My favorites are the two rubber ducks, especially with the one facing towards you. The only thing I noticed is that it might be nice not to make your lines so thick. It makes them look more realistic if they aren't so bold and dark. Overall you are a great artist and are just going to get better and better!

Thank you so much!
I can see what you mean and it didn't come to mind before. I know my Fine Art teachers would say "You see this flower picture? It doesn't have outlines! Real things don't have outlines! We don't want to see outlines!" But it would only register when painting. I like outlines, but that's probably a habit I'll have to break if I want to draw more realistic things, yes?

I'm sure with a little bit of practice, you'll be outstanding! I have to say once again that I think your shading is fantastic. I'm alright with the lines, but I have a hard time really getting the shading down, but you've already got it! Also- I cant help but comment on how I LOVE your koi fish in your signature. O.O Kois are so beautiful.. I can only find the purple kind. xD

Thank you! Again! *Not sure what else to say*
Someone gave me a couple silver koi and then I suddenly got a bunch out of the pond. You can have one.

O.O Really!? I didn't mean to ask you for one, I was just pointing it out, but.. heh, thanks! Accidentally canceled the trade. /:

I know. But I don't need so many and you haven't gotten one, so you can have one.

Thank you soo much! I didn't mean to spam up your thread, so sorry!

It's been a while. I have so many art things I need/want to do.

I just finished this though:



Doing regular digital art with a mouse is rather hard.

I might make it smaller. Plus I think I need to clean up the colors that got outside the outlines (I didn't actually notice it until I uploaded it) and figure out how to get the background transparent. Everything I've tried with the background has either done nothing at all or made it look weird. I also tried to color the lines instead of leaving them black, but it looked strange because there were still some black specks left over. I might try again with that though.

Dawwwwww xD
