      @Coley Thanks a ton! I’m still trying to wrap my head around “my style” and it’s really nice to get feedback. I appreciate it very much.

        @Eric-Droke thank you very much. Regarding adding color variation. I put down one layer of the main color, then just use smaller brushes adding layers of layers of different color on top. Some times I adjust the opacity of the layer a bit so the colro mix together better. This particular image is done in procreate with 6b pencil and artistic crayon brushes (both are default procreate brushes). I try to think of how impressionist painter uses color - like Claude Monet's green is never just green - if you look closely there is pink, red, yellow, purple, and all other color in his green.

          @xin-li Thanks for the info! It’s similar to how I work, but I’m definitely going to try pushing more color in my process. Love it!

            I started a Ko-fi this month, and every week I've put out some little something to the--count'em: TWO people who donated that month. LOL! So far I've shared three phone wallpapers and two Zoom backgrounds. It's not a lot, but it keeps me doodling. It has been hard to stay focused and motivated lately, to be quite honest. I have ignored my social media accounts over the last month and I find myself getting more and more tired and depressed a lot easier than I used to... I've lost a lot of drive somehow, and I'm not sure how to find it again... I have to turn everything back from being daunting and exhausting toward being exciting and validating again, and that just seems so hard right now. It's all I can do to just doodle... Anyone else experiencing this at the moment?

              I haven’t been on in a while and like @Coreyartus, I too was feeling artistically dry but going on vacation has helped a lot. I missed some great work on this thread while I was not paying attention. Anyway, I struggle with environments and settings so I took a watercolor sketch I did at the lake and turned it into a Lilliputian setting. It was fun.

                    Messin' around with a portfolio book dummy. A chance to do many silly illustrations 🙂
