i tend to work towards minimalist style even when i tried to make things more "complicated" ... glad you like it!

This is absolutely beautiful, really. I think that the empty space is what gives this impactive effect...
One question: Did you use the 'broad' end of your marker to colour the sky? I'm learning to use them, but I can't seem to do it equaly.. Unless it's in small spaces, in which I can use the "fine" end. :/
Thanks for the inspiration, anyway!

Thank you so much for the comment.
This was drawn on small moleskine book which was roughly ... A6-ish in size? I use the brush-like end to color the sky because the broad end never give equal coloring.
The problem with copic is that if the ink dries and you re-apply color on to that area, it will come out in slightly darker color with stripes effect. So I usually go over it several times to make sure the area is colored equally. ... And that's why I draw small XD
Hope that helps.

Yeaaah, the stripe effect just kills me D: In small areas, I work just fine with markers, but when I try to colour the entire background... 
I think my sketchbook is a little bigger than that - and its paper is not as good as a moleskine one - , so it's just plain failure for me XD I was wondering if there was a way out, so I asked you.
But this sure helped, so thanks

I tend to go into social hibernation to save myself the humiliation of being called rudolf because of my red nose.

you have no idea how much that comment meant for me! i've been doubting myself lately especially after watching ppl in DA creating art with complex lineart & colors. makes me wonder if being simple-minded is a bad thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most definitely not, simple and good is just as hard to achieve as complex and good, in a way more so because mistakes are harder to cover where as when its a complex piece its generally easier to hide and disguise them.
Don't doubt yourself, your work is wonderful
