@nyrrylcadiz @NessIllustration You're both so right, this seems to be one of my problems at the moment. I get so caught up with my illustrations and get anxious, that I overwork them and want them to be 100% realistic, when, like you say, they don't need to be!
Haha @NessIllustration I have the same problem with my boyfriend too, he doesn't realise that illustration can be whatever the creator wants and comments on how "this doesn't look real" etc, so I blame him! hehe! I'm going to try your approach of getting him to back off!
I will have a play around tonight with it, thank you both so much
