The ribcage park kills me. I'm trying to practice drawing that part but it just keeps kicking my butt.

You'll get it eventually, just don't give up.

At least your not having issues on a major foundational part of the body like I am with feet and hands.Curse you necessary appendages!!

I don't think me and coloring are good friends. I have an issue with choosing the right colors - I mean, something I will like because picking some random ones that will match isn't really that much of a deal.
I admire my husband who's a great traditional and digital artist and I think I will try and learn from him as much as possible about coloring and shading using something else than black and white.. Yup.

Thank you so much - it's great to know you like it. Makes me wanna practice more

I've always been a fan of stark pictures with bright colours thrown in - it's such a fantastic contrast, and really helps details stand out more.

I know that "picking colours I like" issue pretty well. XD'' I use markers, so everything has to be taken into consideration, and depending on the markers I'm using it's pretty much take it or leave it flat colour. I'm pretty terrible at all colours, though - I have such a problem moving away from the sketch and the way it looks (because I'm also a fan of sketchy art) that I usually just forgo colouring completely. >.<

You're very welcome. <3 I was wondering if you would mind a piece of fan art from me?

I eventually became a 90% digital artist - sometimes I love the traditional media being random but usually.. I can't stand now knowing what they will do to my drawing as I am all neat and clean and line-loving person ;D It's hard for me to produce something sketchy or painterly I really enjoy after it's finished. So I admire people like you a lot - for the talent, the patience and the skills.. Umh, and knowledge on how to use certain media like markers, pencils.. Cause we know that different brands can give totally different effects.

I don't ever mind fanarts.. I don't know when I will be able to return the favor though because this week is the last week of my vacation and I'm back to work on tuesday.. After work I move to my second job - so being a mom in the evenings. So I won't have time to create again :/

I'm always scared to put ink down because my lines are always so shaky on paper. DX Plus I've started using different types of markers, and they can be SO unpredictable. The piece I started using them on was thankfully SUPPOSED to be, so luckily it went weird in my favour, but for other pieces I'm a little trepidatious. I'm starting a new technique (well, for me) though - sketching on paper, inking on the computer. Hopefully it helps!

Problem is, I get lost in programs like Painter - but I'm making progress!

I'll have it up soon, hopefully! It's alright if you don't return the favour, I'm just happy to send it your way!
