Challenge 33: 4th of July - James Harling
This was both an experiment in medium and a more relaxed style. However after 2 days of finishing I disliked it so much i started work on another which I will post in a few days to come.
Back to this image, I’m english so as a joke between me and my friends we play on the fact that I’m not allowed to partake in the 4th of july celebrations. So naturally i had to draw myself alone. Beaten up, dressed a redcoat.

….. In all honestly i’ll probably be making lattes at the coffee house.

Challenge 33: 4th of July

For this challenge I picked the fourth of July holiday for a theme. You can illustrate what it means to you, what your traditions are, or what you wish you were doing that day.  Let the fireworks and hotdog cookouts begin!

challenge 32 : summer swap - guest julia lavigne to charlotte jackson


i was very lucky to get an idea from julia that features subject matter i’m familiar with - ladies doing cute lady things! and i live in one of the hottest and most tropical places in the US but don’t swim often, so seeing this part of summer is always nice to me. i hope i get to see a pool more often this season…

and um, obviously i had to incorporate a circle …

Challenge 32: Summer Swap-Molly Wilson to Courtney Wirth

Molly gave me a cute image of ants partying with a watermelon they managed to take from a nearby picnic. It reminded me I haven’t gone on a picnic in awhile and how much I love watermelon in the summer, especially at the beach! Hopefully I can get my fill this season, excluding the ants stealing the fruit away from me.

Cheers!
Courtney

Challenge 32: Summer Swap: Elizabeth Beals to Sarah Carr

Elizabeth gave me this amazing sketch to work with and I was so super excited to color. The composition and subject really reminded me of a vintage soda ad, so I decided it would be fun to turn it into one! I had a ton of fun with challenge and I hope it turns into one we return to regularly.

Challenge 32: Summer Swap: James Harling to Molly Wilson


The idea behind the sketch James gave me was that guys playing volleyball get all the chicks. Cheers for summer!

Challenge 32: Summer Swap: Julia Yellow to Caitlin B. Alexander


I wish Julia could do sketches for me all the time! This was such a fun challenge. Collaboration is a great way to get out of your rut and/or comfort zone.

The Square Carousel Collective was founded in 2011 by 10 talented, up and coming illustrators. After meeting at school, the group was initially formed around shared aesthetics, and now encompasses a eclectic range of styles. Although we all work in different mediums and styles, we share a common drive for professionalism and dedication to the field of illustration. We post tri-weekly challenges, with each artist taking a turn selecting a theme. We also discuss our illustrator lives of traveling to various conventions, shows, and living off ramen.
