Description (no, it's not spirited away wallpaper pack like I said before)

Hello!

Since there are people ask me how I do this or that in my painting. I decided to create a mini guide of the technique I use.

Hope it helpful to you all!
and feel free to share your opinion.

1) Find good art tutor/school where you live, I mean, 'proper' art school, not just some random tutotial on internet.

This step is crucial, because it's the way I and many other artist learn art too. Study by yourself is okay, but learn from expert is much more efficient and much quicker way to learn anything. If you don't know where the art school is, just ask your friends or your teacher, there must be anyone who know!

2) Practice everyday. The more you practice, the more you better, and this is the FACT.

Nah..I used to participate in Mint's wallpaper contest around 2 years ago, but my design didn't win. But this technique is quite easy, so anyone can do it anyway.
