Here is my Mermaid,I really enjoyed painting her and I love all the entries.A digital painting with Clip studio paint.

As a very recent Inatagram user I found myself baffled by why people kept unfollowing me ,I felt I had done something personally wrong or the art was so bad I had chased them away (this still might be the case) I am glad to read all your comments and now realise they want me to follow them and then drop me when I do follow them back it all makes sense now.This social media is a complicated business

Autodesk sketch book is now free for the Pro version in case anyone does not know,I already subscribe so great news,It is a great painting software and there are lovely free brushes available www.sketchbook.com/blog/sketchbook-everybody/

So here is my treehouse I left this way to late and it is not finished ,but I think the general idea is there I will work more at a later date. Everyone's paintings are awesome.

@will-m I dont know if you find out tell me,looked at your instagram and followed you .Jake Parker has a video on here How to get your first 10,000 followers there is a lot of good information on it. I think your instagram already looks good so I dont know what else you can do.

I am going to try and do more Home baking and lose weight (I just realised these two goals do not really go together hehe) On the artside I would to try and build up a watercolour or gouache portfolio as I am starting to lose interest in digtial painting.Actually any type of portfolio would be an improvement.

@patricia-alvarez Welcome Patricia always nice to meet new people ,dont be nervous about posting your work I think we all feel like that sometimes.I like your mushroom village you should enter it if you get finished ,I hardly ever get mine finished for the challenges but it is still good practice.

Canon Pixma A3 ix 6550 takes this paper,with no problem

@smceccarelli Your posts always make such interesting reading,wonderful information here.I recently joined instagram and love it ,a very friendly platform. Behance is very intimidating and I am not good enough yet-I am curious what are the unspoken rules you mention.I recently read an article saying Facebook was the best place for new artists ( I will get the link later for you).

I like the colour it is quite subtle anyway so the colour does not distract from your inking.it is a lovely piece of art

@cristen Wonderful art!!

@Lydia-M No it is not just you I have given up PS because of lag on the brushes and also they dont support windows 8 anymore . No problems with Clip studio paint

@JerrySketchyArt I use CSP I am going to try those Frenden brushes now Thanks for the recommendation

@theprairiefox That is really exciting Congrats

@Laurasketches I love it ,very lively and fun to look at

@Jenna-Jenks Thanks Jenna I think every artist can do different styles but support each other and be part of the community Good luck.

@Jenna-Jenks I am not a childrens illustrator either, but I have learned a lot here. I really love your work!

@nadyart Yes definitely!! your work is beautiful

@Kevin-Longueil I did not know this thanks for that information
