Hi there! I hope you are all doing well!

Here is my entry

I don’t really know how this works..my image appears a little fuzzy after resizing, sorry about that! It’s my first time posting an image on the forum..and it’s my first digital artwork. I learned a lot in the process (and am so aware of how much I need to learn)!

Hi There! I wanted to challenge myself by illustrating a double page as I'm watching the Children's book course at the moment and really like to try out all of the different page formats and combinations (Vignettes, Spot Illustrations etc.) Also its so inspirational to watch Jake working on that dummy of Little Red Riding hood! Also its lovely too see all your takes on the theme! < 3

"Legend tells of a mythical creature that plagues the swamplands to the East. Many brave adventurers have sought to slay it, none have been seen again."

Thanks to all in the forums for their help, always very much appreciated.

@ChloeB-artistry woah! Love this scene. The lava frogs look formidable and I feel the tension for the poor paper dragonflies! And I’m curious about that magical paper clip.

Hey everyone! This is my first time joining the forums and entering a contest, but what I really look forward to is getting to know the community and trying to get myself dedicated to what has one been my dream - to pursue a professional path in illustration. I have discovered SVS Learn podcasts just before the quarantine started, and in a way, this is what really helped me get through this year. I did put my instagram handle here as well, though I've literally just opened it up, so I will start with everything anew. I have been painting for years, but also had a good few years of a total hiatus... so I am participating now to make myself accountable, and also plan on subscribing to classes. I see a lot of amazing concepts here and am looking forward to learning from you all! For the new beginnings Thank you!
