bynineb asked: Hi! Huge fan of your character design and art style! What do you think were the biggest factors in getting you to your current level of skill? What/how specifically did you practice?

there is no big secret, you have to work a lot, and understand what you are doing. How to improve your skills.
i talked a little about that in a earlier note:
-be passionned, you have to love have you do, and passion can be feel in drawing. i mean, there are excellent drawer, but you feel that they
do it without passion. And sometimes you felt in love of drawings that aren’t technically perfect, but you feel the passion, the life in the character,
‘cause the guy who made it love his characters.
-be open minded, observe everything you can, be interested in all kind of thing, bad and good. I think a good drawer is at first a good observer of the world.
-never give up, simply, nothing is easy, and failure is normal.

I think beside the hard work, it’s the 3 important things, because it help you to get better skill and to have a positive spirit (which is very important in art industry).
