@sigross thanks so much! That Pantone color is amazing! I was pumped when I saw it was the color of the year. I will totally check out feathr. Sounds like a great group. Thanks for the advice.

@whitney-simms Some artists that seem up your alley are Kendyll Hillegas and Minnie Small. Kendyll does colored pencil food illustration, Minnie does various subjects in watercolor, such as flowers or houses and so on. A good amount of art classes on Skillshare do this kind of pattern/aesthetic/loose watercolor style so it's worth a look!
Maybe you're more inclined to graphic design illustration than story illustration. Package design, typography, patterning...seems youd like it!

@rinovarka I love Minnie Small. I checked out Kendyll Hillegas's work too! Thanks for the heads up. I've been thinking about venturing over to skill share. Quite few artists I follow have classes there. Maybe I can get a few short answers there about repeating patterns.

@Whitney-Simms I really enjoy looking at your work. Your style and the color palette is soothing. One of the many things that I enjoy about SVS is that we all have different styles and passions and we all have one important ingredient in common...Creativity!

Scanned and printed! It’s so much fun to think of the adventures these card will have traveling to and from New Zealand. My sister in law is a big supporter of my work. One of those family members that asks for big projects, but also respects your time enough to pay you. She’s going to be so surprised by all these. It’s great to give back to one of your most favorite people. She shares my love of notecards, so I know she will be excited for a custom collection. You know that feeling when you give it all you got? I’m sure there are people that can do better work, but I gave it all I got. This project wasn’t phoned in.
Happy painting guys! Thanks so much for all your words of encouragement!

Great prints! As long as you’re doing your art because you really like it, then go for it

@rinovarka his lettering is insane! And such verities in the styles. Really nice!@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen thank you. I will stay!
@nyrrylcadiz it is what I gravitate towards. I do love to make this stuff. It’s so rewarding to see the paintings have a life beyond the painting itself.

@Whitney-Simms I think your work is very lovely and I could totally see it gracing calendars and cards and such. Go with your passion. It looks very professional. I understand your angst though. I don't think I am cut out to be a children's illustrator either but I sure do love learning all that I can from everyone and applying it to my artwork.
