Can I marry you, please? Because you seem to be a nice and talented human being. Your inktober drawing from day 5 gives me life. Have the best day! xx from a smol fellow artist.

Aahh thank you so much, I’m so happy you liked it - I love drawing some occasional cozy Credence :’)) It’s been so weird drawing for inktober when I so rarely draw traditionally, but I’m glad you guys don’t think it’s a massive mess at least?Have a wonderful day you too and best of luck with your art endeavors <3

This new Jethin sticker is perfect, you know that, right? Love it!

Thank yoooou! I had fun drawing it! I have one more scheduled for Saturday in a slightly more chibi style that I think is a bit cuter. Your Jethin is always my favourite though!!

I have a question for you about your gorgeous Hannictober art - what model of scanner did you use? (Unless you somehow managed to get quality that clear from digitalizing a photograph, if so, kudos to you) I work mainly with watercolor and don't own a scanner at the moment, but the ones I've tried won't scan light washes. At all. So I figured I'd ask someone whose art looks good after scanning. Thanks in advance!

I use an HP Officejet 4620 to scan my stuff, then tweak the levels in photoshop. For the Hannictober drawings specifically, I selected and removed the white background as well. I’m sure not all of the light washes came through, but it might just be the contrast between the parts that remained and the background that make it look like it all showed up. 

@do-not-call-it-art works primarily in watercolour, and her pieces always scan beautifully, even capturing the texture of the paper! I don’t know what scanner she uses, but maybe asking her would be worth a shot as well! :)

Good luck with your art!

I recently did an art exchange with the amazing @do-not-call-it-art​ and look at this adorable little Gethin that arrived in the mail! Look at his cheeks and his sparkly eyes oh my god. He’s so perfect. ; _ ; Your style is so beautiful, I absolutely love it. Thank you again for doing this with me--I had so much fun!

Check out more of her gorgeous art here! <33
