@johanna-kim I really like your interpretation of the Octopus Challenge.
You have really created a lot of context, there is a great story taking place in the illustrations in the background. I would love to see this as a book.

@tessaw Hello Tessa, thank you. Creative Composition, that sounds like a fantastic class. What was the most important thing you learned in that class?

@chip-valecek Thank you for your reply Chip. Can you narrow down a couple of your favorite classes?

Hello SVS,

I have been a fan of Will Terry's for quite some time now, at least a few years.
I follow Will's Youtube channel, Instagram feed and about a year ago I discovered SVS.
I am finally joining in on the forum.
I have not yet taken any classes but I have plan's to do so in the relatively near future.

I am an illustrator and painter from Vancouver B.C. Canada.

In 2012 I worked with an author who was creating an Intentional Day Planner for adults, with an emphasis on a childlike illustration to it featuring my signature faerie illustrations.
This was my first illustrated project for an author and needless to say I am hooked but it was not a project aimed at children.

I have always wanted to author and illustrate for children and I am working on that goal, always working to improve my portfolio and expand my social network to include artists who are working as illustrators and those who are working towards similar goals.

I would love to hear from everyone about your unique perspective of the world of illustration.
Have you illustrated for children? Are you planning to illustrate for children and you are working on your portfolio as I am?
What is the most important information that you have learned as an illustrator?
And if you have taken SVS classes which are your favorite classes?

I hope to meet all of you and join in the discussions in what appears to be a very welcoming and supportive community.

I think this is the best one out of this particular style of art that I created.
I am just sharing one image, is the size ok?
