So excited to share this journey with you all!

Hey there! I’m Carrie. I am just starting out with SVS and so far, I have really enjoyed the exercises. I have been drawing since I was a kid, but I have never been able to have enough confidence to pursue anything professionally. Now at 38, I’m ready for the challenge and to start this journey. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I know it will be worth it in the end.
Here is my attempt to the drawing exercise for contour line drawing.

Welcome Carrie! I've been teaching with SVS for more than a year now, but have only been particiapting on these boards for a short time (still feeling my way around). It's splendid to see the first exercises and it will be fun to watch your progress! Enjoy!

I just started too, 16 days or so ago. I have progressed about half the way through the How To Draw Everything and seen an improvement. I am 28 and have sincere intention to make a life for myself in illustration. Work hard, have patience.
