Thank you everyone for your wonderful reply's i really appreciate it!

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen I just about to send Lee a msg when i saw Will(Terry) replied to this thread. Theres hoping that they do decide to do reviews as apart of their services 🙂

@beckporter Many thanks, that's definitely worth a look!

@Kelanhordos Schoolisum is another one of those great art communities, but sadly $1000 is not something i can realistically afford any time soon 😕

@Will-Terry , I think you are 100% right, it is important. And for many reasons, but for many of us, we just want to know where we currently are (artistically) and where we need to improve most, especially if (Like me) you have very little money to spend on classes/subscriptions. Also (as a stay at home mum) i have very little time at the moment, so knowing where best to focus my energy is important to me right now.

My current plan of action is to build a portfolio (Since re watching your youtube vid on what to put in one I've culled pretty much everything! not because everything in it was necessarily 'bad' but because next to none of it was useful for a portfolio...if that makes sense?) Get a good review on my current skills and where i can improve. I'm also hoping to have saved up any spare pennies to afford a years subscription to SVS so i can start/continue to better myself as/after i work on my portfolio.

@rcartwright Another great one to check out thank you!

Thanks again everyone i really appreciate it!
