Description I'm almost positive these things aren't supposed to take two and a half months...

I really should have spent the time on the next comic, but I've always wanted to do this challenge. Being able to quickly and nicely draw expressions is something that I'm obviously very bad at so I thought running through these challenges would be good practice. Who knows? Maybe someday I'll get more efficient at it.

The template is from here:Β napalmnacey.deviantart.com/art…

In case you wondered, I'm playing with a different way of drawing her hair.

I like the Maud Pie version of this where it's the same face 25 times.

I watch you because I love your work. Anything that improves your skills and your confidence in them is good in my books.

Wow.......I don't know where to begin Great Brony, but you did an AMAZING job here! Β These are the emotional expressions that you capture so well in your comics that have made me smile the biggest smile and have moved me to tears so many times......all in one VERY comprehensive picture set. Β  SO.....AWESOME!!!!!Β

Well done, I believe you captured the intended emotions quite well. It's been great seeing your different artist styles as you change it up and try different things with your comics and art. You have a lot of talent!

Thanks! I think I've come a long way, but it would be nice if everything didn't take 10 times as long as a "real" artist

One of my favorite quotes with respect to that is by Will Smith: "The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft."

I truly enjoy watching an artist grow in their skill and can't wait to see the next part in the Crabapple and Willow arc.

I've definitely improved. Early on, I didn't even consider myself an artist. I still remember how terrified I was when I experimented for the first time with actual drawn art instead of vectors. It can be a very difficult thing trying to build your skill when surrounded by masters.

Silly Winter Willow is adorable (Silly Willy?). Assuming this may also be in official capacity, it appears Willow is a bit of an arachnophobe.Β

I'm laughing at 'fear' XD

Also I bet this is the only time we'd ever see her with the 'Drunk' expression

Wow! Β I'm surprised at how full of emotion each one actually is. Each conveys as it should!

Wow, um, well, a good two and a half months of work well done I suppose.

I'm guessing you'll be continuing the Winter Willow /Β Smoopsy BooΒ storyline?
