Hello from Phoenix

[Chip Valecek]

@Aaron_T welcome to the forums. There are a handful of web designers on the forums working toward an illustrator career. I am a web designer/developer for the past 18+years which supports my family and in the evening enjoy to draw/paint. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Welcome Aaron! I was in the same place as you a year ago. SVS has helped me to grow so much and this community is very supportive. I'm still working my design job, slowly working up to becoming a full-time illustrator.

[Aaron_T]

Thanks all! Can't wait to get into the lessons!

Hi Aaron, I think you'll really like the classes.

[Aaron_T]

NOOB question here...is the SVS Forum tied in any way to your SVS Learn coursework? Or is it a separate account/login and everything? Getting all signed up and just realized it won't accept my forum credentials to allow me to log in.

[StudioLooong]

@Aaron_T they are different, You will have to create a separate login for SVSLearn

[Aaron_T]

@StudioLooong Nice..thank you Taylor. Just didn't want to start out having two logins if it was unnecessary.

Hi, Aaron! Welcome to the forum
Hearing that someone has decided to take art as a serious career path makes me happy.
I am not a professional by any means, but I've decided to study art for real almost two years ago and it has been a wonderful, life changing experience that has made me a better person overall!
Hope you're gonna have an awesome experience

[Aaron_T]

@burvantill Ha ha! Thanks...you did a deep dive to find that one!

Welcome Aaron, sounds like you already know a little about freelance so that's a headstart
