Personally, I've used a tablet for so long, I can't use a mouse. The position of my hand just feels too unnatural for something as loose as painting. I love my tablet because it feels much more like actually holding a pen in my hand, and I have a much freer range of movement. I envy people who can use a mouse well; I feel it takes that much more skill. (Aubry did all that with a mouse!? Wow.)
On another note, I love the way you've done this. You've captured all the details in such a simple way. I find it very difficult to do these without it looking contrived, but this is just so natural and free-flowing. I really like the colors and the very light touches of white.
(Runs off to find a thesaurus for "natural" and "free".)

I'm pretty sure this is as far as I can take this one.
Thanks again to everyone for all of the encouragement. ^___^ Thank you also for your insight into tablet use. It was very helpful.

Definately not anime... I wish I could do something like this my problem is I have neither mouse nor tablet and must resort to the stupid clumsy finger pad on my laptop... This is so good and I can't wait until its finished, but I am puzzled by how it can get better than this...

oh completely excellent.

*sigh* I wish I could create artistic things like this. Actually, I think a lot of people complain about anime not because they don't like the drawing style of a person, but because they often create completely non-artistic and unoriginal drawings, like hyper cartoon females with a title like "some girl" or "random". Good artists might draw something like this occasionally, but doing it to excess irritates some people. Though to tell you the truth, I find anime art to be an uber spiffy style. But that's probably because my drawing style is based off anime *shrivels into a ball terribleness* D= I feel like one of those non-artistic and unoriginal people now....

Oh, on a side note, I so want to try out a tablet (anything would be better than the mouse I have).

Caddris (Sep 19, 2005)

Heh, I draw anime-esque characters a lot too, so please, don't shrivel into a ball of terribleness. Anime is just a way of simplifying features and a lot of its appeal comes from the crisp lines and coloring. It takes skill to find the one perfect placement for the one perfect line. Sort of like Hemingway for artists. XD I would oppose with my whole being anyone who argues that anime is non-artistic.
