Any, really. Nothing specific. Key is practise...no brand will automatically make anyone a better artist.

That is pretty cool. I would love to see the shiny metallic version. Anywho, love the shadows and the moon.

hello i am making an interactive 3D photo gallery with a night theme and uploading it to deviant art. i was wondering if i could get your permission to use your artwork in it. every one will be featured in the authors comment and even have the authors name stamped at the bottom or top of the artwork if they would like. thank you for your time

Sorry, no. I do not allow my artwork to be used for any such things, especially pieces that were created for others.
Thanks for asking, though.

A really nice close-up, it's an interesting pose and view-point too, and really well done :3
The dappled effect in the background looks great too, it's quite subtle but it's really effective ^-^

Great use of space! I am trying to make some ACEOs at the moment and I am wondering how to fit everything in so small piece of paper... but I think this is great example how to use it wisely! Great job!

Thank you!
I always take a scrap piece of paper and draw some ACEO-shaped boxes on it...then scribble a few different composition ideas. 8D; Otherwise I find it really difficult to draw STRAIGHT onto the ACEO and get the composition how I want it. D:

You're welcome!
Hey, that scribbling is great idea: it would be good to have ACEO-sized boxed always on hand so if any good pose idea comes to mind there is right size right there. ^^

Love the softness here, and the color scheme really works as well

The very moment I saw this I thought: "This would be so amazing to see IRL!" and I'm really happy that'll happen.
I think you've captured emotion and atmosphere really well in this one. I think the metallic look and sparkles will even increase the almost magical atmosphere in this.
I really like the way you depicted Ryuko. She looks just like herself and the scene fits her really well. Also, I love the way you coloured her. The shadows and lights on the fur are just beautiful though a little stronger highlights - like the ones on the nose - would've been desired because of the bright lightsource. 
Anyway, I can't stop admiring the shape or Ryuko's head, you've done it really well.

Gee, I'm so happy that you like it! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment!
Might I just ask though - as I'm rather new to traditional art - would the highlights look ok done by the same medium as the highlights on the nose, or would coloured pencil work better, do you think? o:
I hope you'll like it even more in real life! The colours are a lot better than the scan shows! XD

You're very welcome!
I would perhaps first use coloured pencils on highlights and then the medium you used on the nose. I use white ink so I would first use light coloured pencils and then make very thin highlights with ink - that is what I usually do. :> It depends on the light source pretty much so sometimes just coloured pencils are enough. (I love using white ink on my drawing so I have hard time keeping my hands off it. :'D)
I believe they are! Scanners are just colour killers. :<

Ok! Will try that out on my next traditional piece where the light suits.
Haha, I know how you feel about not being able to keep your hands off a certain medium. XD I'm addicted to my gel pens, LOL!

You work SO well with blues!
I really like how well the black in blended into the blue and the overall night atmophere has come off very well!
I like the pointilism in the moon and sky too!
beautiful <3

I seem to work better with colours I like. XD; I'm not too good with browns but blues and other bright colours I get all OMG YAY over, LOL. XD
Thanks so much Becca!

Wow this is gorgeous! Love how you've used different shades of blue to pick out the muscle tones and the shading is superb! Beautiful background as well and I love the detail of the fur. Great job
