Hi Pieter! Your work is really appealing. Welcome!

Welcome, Peter!! I love your characters so much! You have great shapes and colors, too. Looking forward to seeing more of your work here! ️

Heather Boyd

@PieterVanDerBeek hey and welcome. I really think you have a nice start to getting into storytelling illustration. Your characters are adorably soft and round friendly shapes and you have an already nice understanding of colour I think. Even if you thought of getting into children's graphic style books. My niece has one that is about a seal unicorn -I think the brush work looks like watercolour I don't see why yours wouldn't fit nicely into it. If you have time please contribute to our svs month contest! See you around.

@TessaW @aprilshin – Thanks for the kind words! :-]

@Heather-Boyd – Thanks! Love to meet a seal unicorn – where would I find this book?

Hello Pieter! I'm new here too. I have some similar goals as you. So much to sit down and learn for illustration! I'm excited to see your progress and I hope you can start tackling those goals of yours

I love the art you have here! My favorite is the third one from the left with the orange creature in the spaceship. So cute!

@Jacy13 – Thanks! Good luck on your journey here. :-]

@PieterVanDerBeek welcome to the forums!

@Neha-Rawat – Thanks! :-]

@Chip-Valecek – I reckon an OG would know this: I'm about to start with 'Introduction to Prop Design' – is there a way or place here to connect with people that do the same course, kinda like simultaneously, and compare homepage, encourage, give feedback, etc. maybe form sort of a class?

Heather Boyd

@PieterVanDerBeek sorry I am pretty sure I meant a narwhal lols. It's called Narwhal Unicorn of the Sea (A Narwhal and A Jelly Book) by Ben Clanton. When I googled this I found another illustrator I like.

@PieterVanDerBeek There has been a few times when a group of forum members work together at a class and post their work together. But that is all setup by one of the forum members. @Braden-Hallett has done it in the past.
