Intro Task: Writing a welcome post

Hello, everyone!.. since everybody should be working on their first  post in your scoop.it this week.. This is an example you can follow to write your welcome to my Scoop.it post.

A. Read about Carlos. Tell about you.  (This is just a model.. feel free to add more to the different paragraphs)

Hello, I'm Carlos Delgado. I'm 20 years old and I study Graphic Design at Urbe, in Maracaibo, Venezuela. I live in the north-west part of the city.

I love comics, mangas, illustration, Caricatures and specially Videogames. I enjoy mostly RPG games like Final Fantasy and Persona games. I work as a Caricaturist for people around the world in the webpage Fiverr. This is the link of my profile: https://www.fiverr.com/tenjidesign/make-a-high-quality-head-caricature?funnel=2014091519313346919411760

 I don't like smoking or drinking alcohol, I really dislike people who smoke in your face.

 My dreams are living in Canada with my husband and have a print shop and an illustration studio.

I've always liked English, I've studied it since I was 8 years old, the best way to learn english in my opinion is reading on the internet, playing videogames and watching movies in english.

About Graphic Design and Illustration.

 When i'm drawing Caricatures for people around the world, i really feel motivated by the different stories people have to tell about the caricature they want, i could be for a holliday, a gift, a business and many other crazy reasons, it's really fun to know so many different -and good looking and interesting- people.

My best ability is drawing Caricatures, Cartoons, and other Illustration, though i'm also good at designing prints.

 I work alone, though i love the company of my husband and my brothers when i'm working or having breaks from work.

My best source of help is excellent quality data, which would be Good quality photos for Caricatures, good references for Illustrations, and accurate explanation for designs.

A couple months ago i realized that Drawing and Illustrating is my thing, it's my main source of work and i get better as i work so i really want to focus on that, not only because of profit but also because it's what i love to do.

You can visit my scoop.it here... http://www.scoop.it/t/ink-linework

Likes	What do you like doing? What things do you like? Love? Enjoy?
dislikes	What things you don’t like?  things you hate? things you can’t stand?
dreams	What is your dream? What do you want to do with your life?
About English:	What’s your opinion about English? Do you like it? Is it important? What do you do to study English? How do you prefer to study English? What do you want to do in this class?

About Graphic Design	1. What motivates me? 2. What are my best abilities? 3. How do peers influence me? 4. When and with whom am I at my best? 5. Who are my best sources of help? 6. How can I do more of what will best help me to succeed?

Don't forget to add an image showing your work.

Have fun and keep on shining love and peace!

We are going to experiment and play with new ways to learn autonomously. Learning for life. Learning to learn. Learning by doing. We will be watching and listening to videos as well as making videos.
