      @Jenny-Lindqvist yes. Just make sure it's less than 500kb. I didn't know that for a long time.

          Hey everyone! I'm going on a long Thanksgiving vacation through the end of the month so I have to stop working on this and just submit it!

          Huge shoutout to everyone who gave me a critique when I was stuck. I printed out all of your comments and considered them one by one. Can't tell you how much you helped!

          PS: I can't figure out this file size biz. Is this too large?

          Happy Thanksgiving!

                  Hi everyone! So this is my very first time submitting to a svs challenge. I'm pretty new and only in the past month or so started getting into children's book illustration, even signed up for a local (in person!!) workshop on children's book illustration starting in Jan so I'm excited about that. I'm still working on finding my style, I work traditionally and I love to draw in mostly pencil/ink/watercolour but I decided to bust out the acrylics on this one with a little digital fine-tuning at the end. I'm not super happy with how I couldn't get the details that I wanted with the brush.
                  So is my Canadianness showing?? My original idea was a girl with braids playing hockey but decided it would be more fun with friends...this is very intimidating I might add 😛 thanks for looking! hockeygamesmall.jpg

                          @SFischer I love this one! The creativity behind it and the action are great. Made me laugh out loud.

                            @Connie-Resch hi connie. I love your background hills, trees and colors in the sky. I live in a cold climate and I get the feeling of a cool winter late afternoon when I look at it,

                                  Hi everyone!

                                  This is my first time posting here in SVS Forum, there's a lot of amazing artist here.
                                  I've wanted to enter in one of the art contest for a long time now, just haven't had the time to actually participate in any SVS art contest, i feel that the Slowvember challenge works perfectly for my current situation, currently looking for work an trying to provide for my family.

                                  SVS courses are very cool and i found the courses to be very well done, learned allot about how to do Children books art and character and story development. all on which i am very interested in.

                                  This illustration is called:
                                  Kurtoise & Harry
                                  The
                                  Xerocole investigation

                                    I too haven't had much time to take slowvember really slow this month, but I am still happy to say I spend a fair bit more time developing and working this one out. I needed bookcover examples for my portfolio, and this is gonna be one of them!
                                    Hope you like it. Lots of great work this month!

                                          @SFischer I'm really laughing at those bananas! But also overall, a very nice piece with a great gorilla silhouette. And the red is a nice touch, too.
