Hello from sunny Oregon

[Erick Reilly]

How do you do, SVS community? I'm Erick and I draw nerdy things. I have a background in graphic design and I've recently gotten a certificate in UX Design from Google. I've been doing all of this to find a better day job than the one I currently have, but the truth is I've been wanting to be a pro illustrator for some time. I've mostly had many false starts and dead ends. I'm hoping that in studying the craft at SVS, I can get good, have more success in my creative endeavors, and meet and network with some fellow artists.

These days I draw in the Procreate Pocket app on my iPhone. Here's a few works I'm proud of:

@Erick-Reilly I love the mermaid and the fish eating tacos. Also is the space one some kind of fan art? It almost reminds me of Star Wars because of her saber.

Welcome Erick! I’m currently completing the Google UX Design course. Once I finish that, I’m planning on doing an SVS deep dive

@MerryMary The space girl is not a piece of fan art, though I do love Star Wars, so I won’t deny the influence is there. It was a ton of fun to draw! Thank you for the compliments.
