I drive a truck as my day job, but am an illustrator and an art junkie in every fiber of my being :) I am married with a 3 year old daughter, and my family has been so incredibly supportive of my art addiction and passion. I hope one day down the road to be able to do illustration/art full time, and am working to that end. SVS has been such an inspiration and a wonderful guide for me in my arty pursuits! Thank you, Lee, Jake, Will, and all the Forum regulars for your investment of time and energy in the betterment of artists, and art :)
I’ve been offered a job illustrating a digital children’s book, which will be my very first paid illustration job! I’m so glad to have had @Will-Terry youtube channel and SVS to help guide me through the negations and preliminary stages 
I have been given permission to share images in closed groups, so I look forward to getting some WIPs posted here in the coming months!
Okay, I think this ones done...I'm gonna stop fiddling with it, anyway. lol
I hate to submit unfinished work...headed out of town unexpectedly and no time to finish 
Glad to participate tho!! e
Totally in! I have been following wills work for a while now, and was heartbroken for him when I heard...I would love to have a way to send his family love and prayers, and what better way than through art thank you @ShannonBiondi for making this happen
@Buddy-Skelton amazing, man. Love these birds, and your 2019 rendition does a great job of capturing their beautiful lines.
@Heather-Boyd hey! this is a sketch of an idea/rough draft, so the finished product will be in watercolor and will have much clearer/sharper lines. This is for a friend's Lularoe business' facebook page. She works for this direct sales company selling all kinds of clothing, which is what the tree is made of...im thinking when the clothing is all different colors it will be more distinctly obvious as to what it is. Also, she does allot of online "live events" through facebook live, so I have depicted her here, using a laptop.

@Eli I do have a sub and haven’t made it to that one yet, but will make it next on my list! Thank you!
@Lee-White Thank you, Lee! This makes great sense, and very actionable thank you for taking the time!
@burvantill Thanks! yes, I've both followed the misfortunes of Will's Kickstarter and have heard the podcast/videos...I guess my question speaks more to how one can tell when they are simply drawing inspiration from another artists style, or if they are simply ripping them off. Though not perfectly clear, I think the "fan art" issue has more understandable lines due to the fact that the fan artist is using another's character. In my situation, I'm not using anyone's characters, I'm working on actual people from history, but its unclear whether incorporating some of Will's style into my own is frowned upon, or fine...does this make sense? lol
So...I’ve loved the series @Will-Terry does with his drawings of pop icons as kids...and have been inspired to do a similar thing but with historical figures. (See posted image) I’ve done a similarly proportioned characters, tho stylistically quite a bit different...before I continue to do more, tho, I wanted to check that this is accepted as “inspired by” vs “stealing from”...any thoughts??!
