Somehow I really like the colouring of this. It's not as neat as your usual watercolourings but that makes this piece especially lively. You should colour more like this, like you'd be a bit sloppy with it...? Because it is looking really good. So full and somehow delicious... I think I have made my point clear that I happen to really like full colours that aren't so tidy and neat all the time X''D

Well, I'm not really expecting anything, because it's always important to do what you like the most. Especially here in dA when this isn't like your job or anything. But still, somehow I get the feeling that you're not willing to get better or let go of your old habits when every time you comment back on me, it's something like "I'm glad you liked it, but I'm not going to do this again." I just really hope you'd get better and better in using bolder colours too and that's why I'm trying to tell you how I really like them, so that you'd be encouraged to try them out more. I don't really care about the picture itself, I mean the content of it, let it be fanart or OCs, because I _know_ you can draw amazingly well, but I really also hope you wouldn't be too glued to your old ways of doing things... I'm always glad to see something new because I want to see your full potential! And versatility!...... BUT then again, dA is for having fun with art too, not just getting better and better, so if that's not fun for you, don't do it.
Guh, I hate writing opinions like this because it makes me feel like I'm saying I'm better than everyone else ;__; And that's most definately NOT the case XD You are clearly way better than me, so I'm a bit afraid of givin my opinions and suggestions to someone who is better than me. But here it goes. I hope you didn't get too offended.

By saying you dont really expect anything is misleading because you certainly do expect something - like you said above I want to see your full potential!/i>
Talking, ah its so hard to talk about "art" for me especially lately. It kind of makes me want to write comments in descriptions like "IDK IMHO i such THXB" and similar not making sense stuff.
I appreciate your interest, I really do. I also understand what youre trying to say to me (in comments and your intentions.) I study art, most likely I will do it as JOB (producing it or teaching it) and it means indeed a lot to me. I keep thinking a LOT about art generaly, subject in art, techniques etc... hence a LOT.
That all is making me take it more seriously, viewing it seriously way more than I used to (hence when you learn some things, you cant really look away...) I encountered more people which talked to me (also privately) that I am too anxious and hard on myself and I have to agree.
Here on DA it literally CLASHES together - draw what I like and draw what I SHOULD. Now what I mean with should: I should experience new techniques and master them fast as possible (we are pushed in school to be best in every art field - theory, graphic, panting, sculpture, drawing, pc design/art... and a lot more - you wont satisfy anyone when youre good in only one and fairly good in others)
Than again I should produce art with meaning, which would actually say something to the viewer - I as much as I want to look away, I do produce a lot of kitsches and flat, so called mute art. As an artist I feel I am not expressing myself tot he outside world as I should (or need to).
I started with "art" because I like it. Because I rest with it.
Lately its unbearable how much pressure I am putting on myself because of all the above mentioned "should" things. And its scaring me to even grab a pencil and do something. I dont keep track how often I submit art here, so I cant really tell if its less now than before or what.)
Hence I want to produce art in general, but am afraid because it most likely wont be "art" in real sense. I want to rest, I want to have fun, but it would mean I would want to draw things I like and feel like in the moment (most likely fandom stuff, kitches pure, technique and style adjusted to the kitsch theme - hence not art at all.)
It drives me extremely to be unsure about myself and my abilities. Also I cant say clearly (objectively) if I developed myself to something new and better - thus positive feedback, similar to yours is very surprising to me and scares me again too.
I think too much about what people say about the next picture, I fear the expectation (hence even youre expectation as you expressed above). Perhaps its freaking me out how many people see what I "like" to do. I am scared to disappoint you in the future, thus I react that way - I cant promise anything.
Hm, I have no idea if I explained or made something clear (nor to you nor to me actually). I would be very sad, if you felt bad hanging around my gallery and giving comments, its not my intention to scare you off or shoo you off or making you stay silent. Just please, understand this: I am not offended (why would I be, especially when its constructive and positive comment!), I just try to answer the most polite way I can.
Oh, dear... I hope I make sense.

It really did make a lot sense to me! Now I understand way better what you feel about art. And I can clearly see that you're in kind of a same situation as I was about half a year ago. I was so afraid of art because I wanted to please everyone and I was really scary to wait what would the comments be! I even actually developped myself a debression over it, but this year I've started to draw again. And this time I only draw things that make me happy, and doing that I can see how much variety I can produce. I'm currently not in art school myself, but I'll soon be starting one. So I hope I can remember to still enjoy art as much as now. But hey, I'll still be commenting on your works and watching you improve. I just really wish you'd just enjoy art, because somehow I can see it in some of your drawings how they have been done with joy, not with skill alone. <3

I've heard there's pretty nice teachers there... They teach to enjoy art a lot, so I hope that I remember to do it too. 8D

Interesting... You look nervous, even though you're smiling... Lol, you're shaking and sweating!! XD
I like how you went outside the "Vocaloid fashion" that's common among Vocaloid OCs. Your voca-self looks like a traveler to me for some reason. Maybe it's the layering... The little stars next to you are cute, especially that one with the wide eyes and single large tooth. :D. I'm curious: why the shadow of the cow to the left (if it's actually a cow)?
Gosh, every time you do a meme, I want to do it, too... Though I still have the Zodiac ID to make and the Character meme to fill out... XD;;

Its kinda the same color as my real hair, but probably not exactly the same - this paper doesnt allow to layer many colors, thus its harder to acchieve darker tones.
