Read MoreI loved this. This is the first "lesson" I've participated in as I am brand new to SVS. I am an "old school" artist/illustrator and am very much interested in joining the 21st Century. The message that resonates the loudest from this is that hard work (more accurately: deliberate focus and the willingness to spend lots of time) is still the "secret" to effective artwork. Will and Piper are both very inspiring to listen to and to learn from. I'm looking forward to my SVS membership. For now I won't be able to download and use the virtual brushes since I don't have any way of using them. Thank you for your dedication and thoughtful presentation of this very talented young lady. - Larry

Read MoreThese interviews are a little like having a casual coffee with a super-talented artist who you are in awe of, and someone else is asking the questions so you can just sit back and absorb! Fascinating to see Piper's process and hear her take on so many of the issues that face illustrators and artists. Her hard work and determination (and admirable work ethic) are a real lesson and Will's cheery, friendly interview style is always tip top. I have this kind of thing playing in the background while I myself am working and I listen along and then dodge in and out to see a particular technique / workaround or piece of practical advice. Highly recommended watching.

Read MoreThis video was a great way of sharing an inside look into the process of another artist. It's not a tutorial video, so don't go in expecting that. Also if you are not familiar with photoshop then you may not know exactly what is going on as Piper speeds through her process. However, if you are just interested in watching a professional at work and also listening in on a conversation between two illustrators, this video is great.
