Welcome! I just have to say I keep looking at your swan illustration, I really like it 
I really enjoy the illustrations that you do. Sure, there is some room for improvement ( for all of us 
) but it has a GREAT vibe to it, especially the first and the last one. Awesome work! Lookin forward for more
My name is Katherine and I'm based out of Waco, TX.
I currently work as a freelance illustrator, but my work is very decorative. I'm slowly learning the art of storytelling and compositions, and I'd love to work in the publishing industry doing book covers and editorial illustration!
This is what my older work looks like:
And these are some pieces I've done for a publishing portfolio:

I feel totally new to creating thumbnails, leading the viewer's eye, anatomy, creating a narrative.. all that stuff that's so important to the publishing industry! I still really like my older decorative work, but I'm ready to push myself and learn how to be a more versatile artist!
I've listened to the podcast for a while and I'm excited to get more involved in the forums. Looking forward to meeting y'all!
