Instead, I will show you the tutorials I learned the most from, 'cause I suck at explaining anyway. xD

On the Artist

How long have you been drawing?
My whole life.

Are you self taught?
Did you go to an art school?
I learned everything about Photoshop and color theory by experimenting and looking at tutorials on deviantArt, if that even counts as "self taught". xD

In 2012 I attended Escuela Profesional de Dibujo and Dibujarte School a year later (when it was good). I never did any traditional art until then. I learned a lot on volume and light sources and apply that knowledge on Photoshop. ♥ My old account, kancle, is ENTIRELY an example of what my art was like BEFORE attempting any art school. Part of this account is so as well. xD

Art schools rather encoraged me to experiment more and research on my own. The only difference between you and the greater artist is time. c:
