You're welcome... your work is gorgeous. And thanks! I'm still trying to get the hang of digital and it's sort of dragging in comparison to my traditional work Shrug Shrug Shrug Shrug Shrug Shrug Shrug

I know the feeling... I only started painting digitally two years ago, and getting used to the very different technique wasn't easy ^^ It's probably even harder for you, since you use a completely distinct style for your digital work...

Anyway, good luck, and let's hope we'll both improve a lot in the next years :D (Big Grin)

Yeah, I sort of started doing it my way (or the highway) from the start and it doesn't help. Sigh.

Aaaanyyhoo, thank you! Here's to improvement!

Thank you so much for your kind words and the watch, they are all so very appreciated! To be honest I frequently think I should focus on one thing instead of fluttering from one style and medium to another. I don't think I'm physically able to do that though, lol :D (Big Grin)
