Haha, thanks! I feel like I did more erasing than drawing in this, but it did turn out all right in the end : )
Ahh, I'm glad you like her! Her nose is different almost every time I draw her, I really should work on that cx

Yeah, it's a fun little excercise! : D 
Awww, you speak so highly of me, thank you for the praise! ;u; 
KH is my favourite also, I enjoyed making her hair even pointier than it already is xD
And yeah, this did make me feel a bit better about my own style actually, I realized how well it fits my preferences! (Though that shouldn't have been a surprise, since my style is shaped by my preferences, but oh well cx )

My tablet will forever have a special place in my heart My art would be somewhere completely different if it hadn't enabled me to make digital art all these years o:

That is a good question actually, since I intended to draw the Avatar style from the tv series, but as I have some of the comics I used those as a reference, too. So it's a bit of both, kinda? It's also the one I'm least happy with, it just doesn't look quite right.

Gotcha for the Avatar style. I think what made me think it was from the comics was the lighter color of the lines? Otherwise, I think you pulled it off pretty well!

I'm glad you think so! The Gravity Falls style is indeed vastly different from what I usually draw, I mean there's not even any eye colors cx Tanwen doesn't look right to me without her green eyes to contrast the red hair :3
Ah, interesting! Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep an eye out. c:
I haven't quite decided on what kind of tablet I want yet o: It'll probably be a Wacom one, seeing as I was so happy with the one I've had for all these years, but there are so many models to choose from cx I kinda want to try a Cintique, it seems so nice to be able to draw directly on the screen... But they're so expensive x) So I'll just have to research it a bit and see what I want/can afford ;3

That's true. That's probably why it didn't feel like Tanwen. She has to have her Green Eyes (if the eyes are shown). You are most welcome .

As for tablets like Cintique, they are usually well made, but unnecessarily expensive (their 13" HD model is getting cheaper though at $786.98). Here are few (usually) cheaper alternatives I came across over the years: Yiynova, Huion, Ugee, Planar (more of an LCD Touch Screen Monitor, but can be used as a Tablet), Monoprice, Artisul, XP-Pen, Parblo, and Bosto. Of the ones listed, your best bet is probably Yiynova mostly because they have been doing this the longest when it comes to tablets similar to Cintique (or at least it seems that way with their good track record). I think they started in 2008 and since that time has consistently have good customer service. I think the company is based in China, but you can still buy it from their website. Unfortunately, after just checking, their website doesn't seem like it's been updated after a while. They still sell products so I'm a bit confused...*checks again*...oops, never mind, looks like they have a new website for Europe. It's www.yiynova.eu if you were wondering.

The biggest Tablet they have so far is 22", while the biggest Cintique is 27". The difference is that the Yiynova's newest 22" model is $1,200 (without discount, with discount it's $799) while the Cintique 27" is $2,299.95 (while the Cintique 22" is $1,999.95) which is a lot for a 5" difference. As you can see, Yiynova is still an expensive tablet, but probably has the best reputation besides Wacom. It does have cheaper options too. Some are as low as $300+, but these tablets are discontinued and hard to find. The lowest continuing models are probably $400-$500 minimum. Anyway, I'd still recommend shopping around and comparing price and quality. I know for a fact that some of the companies I've mentioned are cheaper than Yiynova, just not always on par or better with quality. There are some new(ish) players on the field such as Parblo, Artisul, and XP-Pen, that look good so far though. Best of luck with your search .

Aaaah, thank you so much for all this useful information! I'll definitively take this into consideration when looking for Cintique-like tablets. c:
I'll have to save up some money first anyway, so it may be a while before I can buy a new one. o: Thankfully the old one still works at the moment, though poorly. : P

Yasvmw ! If you want something in the meantime that's way cheaper than the options I've showed you you can try out The Slate which is I believe $169. It's cheaper because you are using a technology that actually copies what you are drawing on a piece of paper onto the computer. Also, you can use just about any pencil or pen that you want to create your drawings since it comes with a ring that you can put around the pen or pencil that allows the device to recognize what you are drawing. This makes the device not need as much resources or energy consumption making it cheaper. Granted it still has some issues (mostly the limitation of paper size), but a great start in my mind. Sorry I keep cluttering you with all of this info, but I thought it would be nice to know a cheaper alternative if it takes a while to get what you are looking for.  At least your tablet still works...I'd miss your artwork otherwise....
