Hello, I'm Kyle Petchock and welcome to my Skillshare channel!  I'm a freelance artist who specializes in digital illustration / comic art, and I started this freelance journey just over three years ago. However, this didn't happen overnight.  Breaking into the art world is no easy feat.  It requires years of practice, patience, and most importantly, Perseverance to push through challenges.  Always believe in yourself, because if you do, you'll take the inspired action required to move you one step closer toward your goal, even if they're baby steps (yes, those count too). 

My personal mantra is 'Keep Persevering,' which also stands for my initials (KP).  More importantly, I use this motto to let aspiring artists know that even a normal guy who spent years battling anxiety behind closed doors and having no formal art school education in comic illustration, can make it. There were plenty of external obstacles in my way early on in my art journey, but the most challenging struggle was wrestling with my own negative internal thoughts that sabotaged me from really pursuing my dream as a comic artist much earlier in life.  So this has a special meaning behind it, in that if you keep going and pursue your dream with everything you have, in the face of rejection, disappointments, and setbacks, eventually you'll be rewarded.  That's when you prove to life just how bad you want it, and in doing so you pass the test.

A professional artist who has motivated me greatly is Australian artist Patrick Brown, whom I want to thank for inspiring me enough to not give up on my passion, as well as the support of my family, friends, and fiancé.  So, welcome, and let's Keep Persevering!
