I love your artwork, and I've recently started doing artwork myself ( though when I compare your artwork with mine, my artwork looks like a child's drawing, not even a good one at best). What do you use to make your artwork? I was also wondering if you could teach me ( I could give you some tf2 items in exchange for a lesson or two)? o_o ....

Thanks. I started drawing since I was 7 and been doing it since. Takes a lot of practice get good (just like TF2). Practicing will improve your observational skills and get your hand to draw accurately to what you see/imagine.

At one point, my skills were pretty stagnant for a couple of years. I was so busy with work that I put off drawing for fun. Then I started doing a lot of gesture drawings for the last two years and I can see the improvement.

I use Photoshop nowadays for my digital artworks. Recently, I've been dabbling with ink and watercolor. I don't mind giving feedback and suggesting some exercises you can do. You won't have to pay me.

How long have you been drawing? You have some pretty adorable artworks!

Thanks, I've been drawing for quite some time now. So do you have any advice you can give me?

I will always recommend doing a lot of gesture drawings. They help a lot in improving your observational skills, loosen your drawing lines, improve your speed and puts a lot more life into drawings once you get the hang of practicing it. Google gesture drawings of Matt Jones and Alex Woo. They're my favorites. Gesture drawing isn't life drawing though. So don't worry if your anatomical understanding isn't enough (having some will help).

Occasionally, study and/or copy art (just for practice!) to help to understand how other great artists do it. I used to copy Akira Toriyama's works when I was 8.

Is it okay if one of my commission's has 2 extra cosmetic's?

Also I hope I'm not asking too much for 3 commission's :c

How do you save Pictures in high resolution JPEG style? because my "art"-works (if you can even call them like that) are saved as Maximum in Photshop CC but they don't look that great... o.O

Make sure you begin with a higher resolution (150 dpi and above).

Hi Kinst ,sorry to bother you again, but can you provide me a small tutorial on making artwork with Photoshop ( or a link to a video tutorial)? Iv'e tried searching tutorials but I have'nt found anything useful for what I'm searching for.

What sort of artwork are you trying to achieve? There are many different ways to approach it depending on style and treatment (ie. outlined, no outlined, painted. realistic, cartoony, etc). There are tons of tutorials out there but you'll need to narrow down what you are looking for.

Perhaps you have some example of what you are looking to create? Or are you looking to improve more on how you've already been drawing your cute looking style. Haha.

Well, basically what I mean is that the moment Im on Photoshop I dont have a clue about what to do next. xD

Hahaha. Here's one that I've come across through YouTube. Just do some search in YouTube. There are tons of tutorials in it.

Of course, with keys it's more than a dollar. I was referring to if I offer my art only with ref prices, I'd might as well give them out for free. Making art takes time and these are already discounted prices compared to what I would normally charge out of TF2.

So I really, REALLY adore your art, some of my favorite I've ever seen. I would absolutely LOVE to have my Samurai Demo done but your prices are a bit too high for me. Could we work something else out? An item exchange? Me give my unusual and you give me change back, save for 3 keys? Let me know. I could give you my 24 key unusual and you give back 21 keys.

I'm really glad you like my art. It makes me happy to know there are people who appreciate it but at the moment I only take keys because I have no use of items. But thanks for the offer!
