Anonymous asked: I just wanted to let you know I love your art. Your lines are so clean, and you do so well with realistic proportions. I like your painting style too, but I think I like your black and white linework the best!

hurrrr i keep thinking oh god have you mistaken me for someone else but i should really stop beating myself up and selling myself short. skjdlks thank you. i used to suck at keeping clean lines until i discovered illustrator. after spending a few months on illustrator, i went back to photoshop, and i guess that helped in the line department (also learning about dpi and how a simple resize can make your lines look sharp, wow!). 

i’ve certainly missed the line work i could accomplish in illustrator and am trying to think of how i can combine that with coloring in photoshop in the future. i worry bouncing between the two programs will make my style look inconsistent, but i’m a sucker for constant experimenting.

i’m trying to get better at painting. a lot of referencing works wonders though i also don’t want to make it my crutch. crossing my fingers that this year i improve.

/tl;dr thank you ;-;
