      Hi everyone,
      My name is Cathy "Myriam"Spee and this is my first time entering.
      I found SVS trough YouTube and I loved the podcasts so much I decided to join this awesome group of illustrators.
      My roots come from computer animation, but my life took me to graphic design, teaching and some entrepreneurial journeys. My dreams has always been illustration and I hope to keep learning new techniques at SVS learn. Any critiques are welcome.

        Happy I finished this time (and with time to spare! woo!) It's done entirely in watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, and pen for the eyes.

            @MirkaH I really like the sketchiness of the lines 😃 And the composition of the spread works really well too

                        @Maiia I must say I LOVE your color palette. Your perspective and character design is awesome.
                        Love what you did. 🙂

                          BongoAndClyde_SJessopSVS.jpg I definitely had fun with this one! It's interesting to see how everyone interprets the story. I played in Procreate, until I was satisfied and then used that as a map for watercolor, my comfort zone. I'm still learning to work back and forth between the two.

                                My first time entering the monthly contest. There are sooo many good entries so far! I made this in Procreate and then tweaked some of the colors in Photoshop.

                                    @Lindsey-Anderson this looks a lot like mine but I'm still only at rough stage 😬. I have the exact same expression for Bongo and Clyde! I guess it was bound to happen with us all doing the same story

                                      @carrieannebrown What a coincidence! Yes, I'm sure it was bound to happen. I'm excited to see how yours turns out! You have beautiful work.

                                        @Lindsey-Anderson thank you! Yours is gorgeous, I love the colours of the leaves especially. Just didn't want you to think I'd ripped you off

                                          Hi all. Been following all the amazing work for a couple of months and couldn’t resist entering the contest with all the ideas this prompt generates! Loving all the different interpretations of this tale (tail?). This is my first ever submission, I'm a bit in awe of all the wonderful work! Still trying to get to grips with watercolour. I was partially inspired by the “Jaws” poster for this one. 🙂

                                            @Dima-Eichhorn I love this concept! I took a beat to get it, and then once I saw what you were going for, I couldn't stop looking at it. So many things to see! Really well done.
