Congrats on 150 followers!

Q&A time! :D

Just kidding. But I would like to ask you...

Where do you get your inspiration from? Your drawings are always so scenic and I was wondering if it all comes from your imagination or not.

Great Slowpoke and Wailord, by the way!

the look in wailord's eye i can feel as if it's looking up at thoses birds and thinking i wish i could fly in the sky

@Mewsea: That's fair. I did ask you something for your 150 lol XD

Hmm, I go into a drawing with an idea in mind. For example, I'm considering drawing unknow next. I sketch out ideas until I get one or two that I like. The backgrounds are my attempt to fill the void and enhance the idea. So I guess it does mainly come from imagination, but the final version often looks better than what was in my head XP

@Kay the pikachu: I didn't have that in mind when I drew this but now I can't unsee that. Wailord wishfully hoping to fly with the birds. I like it! ^u^

Wow! This is really good. Massive congrats on 150 followers!

it'd take mewtwo using his powers to make wailord fly but seeing wailord come up out of the water in pokemon snp is close

@MentalMinty: Thank you and thank you!!! ^u^

@Kay the pikachu: That sounds like a great way to fly, even if its because of a legendary's help. Probably more special that way! My close second would be to have wailords bounce because they apperently can learn that. But I think you can get very close in snap right? That sounds very cool! :D

@Puzzled Wow. You don't know how impressive that is, especially for someone like me who has the imagination of a rock, lol.

So, do you ever have to use references for your backgrounds, ever?

Sorry if I ask too many questions. ^-^''

@Mewsea: I think you're underselling yourself. I refuse to believe that anyone that can draw a gijinka has poor imagination! XD

My backgrounds, specifically? Hmm... I do use references, at least to get a sense of the location. But more so when getting details like the moon or the city lights at a distance. If anything, I almost always use refences when it comes to the sky. I don't know why but I always wanna get the colors right.

I think you should also know that when I first started learning to draw, I started off learning to draw landscapes. So I have some experience with backgrounds.

awesome!

@Puzzled Whoa, that's so cool! Thanks for all the info! I think I have a better understanding of how I should approach more scenic backgrounds now...

And yeah, I guess my imagination isn't too bad. After all, I've created quite a unique style for myself. I've never seen anything else quite like it. ^-^

I think your style has a unique flair to it too. I can always tell straightaway it's your work, without even looking at your name.

@razrdraws: Thanks ^u^

@Mewsea: Really? I feel like I tend to confuse people more rather than help them. -o- But if you need advice, I'll help the best I can. Or you can watch videos online (I'd suggest Bob Ross)

I'm glad you're giving your imagination the credit it is due! It is interesting how art styles end up being unique. I wonder how that happens? Unique people, unique imaginations, so unique art?

@Puzzled Y'know, it's funny... Despite me liking his work, I've never watched a Bob Ross video. I'm oddly determined to learn as much as I can without someone trying to teach me. Idk why.

Yes, I suppose that's how styles tend to work. Though, there's many that look similar. And I imagine it's because they learn from artists with a similar style.

@Mewsea: lol I think I'm the opposite. I'm willing to take any advice and even watch video tutorials online if it will help me improve. Especially, if it's free and out there. >:D

Neither way of learning is wrong. Which ever works best varies on the individual.
Interesting theory and it makes sense. So then, our style evolves from what we like. I figuered styles evolved from techniques and shortcuts we develop as we grow as an artist.

Very beautiful! Looks incredibly nice! Love the coloring!

love it
