    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. August_dragonfly_contest_David_Starfas.jpg

                      Here’s my entry for this month’s critique arena contest. I’m not sure how I feel about it as it’s the first time I’ve tried to create anything without line work (just to try something different and venture outside of my comfort zone) but I’m submitting anyway.

                      Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is bringing to the table. For some reason this prompt stumped me more than expected so I’m curious how others tackled this one.

                      Oh, I also decided to throw some text in there for fun. It could be a big misstep but I figured I’d give it a shot anyway and see how it fared.

                      Good luck everyone:)

                        Hello everyone 🙂 this is my first time entering. I have been doing children's book illustrations for independent children's authors for the past year or so and I want to up-level my skills here on SVS.
                        Thank you to all who helped me with this piece in the thread. Loving all the different styles and perspectives so far.

                                @ryleygarcia Awe! I love this one! The park & ride look spot-on, and that would totally be me getting dragged onto the dragonfly against my will 😆

                                  @Gabby-Correia Love how this came out especially that painterly sky and leaves! That giant dragonfly looks really believable 🙂

                                      Hey everyone. This is my 1st entry on svslearn. I'll be honest, I didn't give the story much thought here, as I was running out of time, so this was mainly some practice for me, and I was determined to finally make an entry regardless of the outcome.
