Thank you , thank you so much!! Why I didn't realize this tutorial earlier? ugh, you have no idea how this is useful to me, I particularly love your texturing technique, you have must been taken the time in layering different kind of texture until it became your own texture effect! I recognize the damask texture, but I didn't realize all those watercolor texture before! x__x

It is so humble for you to really share us how you do your illustration, I know I really appreciate your effort for making this. :') I pray that you'll be even better in your illustrations!
