Hi Braden, thank you for this initiative, it's so inspiring and valuable to see how other illustrators work. Learning a ton!

You're most welcome! I'm learning a whole ton, too

Your picture book is beautiful and I am in awe that you did it in such a short time. I’m looking forward to learning about your process. See you Saturday!

@Braden-Hallett Do you use the main SVS facebook group to set these sessions up? or is it a different smaller one?

Wen Sylvestre

@NessIllustration That was a wonderful showcase, thank you so much! We have a bit of a similar work process, but it was really interesting to watch how you simplify and cutify (is that a word?) the shapes and how you work with vectors. I love the watercolour look of your work and your playfulness with compostions and perspective.

@xin-li I just looked at your portfolio, your work is really beautiful and so well done! I love the rendering, the compositions, the concepts. Looking forward to your showcase!

Listening to @NessIllustration's showcase now. Thanks so much for organizing this, guys!

NessIllustration

@Wen-Sylvestre Thank you so much Wen, I'm tickled pink that you enjoyed it!

@LauraA I hope you like it, dear!

@NessIllustration thank you so much. I followed your's and @Braden-Hallett's advice on how to speed-up the illlustration process. It really helped, especially about doing the process in batches, and set up mini-deadlines. I will talk about that on Satruday.

@Mara-Price, @Wen-Sylvestre Thank you so much. See you on Saturday.

Neha Rawat

Great portfolio and lovely book @xin-li ! Looking forward to your session! I hope I can stay/wake up in the middle of the night to attend one of these live! (but the recordings work perfectly too)

LauraA

@NessIllustration Yes, I did, thank you! But it also makes me realize how much I need to simplify both my drawing and process! Good job!

NessIllustration

@LauraA Well, not necessarily! I like it as simple as possible, but there are many amazing styles that can only be achieved by more complexity. Everyone is different, and extreme streamlining might not be the right fit for you.

Jeremy Ross

Hi @NessIllustration, thank you very much for your showcase! That was neat to watch your process, especially seeing how you work in photoshop.

I’m a procreate guy for now, and definitely very sloppy!!!

Also thanks to @Braden-Hallett for organizing the event! Let us know if you need support on the Zoom subscription.

Coley

@Neha-Rawat yes it would be fun if you were there! On the other hand, if you're not there, you assume no risk of being on YouTube video having not washed your hair for several days like I did Oh man LoL

The book arrived yesterday. Just in time for me to show the real thing over zoom meeting tomorrow :-).
