      @AjugaBee Nice to meet you too- and discover your art πŸ˜ƒ ! Perspective's something I really struggle with (I'm taking SVS classes on it right now!) so it makes me so happy to hear my portfolio pieces look ok! Thank you for looking at it, and for your kind words! 😊

      @MimiHecher I made it sound like this is the only thing I love to do however it's sort of the part of me that I shelved for a long time because I made choices in my life to support other's life dreams instead of my own. I suppose I feel like I am trying to make up for the lost years which I know, cannot be recaptured, so I am going about this in a serious way, not wasting anymore time.

      The haunting feeling drives me to learn and do things that are out of my comfort zone (learning marketing, digital software, and administrative stuff that bores the crap out of me), and as far as the practice, I love to draw and that will never change. I am worried about looking amateurish and maybe that's the heavy feeling I should let go of. It does no good to focus that way and honestly I am not where I was then so it's really irrelevant!

      Welcome! Awesome work! We’re moving to MD to the DC area in the summer too. I think there is a pretty nice illustrator community there from what I’m trying to pick up from afar.

      @Liz-Hall Hello and welcome! You're in the right place to learn all things children illustration. 😊 As for where to start, I would take a look at the foundations curriculum first. Being that you're already in art school, you might not need all of it, but some at least will be helpful. I studied art in college, but I still learned a lot from some of the foundations classes because many of them are more geared toward illustration rather than just general art education.

      @Geoffrey-MΓ©gardon Hi! I'm well, thanks. Back doing my design work and fitting in illustration study when I can. I am currently working on an illustration commission - got it a bit sooner than I was anticipating and so it's taking a fair bit of time!

      @Chantal-Goetheer Well...that's very true πŸ€” the newsletter thingy is something I've been thinking about to as well. Gotta plan a strategy to do so, but you are right. Thanks for the encouragement!

      Hello Becks!

      I Just had to compliment you on your super cute bears on the birch tree. They cracked me up (in a good way) and made my day!
