You have such a great gallery!
I'd love to ask you one question,
how do you make characters feel heavy? (or not at all?)
Its a thing I cant tackle and wondered if you could advise me on it.
Thank you <3

Well, a good foundation of understanding anatomical form and function goes a long way.Β
I usually try to create weight and volume through essential uses of shadow, mostly putting thicker or 'heavier' lines underneath and thinner or "lighter" lines above.Β
Let me know if that helps.
