@gimmehummus - they just sent out the following info for the upcoming meetings of the SCBWI Chicago Area Illustrators Network!
Jan 23, 9:30-Noon: Tricks and Techniques. Have you found an art supply or digital trick that you can’t live without? Come share it with your illustrator friends and expand our collective wisdom. Whether it’s a pen, paper, paint, or Photoshop filter, curious minds want to know! Mini-demos would be much appreciated. For digital artists, we’ll have a Mac loaded with Photoshop and Illustrator & projector available.
Feb 20, noon - 2:30pm (note time change): Art Director, Jordan Kost, Jordan Kost, art director at Albert Whitman will be on board to discuss the process of publishing children’s books. Come for what’s sure to be an enlightening look into how books are made at Albert Whitman, and what an illustrator brings to the table.
March 26 - TBA

@gimmehummus You know, I hadn't even considered it, or knew something like that existed. Pretty cool idea, though. I'll have to think more about it.

@Rich-Green Yes, so surprising. I just recently happened upon SVS after searching for videos on YouTube regarding illustration, started watching Will Terry's stuff, came here, and was amazed to see somewhere near the Illini Valley referenced in maybe the third post I read. I grew up in Marseilles, but have lived lots of different places in IL. Charleston, Champaign, Chicago, DeKalb, Aurora. Haha. I've never lived in Joliet, but close

@gimmehummus This empress is actually really cute. I love the colors. She is opulent, yet tribal all the same. The style is very appealing. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to develop it more with future illustrations.
-
Thank you @Pixby. I really love pastels so I think I'll keep working with it.
-
Merry Christmas!

I'd like to do a little drawing every day. Piper Thibodeau does a daily paint on twitter so I thought I'd give it a shot.
-
That is really cute! Love the texture in it too...
-
The job search has me feeling like...
-
Hang in there. Become good enough at something, and someone will pay you to do it. Simple equation, but oh so true.

Been working on character sketches for a book I'm illustrating. It's a poem about fairies sending one of their own to live with a human family. The human father is a doctor.

Great work!
I think this one is my favorite for now!
-
@gimmehummus Absolutely brilliant stuff you have posted here. The texture gives each illustration a more traditional feel, a bit different than most of the other illustrations I've seen on your portfolio website. I personally prefer the style of ones posted here.

Thank you @TamaraDomuzin . I have been working only in digital pastels lately, trying to build that style. I'm working on a book right now so I'll be able to refresh that portfolio in a couple weeks. I saw your page on Behance and it's so adorable! I love your characters

The fairies are so cute!

Lil Rey baby.

I saw an Egyptian scarab in an image search the other day and it made me want to draw one.
