@davidhohn Thanks so much for that demo! It really gave me a good starting place for using PS for illustrations.

@mikorad I too want to be more active on the forum - have been lurking for awhile. Thanks for commenting! To be fair I have a BFA in Fine Art. My degree was really one of how to talk about art and include ones work in the discourse of contemporary art and the important artists of the past. It was not what I wanted to study, but I didn't understand the difference between art and illustration when I went to school. My technical knowledge of drawing is embarrassingly spotty. Gaps in my knowledge like giant moon craters. I wish I had found SVSlearn YEARS ago!!

@CGotthardt Hi! I made a watercolor texture I took a photo of to use as the shading/texture so I am glad that reads! Also yeah ... who lives here ... I wish I did!
