Artists! Looking for a fun October challenge? Use the hashtag #scbwiArtober2024 when you post your prompt-inspired art! I've modified the prompt graphic 😜 to include Bluesky (I checked with SCBWI to make sure it's ok). www.scbwi.org/posts/scbwi-...

Does anyone have any recomendations for an iPad stand for artists?

I have a Sketchboard Pro 1 atm but my neck is still suffering and causing bad headaches 😬

I've ordered an iPad magnetic arm to try out, but would welcome any other ideas - thank you 👍🏻

The reverse could actually be true, but it depends on how you spend your time.

Posting a #CoverReveal or #BookBirthday? Credit the ILLUSTRATOR. Not only are you helping boost the artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.

Esp for cover reveals, also credit book designer.

Last year was a bit of a loss portfolio/work-wise as I had a few (that's putting it very mildly) health issues due to uterine fibroids 😬

Anyway, because of everything going on I totally forgot I'd created this piece for Highlights Magazine's May issue 2023 🙂

Got an email from the @affinitybyserif team and thought I'd post it here in case anyone's interested, or quitting Adobe 🙌🏻 - scroll right for details.

Erm... I'm back in #Procreate - I missed Kyle's brush I use for lining (Ruff Sketch) WAY too much.
Plus, I love using Procreate.
And yes, I started this again for the umpteenth time 🙄

Someone's selling a TARDIS on FB Marketplace UK.
I'm SO tempted to message the seller and ask if it's bigger on the inside 🤣

Today, we’re releasing starter packs — personalized invites that allow you to bring friends directly into your slice of Bluesky! 🚀

Update to version 1.87 of the app or refresh desktop to create a starter pack. (It may take a moment for version 1.87 to appear in the iOS App/Google Play stores.)

Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many

Hi, #kidlit artists! I'm seeking a MG (ages 9-12) illustrator for a coming-of-age mystery story featuring friendship, adventure, and an elusive white wolf.

Would LOVE to find an Indigenous NA illustrator.

Respond here with images and a link to your folio. Please no DMs. Agents welcome to email.

Starting the final art for this portfolio piece again after my exit from Adobe.

I've finally settled on Affinity, and I've found an alternative line art brush to Kyle Webster's Ruff Sketch.

Hopefully Kyle will create brushes for Affinity now 🤔 🙏🏻

Website sorted... well still a few bits to add.
I've used Carrd - really love the simplicity and clean look.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions 👍🏻

Has anyone got any recommendations for a portfolio website?

I've deleted my Adobe Portfolio & Behance and need to sort something out asap. Squarespace is too expensive.

No coding - I can do it after a lot of head scratching but I'd rather not.

Thank you!

A few Photoshop/Fresco alternatives if you're wondering - hope it helps 🙂
