Hi from Brazil and from a non-artist

Chip Valecek

@alfredbaudisch Welcome to the forums! As like you, I do not use art to make money. It is my hobby and a way to unwind from the day. Working a full time job and raising 4 kids is alot of stress. I love to just put on some music and get lost in the art. The forums is a great place to be, lots of people offering help along the way. Looking forward to watching you grow and hope you reach your goals of a Will Terry style of art.

Thanks @Chip-Valecek for the warming welcome!

get lost in the art

I think in the end that is my ultimate goal as well! (+ having this additional skillset in my life's journey to learn everything I can)

Hi @alfredbaudisch ! SVS is a great place to learn to illustrate, for a career or just self-fulfillment. Recently Jake Parker put in a thread what he thought was the best order to watch the courses in, though (embarassingly...) I don't remember which thread... maybe someone can dig that up?

@Sarah-LuAnn thanks! I created another topic regarding learning route to achieve Will Terry's style and someone pointed me to Parker's list, here it is: http://forum.svslearn.com/topic/3222/i-want-to-learn-to-draw-and-paint-the-will-terry-style-but-subscribed-and-confused-what-to-watch/5

Welcome Alfred! Where do you live in Brazil? My sister lives near Sao Paolo and so I've visited your great country a lot of times, its one of my most favorite countries of all times! I hope you can find your destiny in drawing, I know Its hard, raising children, working and wanting to draw. (I have four Boy's aswel). BUT; give yourself the time and space to grow as an artist. stretch towards it by working hard on your skills. Its rewarding, and frustrating. But working trough this frustration will help you grow lots! I am sure you won't regret it! Good luck on this journey! 0_1495795454309_leontine Brazil.jpg

Thanks! I'm from São Paulo as well! To be honest in all those years trying to learn art I've never joined a community, always by my own. Now, just joined SVS and loving here, specially the welcoming feeling. I feel that will help a lot. Let's see where this goes.

By the way, do you come to Brazil often? And is your sister Brazilian or just lives here?

PS 1: I don't have kids

PS 2: Loved this piece of yours

@alfredbaudisch My sister married a Brazilian! hope you have fun here this is the most friendly comm. for art Ive found so far.
People always willing to help. Thanks for the great compliment. I am working on that book right now. It is a Christmas tale from Tolstoy. Have a Happy Drawing day!
