Love your Deviant pic by the way. L is my favorite Death Note character.

I was reading the manga before the anime came, and when I saw it was to be animated I fanboyed a lot
L is my favorite character from Death Note too, and also my first name is Luis

Yeah, I read all of OPM. I'm one of the most impatient people on the planet so it is so hard for me to wait for the manga updates. Especially since I am used to watching or reading everything at once (I get into fandoms late)
Very nice name by the way. I'd give mine, but I'm not allowed.

Did you use circular movements when using the black as well?
π: 0 β©: 1
it depends on which kind of object I'm coloring; if I'm trying to color a piece of cloth, I would go with circular movements as described in the tutorial, but if I'm trying to paint hair, then the strokes must follow the hair direction instead of circular strokes, unless you're coloring a very wavy hair like an afro style
And welcome to deviantart ^^
