@demotlj Thanks, I'm having fun learning so much about them. I also discovered that they can mimic humans, meaning they can speak, among other things.

@Heather-Boyd Not yet, but a great suggestion. I'm finishing up the composition one. So I'll add that to my next one. I did watch the youtube one though and the podcast.

Other than that, my main goal is to build a portfolio for children's books publications, and arts licensing. Most of my influences are from a mix of fine artists, impressionists, and illustrators. I've always been drawn to diffused light and yellow and blues, and sort of limy greens.

My next step is to choose one of my Artists, and start to really study their style.

My top 20 Artists are:

1. Norman Rockwell
2. Kadir Nelson
3. Henri Matisse
4. Edgar Dega
5. Maxfield Parrish
6. David Wiesner
7. Kelly Murphy
8. Shel Silverstin
9. Scott Wakefield
10. Charles Santoso
11. Rockwell Kent
12. Barrington Watson
13. Brenda Joysmith
14. Marla Frazee
15. Mary Blair
16. Kevin Keele
17. Mark Burkhardt
18. Chris Van Allsburg
19. Howard Pyle
20. Sally Wern Comport

This time I made a list of my favorite Artists and Illustrators and grabbed images from that list. This worked better. Plus a few images are from the same Illustrator.

@Heather-Boyd

I'm going to do an Illustration for The Seven Ravens. I'm not sure what scene yet, but learning about the ravens is helping me to build characters and background for them.

Some Slowvember Notes for Raven Life, Habitat, Behavior, etc.

@NessIllustration You're probably right... Thanks

Hi, I'm designing some holiday cards, but I want to go through a drop shipper. I found one called Goteen, but since they're fairly new I think. I want to know what their print quality is for cards. I saw a video review. The quality looked pretty good on t-shirts and canvas. However, I'm still curious? Or do you know another great drop-shipper that aligns with Etsy besides printful.

Gratitude....

@NessIllustration Got it. Thanks.

@chrisaakins Congrats!
