      Hey everyone, I'm Leilani, an illustrator from the UK currently living and working in Dubai, UAE.

      I've been freelancing since I graduated 10 years ago, but sporadically - the majority of my time is dedicated to my day job in Graphic Design, which I do enjoy... However, my goal for the next 5 years is to build up my illustration clients so I can freelance full time.

      This forum seems really friendly and full of a variety of talent keen on giving useful critiques and support. I hope it's fine that I'm not an SVS student, I would love to stick around the forums 🙂

      Here's a sample of my work, and you're very welcome to visit my portfolio website www.tao.cx (the more polished stuff) or follow me on instagram @instaleilani (doodles, sketches, random photos!)

      Looking forward to getting to know you all via the forum posts!

          @lei welcome to the forums! There are plenty of users on the forums that are not students. But becoming a subscriber is so very worth it. So much great content.

              @TessaW @Chip-Valecek @C-Davies Thanks guys for the welcome!

              Chip - Yes, the content does seem pretty awesome. I'm loving the 3 point perspective podcast (that's how I found about the forum!) so who knows, in future I may end up signing up to something 🙂

              C.Davies - Ah wow, where and when did you live here? Yes, it's damn hot right now, Summer has started! But I can't complain too much, with friends and family based here it's a great place.

                  @c-davies Oooh, no worries! I'd love to visit Iran, I hear that it is beautiful. And yup - it's about that temperature in the daytime lately 😃
