Hello Klo, thank you so much for the watch! Your art's lovely so it's quite an honor-- you've got a really good style going with your Whole World is Watching comic! :heart:

Oh man thank you! Your art has such an interesting feel to it, I looked a bit through your gallery and loved how it appeared to be both Traditional and Digital at once? The color schemes you use are just so soft and atmospheric and unique I couldn't pass it up. [Also dragons/dragon-like creatures/aliens and mechanical parts? A plus!]

Ooohh my gosh, thank you so much! I'm crying-- ;o; :hug: Art's always been hard for me, esp in recent years, so your words are super encouraging. I'm hoping to someday get better at conveying characters and their stories, on top of the atmospheres that come natural to me. What are some of your artistic goals?

Keep up with your art, I really love the detail you put into everything. I know life is hard though, so I don't want to put any pressure on you!! But I'll definitely keep watching. I wish you luck with your improvements; in reference back to my comic, it's amazing to see how far I've come in just four years - any little bit of improvement is something to be celebrated and commended. I hope you reach your goals!
As for me, a lot of it has to do still with anatomy and getting a certain feel down? I am rather obsessed with the idea of doing digital art in such a way that it looks [at least in lineart] like it was drawn traditionally.

Aww gosh, thank you again!! ;w;/ May you and I both have lots of luck improving and meeting our art goals, especially those that always seem to get away from us. Digital art's been giving me trouble too, especially lineart; I use traditional lines with digital coloring, but there's something special about traditional-feeling digital lines. If you ever find a brush set or technique that works for you, please drop me a line because I'd love to learn too. You can do it, buddy!!

Mostly my success so far has been with just experimenting with different types of lineart and using various textures of paper to try and mimic the feel, to various degrees of success. I will keep trying, though, and I hope you do as well!
