Oh hayy, I recognize that top one! I think I commented on it on Facebook, haha. Small world! Very nice painterly stuff :))

Thank you kindly! ^^ Yess, I also love watching process videos. I feel like they help unlock bits of knowledge for me that I can't get from reading or static image tutorials.

Thank you! But ohh believe me, there's more of hard work and blood/sweat/tears in my current level of skill than of talent! As a teacher, I can definitely see how some students seem to have an easier

Thank you :)

Thank you! ^^

Thank you :) May the art on steemit thrive! And yeah, I've been mainly teaching myself digital the last 3 years, but also recently came back to traditional. Completely agree, you cant beat the texture

Thank you :)

Thank you kenny-crane! :)

thank you! ^^ definitely stay tuned!

thank you :)

Thank you! :) And yes, I use Photoshop CS6 and a Wacom Cintiq. The Cintiq is a specialized monitor, pretty much like a giant tablet that lets me draw directly on the screen with a special pen.

thank you :)

Thank you! -
