden-Hallett Love it! That pencil work really adds a nice touch.

To prep for my plant ABC’s and for Book Cover in partial gouache, I made a Lilly of the Vally painting. My mother’s favourite flower.

I love gouache but still have loads of exciting things to learn while I work with it.

I have started a 24hour Sabbath and so last Saturday I started a really old Paint by Numbers but didn’t have the paint anymore so I moved to my free gouache I was given.

Then I started this yesterday and completed it today. I might need to work on stronger paper. Anyways I hope you like it! I certainly do.

Please forgive poor lighting.

Making some forward progress on the weigh-in scene.

My next illustration is of a butterfly beating a horse in a race so I made a maquette of a horse to help my lousy spatial skills. I never would have known how to do this without SVS - it’s so much fun! (And next time I’ll put it on a stronger base. I had to take this quick before it toppled over.)

@Braden-Hallett Did you draw this picture digitally? If so what brushes do you use? The lines look great and convincingly like pencil (of course if it is pencil! :face_savouring_delicious_food: but they look too clean for that).

Judy Elizabeth Wilson · 7 Mar 2019, 16:38

@kylebeaudette omg this made me laugh. good line work.

braden H · 7 Mar 2019, 17:25

@avfarrar Allllll digital I use two HEAVILY modified brushes in Corel Painter. A super grainy 'oil' brush for the sharp pencil and a tweaked 'real' tilt pencil for everything else.

braden H · 7 Mar 2019, 20:55

prompt was 'youth with dragonbone headdress'. Turned out very 'prince' mononoke :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

JerrySketchyArt · 7 Mar 2019, 23:10

Pretty happy with how this one turned out.

demotlj · 8 Mar 2019, 17:39

@kylebeaudette I love your figures and always look forward to seeing what you have created. I have just started making maquettes for my drawings and really like the process. I have found videos about making armature but am wondering if you use any light weight material like foam on the armature to fill up space on some of the larger areas before adding the clay. If so, what do you use and do you have any tips on applying it?

MHardt · 8 Mar 2019, 20:26

@MissMushy so cute!
