@ArtistErin ill. Heck him out, thanks!

@KevinTreaccar yeah it helped a lot. I tend to gravitate towards low saturation colors but higher saturation always ends up working better.

I always use a strathmore or Canson smooth Bristol that is at least 100LB

@Nyrryl-Cadiz this was just a sketch of a young caveman lol

Figured I'd post an update. Thanks again everyone for the feedback! I think I'm in a good place to start inking and painting 🙂

It’s been a long journey for me and it’s time to do what I love. I put my crayons away so many years ago because I was told I’ll never get a job drawing silly things. 25 years of bad advice I’m ready to open my first brand new box and take a deep breath and smell the colors!alt text

@kaitlinmakes ha, ha I put glasses on to see little Will Terry somewhere. And then i heard crayons and everything was clear 😉

Hi, I'd like some help with a personal illustration!
So aside from the fact that I want the background to be a dark room, I don't have much else planned. Should the background be simple or busy? And should it be structured or more organic? I'd be so grateful if you gave me your opinions on my piece. Thanks so much.

Oh, and I'd love to get some advice about colour, contrast, and depth! I've been struggling with those.
