You have such a dreamy feel in your drawings. And you always draw such beatiful faces! Do you also like to just draw faces from a certain angle? I find myself doing this quiet often. And they all end up looking a bit alike. Anyway, her hair is lovely and I love the colours in the background, it makes me think of the warm Summer days. And that dress is so gorgeous, how do you manage to make the fabric so realistic?

Ah thank you so much! <3 <3 you perfectly understand how it goes! haha, yeah I have a thing for half profile , even though I have drawn several ones when the subject is looking straight up front, but I don't know why I find those to be more difficult as it is so easy to fall into flatness! Half profiles don't have that difficulty and they feel a bit more soft and elegant to me as well because I also have a thing for jawlines! oh my god I love doing the whole angle and shape of the jawlines and just everything when In that profile!
I need to get out of my comfort zone more often though!
And when I am doing whatever related to fabric, I always try to imagine what type of fabric could that piece of clothing be if it existed in real life, and I try to mimic it as much as I can with just my default brushes and in the end if I feel like it still needs an extra push, I make or put together some texture brushes and use those to finish things up, but that is a thing that I want to also stop doing all together, as it is always best to achieve it all with just the default simple ones than to depend on textures! (even if the professional illustrators DO use texture brushes A LOT in their pieces, I kind of feel like I would like it best if I achieved the look with just my simple ones and a bit of patience) So I need to keep practicing *sigh*
