        Hi. This is my first entry to the SVS and I would like to share with you my BIG. Nothing speaks big to me as the balloons that parade in the street. They impressed me as a child and they still take my breath away. I wish I could see Paws (my character) one day parade in the larger populated streets of the city. Paws is Polly's sidekick. He's lazy but very nice and loyal. Characters from my graphic novel Polly and the Black Ink. πŸ€— 0_1548172165051_SVS-Contest-January-BIG-Vanessa-Bettencourt-Art.jpg

          Leafy seadragons meeting...a sea dragon! I was watching Composition 2.0 while doing this, which definitely made a big difference from start to finish.

            @eli They are! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:
            I browsed through so many (too many?) tardigrade pictures and articles before sketching this. Amazing creatures, and so silly looking...

              I had a handful of ideas I was sketching out and then my youngest son comes in and says how about a bird about to eat a worm? The bird would be big to the worm. It clicked and that is what I went with. Working on getting the time-lapse of my process up on my youtube. I will share that when its ready.

                    @aleksey I like this a lot. I love all the detail and the gnomes quaffing that big DRINK are adorable.

                            So here is my entry. I thought it would be fun to illustrate β€œBig” without actually illustrating anything that was big, just the suggestion is there.

                              @Adrian-K Wow, I love everything about this composition! The use of white space is sooo effective in this, I can’t stop looking at it.

                                β€œBig” in so many ways: Big problems, but bigger protection! This piece is a mixture of colored pencil & digital.

                                        @Adrian-K this is so darling! That little mouse holding the stick reminds me of despereaux from The Tale of Despereaux. Great job!

                                            Finally got my iPadPro and Procreate (thanks so much for the helpful suggestions from the group before my purchase). In thinking about a recent addition to the extended family, I started wondering what a baby might think and came up with this.
