Graphic Novel Artist of Nature and People

Hello, I wrote and drew a graphic novel called Rough Waters, and want to improve my drawing skills before going on to another book.

I like nature, and want to depict the wilderness in interesting ways to draw people into stories and to appreciate the animals and plants we have left in remote areas.

While teaching, I lived on the west coast of Canada and other parts of BC. Many places are so beautiful I want to pass that on to others.

The Drawing Academy looks like an excellent way to learn drawing skills when a person is far from a college, and does not have resources to move somewhere else.

I cannot afford the course. If you vote for me, you will be helping a graphic artist become better so that she can draw skillfully and sell her work to anyone interested around the world through Amazon.

For the future, I want to write and illustrate working as an entomologist in the Yukon. I have my notes from one summer up north.

Another book which is partly planned is about working with native children in British Columbia, Canada.
