AUGUST CONTEST: Dragonfly

Just curious as to why nearly every illustration seems developed for children or a children's market? Is SVS specifically aimed at illustration for children? Did I miss that? Thanks!

Here's my entry... thanks for everyone for the feedback! I struggled a bit on how exactly to crop it. This seemed to feel the best to me personally of the 2-3 different crops on the original.

Instagram@Chrisperry.draws, www.chrisperrydraw.com.This illustration depicts Clara Driscoll, the designer behind the Tiffany Lamp, sketching in Central Park. LC Tiffany was a decorative artist in the 1900's Art Nouveau style. Mucha, another artist of that era, inspired my color choices. The sketches in the foreground are based on drawings she made to create the famous Dragonfly Tiffany Lamp.

@fpichel They do tend to lean more toward children's illustration and that is what the majority or students are pursuing but any entries are welcome. Lee, Will, and Jake have said that these concepts are just to help you build portfolio pieces so you should create images that will help strengthen your body of work. It is hard to win the contest if it's outside the children's illustration realm though since the students get to vote so it leans more children's style most of the time.

Hi everyone! It's my first time participating in the SVS contests. I read that dragonfly's flight is studied in aerodynamics and robotics, so here's my take on it.

Here is my entry for this month, it is meant as a title page for a cute book idea ("The little dragonfly witch") that came to me through this months prompt.
I learned something while making this .... I`ll be writing the text on a separate sheet and digitally lay it over the drawing. That way I can more easily change the font, if it isn´t legible. Had to rework so much digitally to make the word "witch" more legible.
Hope your are all doing fine! Love, Aisleen

@PhophophoWorld Congratulations on your first submittal! This is very nice! I love your story. I considered this aspect of the dragonfly myself. You nailed it! It's also drawn and rendered very well.

Hello Everyone,
I am new to SVSLearn but I have been listening to the podcasts for the past year. Finally jumped in to start previewing and taking classes. I have been selling fine art paintings for the past 20 years. Trying to transition into illustration. Let me know what you think.
