@Yandere: Your squishies are amazing!! I don't have that much money though atm. Maybe add a wishlist of items and I can see what I have? Or we could do an art trade?

@Apollo Im Burning: Ah the piece is about A3 size. I use A3 for couples and A4 for individuals.

I drew and colored as long as I could remember. My older sister was always doing it so my little sister and I would copy her. My mom loved making up stories with us and encouraged us to illustrate our stories. She would hang them all over the wall until the scotch tape she used would lose its hold and fall off. Then she would bind them and keep them in a huge box.
When I started taking it seriously and got a teacher I was about 16. He taught me the basics of charcoal, oil, pastels, and watercolors. I mostly practiced painting my family and pets at first, then moved on to teaching myself digital photo manipulation for fun. I mixed those two and tada we have digital art!



@KreitzeN: Wow that collection is impressive!

@Apollo Im Burning: Thanks man. I take about a week for a colored couple. Maybe longer? Sometimes it works out on the first try. Sometimes I trash a couple of pieces of paper before it works out. :vanora_smile: No ctrl z so gotta start over from scratch if I accidentally get a wet spot or sneeze on the paper.

@Priestess of Pie: I started doing portraits in charcoal so chalk pastels were more comfortable to learn next. Haha yeah they are so so messy! But all paints and stuff are pretty much just as messy. All the fun things..
I have never tried oil pastels with the brush technique though. Maybe one day when I have time I will give it a shot.

Yeah..I haven't figured out how to light the picture right..flash is just bad, sunlight is too strong..warm light messes with the colors..indoor sunlight with a sheer curtain so far has been the best...

@Apollo Im Burning: I usually dont take pictures of my traditional work cos the camera somehow doesn't capture it properly. The colors kinda look really washed out and sometimes makes it look flat. I apply the pastel to the piece using stiff brushes for more control.
