I hope people appreciate all the crap traditional artists have to put up with and do, nowadays. I spend hours and sometimes days on single pieces, depending on their size (Usual size is about a standard piece of printing paper) for a couple hundred views, compared to all these digital artists who make thousands off a picture they scribbled down in 10-20 minutes- it's damn frustrating!!! I did an animation for my birthday that was over 30 frames and took me weeks for a lousy 48 freaking views! Great way to destroy someone's will to do the only thing they enjoy in their miserable life... I don't blame anyone- I was just hoping that drawing for 13 damn years, with high quality drawings would get me somewhere decent, at least. This is seriously one of the only things I enjoy doing in life and hate seeing people who just want a bunch of money and not care about art, really get so far and successful for doing next to nothing!!!

Here is the (my) TRADITIONAL process:
1.) Sketch out the rough drawing with pencil.
2.) Ink the pencil lines with marker.
3.) Wait for the ink to dry and then erase the pencil.
4.) Colour everything BY HAND with pencil crayons.
5.) Shade everything with pencil.
6.) Go over some lines that are faded with the marker... again.
7.) Scan the piece on a flatbed.
8.) Edit with Photoshop or something else to crop, get lighting and colour correct, resizing.
9.) Finally upload.

Here in the DIGITAL process:
1.) Draw out the drawing digitally with a pen or mouse.
2.) Paint bucket fill everything in 5 seconds or colour in manually.
3.) Shade stuff.
4.) Upload it.

If you made it this far or are even here at all, congrats, and I love you! Sorry for being a vent-y pain in the arse. I won't give up, but I will get frustrated from time to time like any person out there.
