SLOWVEMBER?

[Coley]

@jdubz I'm all over the place too in style and technique. Feeling pretty confused actually really needing to try to figure out how to shut the noise out yet learn at the same time and just find my own way.... It's hard!

[jdubz]

@Coley Yeah. What I've started to do is the extremes. So for example the last couple weeks I've just been doing a quick sketch, then painting everything all on one canvas. No layers. No undoing, just adding paint. I started doing some value only stuff a few weeks ago and I think I'll spend a few weeks in November doing the full value (black and white only), then laying down gradient maps for foundation, and then building overlays on top of it layer after layer. I've got a few more "styles" that I've seen that I think I'm going to just work through and do kind of a "this or that" thing where I try and determine which way felt more natural and what results I felt looked more right to me.

I’m eager to give Slowvember a try but I can’t think of a scene to draw. Something that I can be excited about and look forward to giving a little TLC every night throughout November. I’m hoping whatever I d]end up drawing can become my new mousepad

Slowvember is HARD. That is why I wanted to make it. It forces you to slow down and make concrete decisions. Not so easy! Good luck everyone!

Every illustration I do is slow, and I'm going to be away for the first week of November, so I'm thinking Slowvember should be about my speed! Sure, I'm joking, but the idea is to finish something, so it should still help.

Slowvember is becoming more appealing by the moment.

i am new since this month and i look forward to doing slowvember for the first time as i participated in inktober for the first time :D. nevertheless i do think i will still be sketching and inking daily besides this portfolio piece. i have a lot of catching up to do

@Lee-White Life in general for me has been moving pretty fast the past few years so I look forward to anything slow. Except maybe slow drivers in front of me in traffic

I will be doing a slowvember/draw50things combo after the rush that was Inktober. Have my idea for a story picked out. Will begin with the thumbnails Nov 1st!

The second half of November will be the moment I actually quit my job and take some vacation time before I transition into a freelance career in the new year, which will hopefully include some illustration work as well. So yes, I am in!! (free time in between jobs is essentially going to be dedicated to making portfolio illustrations!)

@Elena-Marengoni Perfect timing!
