  Hi, I think your drawings show great imagination and love for drawing, so it’s a good thing you found your motivation again! I love the style that shows through, you are on a very good track. And hands are difficult indeed I always have to check mine while drawing one

  @ambiirae I like this! I find getting natural folds and shading in clothing tricky. Fine if I have a reference, but hard when making it up.

  @willicreate Wow! Thank you so much! I haven't used inkscape, but I'm willing to try it. I'll try to keep the shadows in mind for the lighting, but I will say that I was deliberately focusing on the highlights for this one because I hadn't done much of that before. That's no excuse for bad shading, but I felt it was worth pointing out. I've look up Jaegers for reference, but I suppose that getting an actual model where I can play with the angles and lighting would be very beneficial. I'm deeply grateful that you took the time to make that guide. Once again thank you. @TaniaGomesArt I will certainly go back into the fundamentals. I have a couple art books that friends gave me a while back, and I never really studied because they looked boring, but I think I will start by going through them and doing all the exercises that I can find. @Oana I did use the straight line tool for everything that I could in order to work around my inexperience with a tablet, but I will try to avoid that when I can. Thanks for the size reduction tip, and all the other advice. There's no way that I can thank all you people enough for all that you've done for me. Thank you

  @CLCanadyArts that’s a great idea! I usually work on my couch which is probably a really dumb idea‍️I think I’ll try some different positions for working now

  Thank you @K-Flagg . I am glad that adding the butterfly gave the effect that I wanted @Mari1-9Munive This character is starting to have a life of it's own in my head, I think I am going to make some more paintings with him, maybe even a story or a comic. I have a couple of ideas in mind.

  @CLCanadyArts Love it! Reminds of my pencil collection I had in grade school, back when they had a school supplies cart you could buy things from for a few cents.

  @Joe-Koz yeah, the flatness of the colors could really work for you. There are a ton of children's books out there with flat colors. But these styles seem to rely heavily on hitting that color balance and getting the values just right. Since you're working in Photoshop, try playing around with your color palette. Working on separate layers gives you that freedom -- if something doesn't work, it's as simple as deleting that layer. You can always go back to what you had before.

  I feel like this is my best new illustration in a while. Think I will do a bit more with light dappled on the grass, very happy with all the bunnies especially the artist bunnnies.

  Update on the master study. This is kind of proving how, even when we copy other artist’s work, you will draw it differently. My hand naturally drew the elements one size too big haha. I suspect this was done traditionally then finished digitally but I have figured a way to fake the textures on Procreate. It just takes a lot of conscious work The biggest take away was really the shape language. I’m not sure if I want to incorporate it in my style but it’s another tool in my tool box

  @chrisaakins Clouds>Parrallel with the ground>smaller and less detailed closest to the line I've been watching a lot of Angry Mikko. He uses layers however suggested that it is good practice to try one layer. Yea i need to get in there and touch it up. Thank you for that awesome feedback.
