Helloo! Welcome and good tidings!

@Casual-T Welcome! I'm still a bit of a newbie myself. Yours is a good enough reason as any to learn illustration. And tea is my favourite drink

@Casual-T welcome to the forum!

And a chip-cheerio to you to! I'm also a writer, learning to draw. Your music - story connection is a wonderful idea. Can't wait to hear what you do. Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

@Lisa-Pickard... Tea is indeed a dangerously wonderful concoction. My wife always says she can never get enough tea... (Although she might be spelling it a wee bit different!)

@Kim-Hunter... I'm also quite interested in seeing how all this will turn out. We have a few songs already recorded. There's one about penguins who get cold playing in the snow, one about a dog who loves eggs, as well as a couple of other doozies... Now all that needs to happen is for me to learn how to pose my amazing stick figures in a dynamic fashion, add anatomy, emotion, color, lighting, and do it all while paying close attention to that old bane of my existence—PERSPECTIVE... Easy-breezy!

Me too! Perspective is my albatross! Some days it looks great and on others it looks like the world is drunk. If there's something off in my drawings, it can usually be pinned on perspective. I'll just keep practicing until I get it right. Happy sketching!

@Casual-T Hello and welcome!! That was such a fun introduction to read, I bet you could write a fun children's book too!️

Casual-T

@carlianne Thanks so much for your very nice welcome message! I'm glad you enjoyed my little introductory ditty. Just as much as you enjoyed reading that, did I enjoy looking at the incredible illustrations on your website. Looking at them is simultaneously inspiring and intimidating; a very interesting mix of emotional responses—I shall name this INSPIRINTIMIDATION!!
