Taildog with ketchup, anyone? :-]

Hi. A few times now, near the end of the month I’d be like: okay next prompt I will definitely participate - thinking my first entry here should be perfect, and I’d need that full month to finish. Note to self: stop whining, start shining. #finishednotperfect

Here’s my take on isolation - a blissful voluntary one.

I'm finishing this piece today, trying a few different colour tweaks before sending it to the printer... :-]

Been playing around with different renders of my June contest monkey... :-]

Hi, Anyone else about to start (or just started) the Prop Design class? Looking for virtual classmates to more or less simultaneously go through the process, share assignments, get feedback, etc. So far I've only taken a few notes, but I'm ready to get my hands dirty and dive into the first assignment... Anyone? :-]

@kritmo – Took me a while to get back on the prop horse, but here's the three standing lamps I'm leaning towards... :-]

Hi. Running a bit late, but I'm really hoping to create something for this month's contest this week – having a lot of fun with this prompt. :-]

These ideas originated from my assumption that Bongo would need some basic knowledge of physics / trajectory to pull this off – hence I'd like to illustrate the moment where he's carefully planning his 'heist'. Also I think Clyde would be more easily persuaded if Bongo's tail was dressed up like a hotdog...

I'm looking for feedback on composition (or anything else you'd like to share) and would love to hear what to add or leave out. For instance, I wonder if it's a good idea to add concepts / props, like the blue print plan or the hotdog, that are not literally in the story...

I'd love to know what you think!

I'm going for a DIY'ed lamp of a plumber, constructed of leftover parts and old tools – here's my first silhouettes (and some parts / tool inspiration)...

Hi y'all. I've been snooping around for a while on SVS, occasionally following courses, and I figured maybe it's about time to properly introduce myself. I'm Pieter from Amsterdam - nice to meet you. I have a background in graphic design, but I wish to venture into illustration way more than I do now. I love doodling friendly characters, and my style has always been very flat and graphical, but I'm really hoping to learn how to apply textures, light/shadow, etc. to bring some life to my work, and develop some storytelling skills. What better way to learn than to jump into these forums, right? :-]

Hi Basil,

I had the exact same problem today actually. First thing I did is change the color mode of the .psd files from Grayscale to RGB (which is currently the only colour mode Procreate supports).

Note that doing this might increase your file size quite a bit. Depending on the specs of your iPad you might get another error. I solved this one by drastically decreasing the canvas size (to 1/4th the original) and the dpi (from 300 to 72), resulting in a .psd file a little under 20mb, which was then (finally) imported smoothly into Procreate.

Good luck! :-]

@LisaF Hi Lisa, I didn't get an invite for the upcoming event either – could you check? :-]

@Brad-Newman Thanks! :-]

@robbery Welcome to the club :-]

@Leah – Awesome! I like the simplicity, and the cascading sides still give it a distinct, elegant character. I struggle with light and shadow myself, but the way you did it seems very convincing. :-]

@Leah Nice! Love the different angles, really gives a good feel of the structure. If I had to pick one thing I'd tilt the top part of the handle on the 3/4 top view just a little bit (to the left), to align it with the nozzle on the front – it now feels a tad askew.

@charitymunoz - Love to see what you'll be making, just chime in whenever you have the time! :-]

@Leah - Love to see what you come up with! :-]
