WOW..... YOUR WORK IS SO AMAZING! I love your use of colors. They are so vibrant. Hands down, you are without a doubt, a professional illustrator. It's really great to have you here with us. I look forward viewing your posts in the future.

Hi Geneva!

It's lovely to have you here! I've been following you outside on social media, so its such a great thing to find you in a space where you're also sharpening your craft.

Excited to have you!

Welcome @gdbee! As others have said, gorgeous colours in your work! Look forward to seeing more of it!

Welcome! I love your colors and shapes! Storytelling is solid too. It's awesome that you're still learning and growing! SVS has been pure gold for me too - I've been stagnant in my abilities for awhile and I'm ready to level up! Your Instagram feed is an inspiration to me. Honored to have you in the community.

[gdbee]

Wow haven't checked my own thread in a while, sorry! But thank you all and it's been great!

Hallo @gdbee and welcome! Your work is stunning, especially your use of color!
I was wondering if you would be willing to share more details of your story - what happened that made you „fail spectacularly“. And also your experience on successful projects if you are willing to share!
