  Hi SVS, I'm Kaitlyn! I studied art in college and I've been taking further classes for the past year and a half. I've dug through the forum and listened to the podcast but havent posted til now haha. Still trying to figure out where to go with my art and how to make it marketable, but I decided to apply to some agencies this past month! I heard back from one so far called Allied Artists-- curious if anyone has had experience with them. The world of publishing and agencies is still new to me, but I've been trying to do more research since this would be my first agency. One thing I haven't exactly been able to find is how a trial representation works. Would it involve a contract or would that be after the trial? Anyways, thank you for reading! Looking forward to getting involved with the community.

  Hi, welcome! I can see improvement already in these drawings! ️ Since all of your characters are from the same angle you could try doing the gesture drawing course to get comfortable with more poses! I'm excited to see more of your work ️

  @Nyrryl-Cadiz thanks so much! Honestly, though, it doesn't feel like a ton of work and I find that whether I work traditionally or digitally (or a mix of both), it takes me about the same amount of time to illustrate. I love working both in watercolor and colored pencil, so this mixed media approach is the best of both worlds, I guess!

  Hey Geoffrey, Welcome to SVSLearn! I'm happy you decided to give it a try! I have had a similar experience, drawing on and off while having to work diffrent day jobs (mine have mainly been graphic design and teaching), and I have really enjoyed using the course here to help boost my skills. I really like the pieces you shared here and the ones on your Artstation page (I noticed the you like to do some 3D modeling too). What kind of work are you hopping to go after in the art industry? You might really enjoy trying to do a piece for this month's Critique Arena prompt (the prompt should be posted tomorrow). If you haven't checkout out the foundations curriculum, its a great place to start boosting your skills. If you have any questions or need any help with your SVSLearn membership please let me know!

  @Lorna-H said in Hi! I'm new. Discord comunity or meetings?: My question is.. does it matter that I’m a newby and a novice as regards my illustration skills? There are many beginners in the group, and everybody starts somewhere! Definitely throw in an application
