@Josy Welcome! You should definitely try the monthly challenges; they are lots of fun.

@Cory-Leick Hi Cory!! thank you so much!! I am not an active member of SVSLearn but I love to sometimes chime in here although not posting actively for a long time. But thank you to say hi! thank you for adding me on Linkedin!

@donnamakesart thanks so much, Donna!! yes, you can dm me through IG if you want too 🙂

@Asyas_illos thank you so much!!

@Richard-Matthews thank you, Richard!! 🙂
@Jim-Algar thanks for your kind words!! 🙂

@Valerie-Light Thanks Valerie

@Ash-Lamb Welcome! Nice colors and texture 👍

@Isabel-Reyes-Feeney Welcome!

Hi Richard! Welcome! The foundations curriculum is really solid! Thanks for sharing your nice tree 😊; it’s great to just jump in!

@carlianne You're absolutely right. I guess I need to think about what I actually want to accomplish with my work, and what kind of stories I need to tell.

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome.

Unfortunately, my 4 day work week just ended but I hope to renew it later during the year and maybe even transition to a more permanent arrangement. To offset the lack of art time, I have begun scheduling specific hours each week which have been set aside for different drawing activities. Monday evenings are for theory and exercises for instance.

@Casual-T Hiya 👋 Thank you for you comments. Drawing the burger made me hungry 🍔 Good luck with your Veggie Kefir 🙂

@Jeannelle I like the channel by Kesh. Very funny!

@Jacy13 @Nyrryl-Cadiz @Kiel-Ewing
Thank you very much! I'm hoping that I can get as much as I can from the curriculum!

Hi Emma! I love how your art has changed- I see how the composition has improved.

@Kiel-Ewing Welcome! I'm pretty new too and people have been so helpful already 🙂

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you so much for your kind words and also your time. The first post i've made and I've already had the benefit of coming to a realisation on where I should first take the brunt of my work! I wonder how long it would have taken me if I hadn't posted on this forum...

It's strange, the TPP podcast just now came into a conversation too on how people need to specialise into a particular form of art for their portfolio instead of just art in general. Very odd timing!

@burvantill thanx! :))

@NessIllustration Thank you for the welcome. I am working on the Yeti right now! Looking forward to posting it!

@txels welcome to the forum!

@Jade-Yaert welcome! I also joined recently (last summer) and will be looking for fellow classmates to follow along the foundations program level 2 after Xmas (I will likely have finished level 1 then, just working on light & shadow).

54 hours a week to study illustration, that is great. I also went down to work part-time a year back to free up time for arts and other personal activities, but I will be working at a much slower pace than you 😅 - I can maybe allocate 10-15h?

Anyway hope to see you around and share our progress!

Are you scrambling for work too?

@Rachel-Horne Thank you so much Rachel! Love your work, too!!
