Hi. Just wondering how you go about removing images that have been posted on this site. I created a post with some illustrations before Christmas about a book they were going in. When I realised, by searching for the book on Google, that all the images were available for anyone to see I removed the post thinking it would remove the images attached to it too - but I see that's not the case. Maybe I was naive by assuming anything posted on here was just for our viewing. Any help in removing them would be appreciated thanks.

@fpichel Thank you for your reply - that's been very helpful as I really didn't know where to start with the marketing side of it

Hi Everyone, I have completed 'how to draw everything' and now just finished the basic perspective class. Perspective has never been my forte - I didn't really take an interest in it at college but now I wish I had as I realise how important it is not only for illustration but for my art in general. That's why I'm pushing on and methodically going through the classes step by step instead of galloping ahead to level 2. I struggled with deciding where to start and what view I was after but I think I got there in the end. So here's my final project, drawn with pencil and paper on a lap tray - not the easiest way trying to line up three rulers to a vanishing point!! Any thoughts welcome thanks.

@Lisa-Pickard you’re welcome!

These are awesome - I love the sleigh!!! I love making props! I actually fantasize frequently about becoming a puppet maker for stop motion. Definitely keep it up! It is such a benefit to understand things in the 3D space (also how fun is it to play with them?)

@Lisa-Pickard I think these are much improved! Great job. I think all of them work well and I'd just choose your fav. I'd just be cautious and make sure your teddy bear doesn't steal the show. Also, in #2, I think the mom's pose could be played with a bit. It's fun as is, but might work better if her body is facing toward the boy, rather than outward. Again, great job!
