      Thank you everyone for your advice!

      This had given me good food for thought, and I will get back to the author with some suggestions.

      I can confirm as a developer that we hate IE or what is now called edge. I am not surprised it does not work. I have many applications that will not work with IE, a lot of the code libraries out there do not work with IE. I wish Microsoft would just let it die already.

      Are you using microsoft edge?

      Re: How do I import pictures to the forum?
      I read in the forum somewhere, that if you are using microsoft edge that it doesn't work. You could try using Chrome to open SVS and then enter the forum. Click on the thread titled January Fearless. It is the one that has the instructions and below it has the artwork of others who have entered the contest. Click on the blue reply button, click on the upload image and it and hopefully it will work from there.

      @carriecopa Thanks. I hadn't watched this one and it sounds like what I was looking for.

      @smceccarelli We do a lot of different work, some with animation and some live action. Budget doesn't necessarily seem to be an obstacle. But I'll check out those books! Thanks!

      @durribie wow! That’s awesome. I’m a little isolated up here too. We live in a fishing village in Alaska. There aren’t any cons here at all. ☺️

      I wouldn't think so? Buzz Lightyear carries and shoots a sci-fi gun without any issues, like you mention. It's probably fine as long as it doesn't resemble a real ak-47 or some such 😄

      @miriam said in Using SVS instead of Art School:

      @kat
      Now I just have to make myself do it!

      Me too! I was watching a basic drawing video, and stopped until I practiced the one specific thing being taught 50 times. It took me all week, literally, but I did it. Feeling like it’s something I actually learned now, instead of just something I saw. Patience....harder than drawing!

      The iPad Pro is the only one that supports the Apple Pencil. You can use Procreate with a regular stylus, but the Apple Pencil is pressure sensitive and without that feature it’s just not the same.

      My only advice is be careful when you buy a big 27"or 32" display you can end up with quite a sore arm and shoulder if you are not used to drawing big-it is that stretch over to the Photoshop toolbar that does it.Also consider one of the cheaper brands XPS, Yinova,huion they really are very good.Make sure your graphics card supports 2 monitors( if that is your setup) I killed my Graphics card and computer a few months ago I suspect it was never meant to run 2 monitors.Clip paint studio is cheaper and just as good as Photoshop.

      There is the Illustrating Childrens Books video that kind of touches on this maybe? But having live critiques of dummy books would be amazing

      Hi!

      just quick question. Can I share the composition checklist with another community on discord? 🙂 It can be very helpful for them 🙂
