HEY WOW I SLEPT WAY TOO MUCH LAST NIGHT..... and then also took a nap today....
also I felt that I was looking at something important on my laptop right before falling asleep and I kept trying to wake up to go look at it, but then I kept falling back asleep like 10 times... but I think 80% of that was entirely a dream I'm not sure anymore ADLFKFJ there was nothing on my laptop tho, disappointment

and I'm glad you like it kiwi and thanks pie

@Moodybats: oh yeah I think those would be fun to study! hair is always hard (at least for me ALFKJD) but I think it's also a lot of fun to explore different ways of coloring it
oh nice! what kinda piece were you thinking of painting? like portrait, landscape?

OOF YEAH there are so many horror stories?? I bet a lot of artists/clients have good experiences but man... sometimes one bad experience is enough to put you off for a long time....

sure thing Kent!

@Xaria: ahh thank you you're too kind

@Moodybats: that's a good idea. the internet is such a great resource I love that nowadays there's a lot of youtube artists, it's really helpful to see the process in real-time

hmm are you thinking of a more realistic portrait or more stylized?

ADFLKJ yeah that's another common concern... I think it's important to build confidence in your work. I'm always afraid of disappointing people too, even if it's just a freebie...

@Priestess of Pie: FROG BLESS YOU

@hachi: I just changed my avi, but I saved my old avi if you prefer to draw that one. I’m really not picky. xD

Boop Boop Boop My Old Avi ↓

Also, HOT DAMN the coloring on Priestess of Pie’s finished freebie is so beautiful. I’m drawn to the hair shine the most. ToT

YA'LL NOT TELLING ME WHAT YOU WANT DRAWN...... I'm just gonna assume avatar, don't @ me when it's too late

@Moodybats: yeah! I remember when I first started by using tutorials on deviantart. it's really nice when artists give back to the community like that, although yeah not everyone's an expert but that's fine too. we've all got lots to learn
for digital I learned a lot by watching my roommate draw
do you have any favorite youtube artists?

and yeah those are good goals to work towards! hopefully by then you'll be ready for commissions

@Hachi: Yeah. Though i do think trying things yourself really helps.
A lot of times i hold back and keep watching videos until I really feel sure
i can do it on my own.

Yes. Her name is Sara Tepes[i believe it's spelt].
She really inspired me from her last piece she did in her latest video so it kinda gave me inspiration
that i wanted to paint portraits.

Hopefully so. I am definitely going to be making a will and won't draw list for sure.
Just so people know what I can and can't draw.
