Description
I wanted to work on something that I had stuck in my head, and I didn't really care to make a clean drawing. So, I sketched this out. It's a sketch, because it's not clean... However, it certainly wasn't a quicky! I actually spent most of the day on it, just messing around with colors and exploring what I could do with the picture. Drawings like this make me happy.
It's also wallpaper size for wide screen monitors, so feel free to use it.

I simply love this character of yours. You always manage to pump her cuteness up to the maximum level, and the whole feel of the scene is warm and comforting. Amazing stuff!!

Hey, thanks! I was trying something bold with the colors. Bue and orange together. It was originally much more saturated, but my wife suggested I tone it down a bit. XD

Oh, I draw every day, for hours and hours! I often draw more than 8 hours a day, since it's my job. You get fast when you do something a lot.

Just keep practicing, as often as you can!

I am !! also do you have any tips and tricks you can share to a fellow artist??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Without knowing what you are struggling with, it's hard to offer specific advice. My general advice is to draw at least 1-2 hours every day, and to study from real life photo references. It's simple advice and so no one really likes to hear it, but it's how I improved. Studying from real life helps you improve your fundamentals, which can help even if you are drawing anime or cartoony stuff. Daily practice keeps you sharp and improves your speed and accuracy with your studies.
I hope that helps!

Thank you, Its not that I have struggels I just want to become a bit faster. I know skill will come overtime (atm i'm still artist trash) And I still have loads to learn ^^

Nothing wrong with struggles! It shows that you are challenging yourself. Its a sign that you are stepping out of your comfort zone. Gotta do that from time to time if you want great skills! Time is certainly required, but time alone won't help you grow. You've got to spend that time challenging yourself if you want to grow.

Yea totaly true, I don't have a personal style really. So I always look on the internet at other ppl there styles and I'll try doing there style. And I have a big drwaing project I have in mind I hope it will work out ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a good way to go! Personal style DOES come with time, you don't really have to do anything, except just look at art you like. Eventually, style choices will resonate with you, and you will adopt them. Your personal collection of adopted techniques will become your style.

yea that is true, I've only been drawing really serious and a lot just for a year now. In that time I learned a lot. So I can't wait till next year and I can see how far I got then ^^

Mine too! I really wish there was a medieval style tavern where I live. I'd probably spend most evenings there. I wouldn't even drink, I would just hang out and sketch. XD

Maybe! Around here, you are more likely to find hunting cabins than anything else lol.

She seems sad. Like almost like she is disappointed that she's got no one to share that cozy space with. Lonely almost.

Or maybe she's just impatiently waiting for her cider to cool down enough to drink! lol

No one would know the intentions of the subject better than the artist himself. I was just expressing my own interpretation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, yeah, I was just joking around. I enjoy hearing how people interpret my work.

Well this character is interesting. You might consider making her a regular, or even expanding her background.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I definitely have bigger plans for her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good man. Have you given her a name yet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can already imagine some sort of short series involving the character.

Heh, guess she made it to safety and milk and cookies too!

Or maybe I'm just bad at chronology in my drawings. XD

You can call it not clean because the lines are a little sketchy, but I insist as I've said in the last comment, I like the ones you've done like this.
