@EllaTheKawaiiNeko again, good luck finding that book. You look around the TV, sofa, behind doors, under cabinets.

@OwlHighway1Revisited I'm trying to find it as hard as I can.
I either threw it away like the idiot I am or it's burried in a box that I forgot about.
Also, listen to this song or I'm never listening to Fireflies again

@Professor_Plumber Thank you, good sir
As I said, y'all will meet, just not now

@Zuljaras how are you improving so quickly its scary

@Princess_Lilly Thank you! Saying that I am making progress is satisfying
@Professor_Plumber Thank you!

@Zuljaras do you use the lift up technique for clouds? Or do you leave white spaces preemptively?

@Eel Both because I use really crappy 180g/m paper
I really need to buy the good stuff that is 300g/m paper either 25% cotton or 100% cotton. It really would make a difference!

@Zuljaras ooh 100% would be so nice. I have the basic stuff too.

Unfortunately I haven’t quite mastered the technique of making natural looking clouds yet. Yours look great!

So, I just curious.
Last time I posted my hand drawings here and nobody even replied me.
But, when other user posted the same thing, they got replied with some compliments.
Why I got ignored ?
Are my hand drawings sucks just because not about Nintendo stuffs?

@Anti-Matter How many times do we have to explain this to you?

What was that mean?

@Anti-Matter your art is quite good as well, however you have a very strictly defined style and subject of preference… So I just don’t know what to say without being repetitive. Do know that I think you’re pretty good at it though.

I’m currently into watercolor, so I can relate to Zuljara’s progress and comment on it much more naturally.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Oh, before I was just referencing The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, you said something about the meaning of life so...

@TeaCatherine Oh yeah, I forgot the answer to the Universe was 42.whatever

@Eel
Well, I have my own signature Chibi looking design as you can see from current avatar so I will not change to make sure peoples can recognize my drawing signature.
About the things I drawn, mostly I drawn for my Art lesson grade 1 - 3 so the drawings or my paper craft are pretty basic since my design have to be designed easy enough for my students to follow. I don't draw something that I considered inappropriate and offending since I'm working in school and dealing with kids so my drawings design have to be appropriate for kids.
My current avatar with some titles on the cover was inspired from CD Album style of Rhythm games and since I like Boxing stuffs, I made a lot of cute Boxers added with titles talking about Boxing. I played with some words about Boxing to make interesting idea about Boxing drawings. I got the words ideas from Super Eurobeat songs by Avex Trax licensing where the songs were mostly talking about racing, passion of love, broken heart, etc so it gave me ideas to put some Boxing related words for my Chibi Boxing design.
I can draw anthromorphic animals for something different if you ever saw my Arnold the Eagle as my previous avatar. I spent a lot of time to designed them with my own style and yet I still get ignored here just because my design are not appealing for peoples here.
I mean are my design not good enough ?

Time to change my avatar.
Hoosha...!

I'm going Purple for this month.

Trivia: ALMIGHTY (THE POWER YOU NEED) was actually from my Boxing on Ice 2021 design as the banner of ice ring.

@Eel the problem I have with this paper is that even after some wet on wet brush strokes it will start peeling. It is so hard to mix colors on it.

And the only problem with the 300g/m 100% paper blocks is the price

@Zuljaras my bloc will form little fluff balls if I get too water-happy, it ends up looking rather unappealing.

@Anti-Matter oh it looks like these have the deviant art watermark. Is that something you add on purpose?

@Eel
Yup.
I added with watermark from Deviantart feature to protect my drawings as I discovered my oldest Chibi boxers design from year 2013 got stolen by other peoples and they redesign my Chibi Boxers with their own design and they posted on Twitter as NFT advertising. 😤

It was also my fault to design my first Chibi Boxers in PNG file without backgrounds to protect my drawings and since year 2017, I didn't posted individual Chibi Boxers design in PNG file so peoples will not able to steal my design anymore. You can check my Deviantart gallery to see my progress from year 2013 until now.

@Eel Yes! That is exactly what I meant!

Also there is a difference between cold press and hot press watercolor paper.

The cold press is textured and has great bumps. It is the classic watercolor experience and 99% of the artists prefer it. White the hot press is incredibly smooth and dry brushing for example is impossible on it.
