My part of a ACEO trade with Inku-Inku on dA. :)
She was a sweetheart and ended up doing two beautiful cards for me, so I had to return the favor. <3 Hope she likes them~ (it's the same character, just with a summer/winter coat)
And... I must say, trying out an actual light source with copics and pencil is challenging. >> I have a lot of respect for artists who can actually manipulate traditional media without making it look like fail.
I'm encouraged try harder with gouache/acrylic and find a combination that works well for me... markers are a bit harder to control and aren't exactly analogous to digital. XD

I won't lie, traditional media tends to scare the fuck out of me because of how 'oops free' it tends to NOT be. at the same time though certain things just look better in traditional media and it makes me wish I was skilled enough in illustration to be able to do something like this without it being full of mistakes I can't get rid of. Great work.
Thanks~
Actually, it scares the bageezus out of me too... but it seems like once I get down and do it, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Doesn't mean I don't need to practice moreeeee, but I think if you just put stuff down on paper you'd be surprised at what you can do. :D
Within the next couple of weeks I wanted to try a bigger acrylic/gouache painting (some other artists gave me tips I want to use), but I'm apprehensive for the same reasons you are. XD (I just need to suck it up and go for it)
