This is great, thanks. Realised later that Hammock was involved in the album - another great band 👍

Oh blow, I forgot the 'art'! 🙄 First time posting for this.

Happy #kidlitpostcard day!
Here's one of my spreads from the riotous, The Monster on the Bus, written by Josh Lieb.
I love illustrating with humour, in a bit of a sketchy style.

A promotional graphic for SCBWI Artober 2024, featuring the hashtag "#scbwiArtober2024" and a list of 31 daily art prompts for the month of October. The prompts include words such as "Whispers," "Mirror," "Hay Ride," "Plaids," "Fog," "Cocoa," "Clock," "Umbrella," and "Sunset." The background is a deep burgundy, decorated with autumn leaves in the top left and bottom right corners. Participants are encouraged to share their creations on Twitter (X), Instagram, and BlueSky using the hashtag.

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 👍🏻

Does Creativity Wither with Age? 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 🙂

HAPPY CREATING ✏️ 🎨 🙂

Thank you 🙂
I have a 12.9", 1TB, 16gb ram, 2021 iPad. The 16gb ram gives me more layers in Procreate, but I really wish they'd make it with limitless layers 🙏🏻

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 🙄

Look who's joining Procreate 🥳 🙌🏻

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 🤣

An image of 7 profile pictures. The top reads: “Join the conversation.” The bottom reads: “Bluesky Starter Packs”

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.

Best lettering raster brushes in Affinity anyone?
Thank you 👍🏻

It's to do with the way the app's built. Artists have been asking for more layers for a very long time but it's still not limitless yet, which is a shame as it's a great app. Also the file sizes when exported as PSDs are huge compared to if the same file is created in PS. So that's not great either.

Pretty much all of them, but Affinity works best as there’s no layer limit, and it has all the bells and whistles of a desktop app which I need to deliver client work in the right format.

Affinity do have a learning hub if that helps, plus there’s YouTube.

affinity.serif.com/en-gb/learn/

It’s a learning curve but I’m getting there now - some things are intuitive as they’re similar to PS, and other things have taken me a bit to find/figure out.

The iPad version is so convenient, especially as it has EVERYTHING (ie guides, proper cmyk) unlike PS, Fresco and Procreate 🙂
