No problem, I absolutely loved the way you did that piece.
I am excited to play that game soon! I know, it's already come out as a digital download, but I am going to wait to get the hard copy with all the collectable stuff.
Keep up the great work!

Hey, Porto. How are things?
It's been a long time.
I just wanted to ask, whether the NvC-Promo offer still stands or is it cancelled?
Just want to be sure.
Other than that, good luck for the class.

The offer still stands, I've received a lot of face to face offers for commission work; so I am sorry if it takes me a bit longer then you might of expected to draw up your characters.
I really need you to leave me a note on the characters that you want me to prioritise on, also please specify what type of mood you want me to create with the characters; is the story of the game going to be darker then what is usually characterised by Nintendo or should I be hitting a more lighthearted key?
I'll work on something today for you if I get the chance.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I see. No hard feelings.
Sorry to contact you this late, but I have a job and all.
I would go for a Nintendo-typical approach. Not too dark and more light-hearted.
(Though in the end, it depends on the characters, whether they are originated in a light-hearted game or in a darker one. Though it remains Nintendo-typical)
I will send you a note later about the priorities.

That is really awesome.

Hey, dude.
Do you know some kind of tutorial, that I could use to learn and improve?
I'd help a lot.
On another note:
I FINALLY completed my "Rulebook for Video Game Creators".
[link]
Maybe I will add quotes later on.
But it's pretty much complete now.
If there is anything off or missing, then feel free to tell me.

I'd say to stay away from "tutorials". Just watch other artists draw on youtube, focus on how they form shapes and what they do with their hands when they are doing it.
Tutorials force you to draw in a specific way, which is bad for an artist that wants to evolve.

BTW: My hands tend to get shakey.
Thus many lines end up being wavy.
π: 0 β©: 1
This probably comes from pressing to hard, or lack of confidence; probably a mixture of both. Relax, no one's watching you. Focus on the line that you are going to create, not so much that it becomes a drag (no pun intended) and not so little that you become careless. Look at the way water flows from a bottle into a cup.
The motion is smooth and expressive, don't push your pencil into the paper; glide it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, it's not that.
I naturally have a shakey hand at times.
I have no control over it, if it happens.
But okay.
π: 0 β©: 0
I am not sure about that.
Some basic tutorials that teach me the basic and what I need to look out for, is all that I need.
But okay.

Like I said, focus on forms of objects; think of them in 3D space. When you look at something, step back, move around it and then visualise it in your mind.
