Description
For8 times. That is how many times I redid her. I progressively got worse as I got better. DX I hope it turned out fine in your eyes though.
Felt nice to do some digital again even if I felt rusty doing it... I only stopped for like 2 or 3 days... Why did I feel so rusty?

Thank you! This is actually one of the only older pieces that I am still rather fond of.

Oh my gosh!!!! It's so perfect -- exactly the way I'd envision a young Chrish. I don't even think I had a clear vision before, but I do now. It fits her all too perfectly! I think it's kind of freaking me out. Do you know my character or something? bhahah.
I'm sorry she was stubborn for you and you had to do it eight times, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate your adamance to deliver something this wonderful. It's truly amazing. I showed my boyfriend who also thought it was crazy epic.
You captured a lot in her. Her pose makes me think she's been busy, hard at work, and has chaotically gathered everything, stick included, in case she runs into anything along the way -- that's fitting. But there's also something in her eyes -- innocent, hopeful -- like she's just brought some of her works to a trader and is desperately hoping they will be appreciated and liked, so that she'll have a good meal for the night. Even if you didn't intend that in particular, it all just really tells a story. Maybe several. So wonderful!
THIS piece is well appreciated and liked. I can't thank you enough, so again, thank you!

Yay! I am really glad that you like it. I did connect with her quite a bit while drawing her so maybe I do know her now. XD
Oh it was fine. I am used to it, redoing I mean. I cannot really sleep unless I finish the painting I started. I literally can be lying down for hours with the piece I was in the middle of stuck in my head until I just give up and keep on painting. Even when I do get to sleep, it is in my dreams, taunting me with ways to improve, so I donβt get a good nightβs rest. I mean, I have not been able to slept in like 3 days now. :I
But as long as someone enjoys it, it is well worth the hassle. β₯
I cannot say if I am more impressed with you or me right now. That is almost exactly what I was thinking of while I drew her! Like, almost exactly. I am always worried that I am not getting the point/story across to the people who see my work. I guess I should have more faith in my watchers. C:

Sometimes my work does that to me -- where I can't put it down, can't sleep until it's accomplished.
But other times, (and I think this is why I hate to put something down,) I'll put it down and just not pick it up for a long time. So frustrating!
Anyway, about your accurate portrayal-- I may be perceptive, but I can only perceive what's already there. If I hit the nail on the head in my assessment, it is indeed because you portrayed it with perfect accuracy.
And that is quite a skill to have. If you ever go seriously into commission work, being able to interpret a character and display that much story in simple subtlety, it's largely invaluable. You'll have your work cut out for you! (My gosh, and in trying to reassure you, I probably just layered on the pressure XD)

MS Paint is hard man. You master it, you master the world.

Lol, I've seen some pretty wacky stuff done on MS Paint. Just look at YouTube
It's easy to make a sketch, but it's hard to make it look like it was done on a completely different program.
I've been drawing on MS Paint for four years just about, so I'm decent at it.
