Hello, I love your portrayal of characters through your art!

I wanted to ask, besides the chromatic aberration,

do you have any techniques in digital art you love using to achieve this somewhat vibrant, semi-realistic but characterstic look to your art?

i think my digital drawing process is mostly evolved from photography process. I'd think about composition, the settings of the people in the frame, the lighting setting, and the post adjustment. Firstly i just draw what i want, and when it was almost finished i would use layer effects to adjust the colour and brightness and other parameters. So post processing is quite important in my drawing process. I think most digital artists apply this process.

But speaking about semi realistic but characteristic, it's just that i like this kind of style, so i study and practice the style in my art. It's a matter of discover your own aesthetics and a lot of observation and reflection and practice😋

Heyyy 🥺 I really really love your art! You're a big motivation for me to keep going on and tryin to become a better artist. Do you have any tips or suggestions how to become better?

Omg thank you😭❤️I'm glad to be the motivation of other artists. I actually don't have much official advises because I'm not a professional in art, but I'd like to share my ways of drawing.

For me, the large amount of practice is essential. Though i love drawing stuffs from time to time since i was little, I wasn't very comfortable during the process, always feeling under pressure and scared and frustrated when i didn't bring out what i want, thus i drew very slow. This year i finally had some time to practice. I participated in a sketch challenge that required me to draw 6 sketches per day for 2 months, and that really helped a lot. Everyday when i finished my daily 6 sketches, i felt a lot easier to draw my own stuff, and my drawing speed became faster. And then i knew that you have to warm up before you do anything, and you have to keep practice, just like an athlete. I'm sure that everyone learns to do art since they are little knows this but i haven't understand it till recently😭

And the other essential part is always watch and appreciate good arts. It can be digital art, fan art, modern art and classical art, and maybe not just visual art but music, and it can be literature and sculpture and so on. It can help you develop your own aesthetic and point out your direction to make your own art. It's a long process, and be changeable and contradictory. You can have multiple types of aesthetic simultaneously and that's okay, It means you are trying and experimenting. Your own aesthetic will be your direction or goal, like a North Star guiding your way to create. So to receive and appreciate good arts is important (and actually sometimes i get inspirations from them so that's quite important too).

For now I can only think of the two advises. I hope they can be helpful and i look forward to see another great artist rising like a star🌹
