It's really good! Maybe I should try to draw realism biggrin

Oh, all done on one layer, by the way. I wanted to restrict myself to make it feel as traditional as possible.

Kiroro!!!!! (to poster on japanese singers)

anyway, I am in no position to judge anyone here on anything but this is great for one layer. It affirms that I'm not going insane either which always nice.

Awesome!!!

I'm kind of amazed at how much I can jump skill levels in such a short time.
