that was absolutely amazing. i love watching timelapse drawing/painting videos. you should mention that its a timelapse video in your title.....
i see you zoomed in very little, i am guessing you are using quite a big screen. what kind of tablet do you use?

That's good advice, I'll add that to my titles from now on.

I'm actually using a rather small tablet. I've got a Surface Pro 2 running Krita. I'm saving up for something bigger that hooks up to my main PC so I can work on higher resolution files.

Hello!

Your work is a work of art for my eyes, the effort is a valuable virud for Steemit, you are achieving it ♡

Greetings from Venezuela

😁 Thanks! I'm liking the Steemit community.

hi dear @markivist, this is great! how long does it take to do a drawing like this? did you study graphic art or are you self-taught? :-D keep on

This one took longer than usual because I kept fiddling with the face (I'm still not 100% satisfied) and I was focusing on small details for my friend. Usually I take about an hour to an hour and a half to make something like this. This took about four.

Other than my high school art classes, I'm self-taught. At the moment I'm trying to overcome my fear of using color.

I have no intention of stopping! 😁 I'm neck deep in making my girlfriend's Christmas present at the moment, but the art will flow more regularly once that's perfect.

congratulations! .. and your girlfriend will surely be happy with your gift ;-)) however, if I can afford to tell you, do not fixate on always looking for perfection, because the art is not perfect !! all the best for you
