Holly pepperoni, Batman! I have over ten thousand hits...!! To those awesomely talented artist out there ten or twenty thousands hits a day is probably nothing, but for an amateur artist like me, this is pretty cool. So thanks guys! You have made my day <3

This would be a good time to talk about how I work my "doodles". Some people have asked me how I draw, so I hope this gives you a little in sight. Most of my artwork that's digital are done by mouse and MS paint (from scratch). I really don't have the $ to buy any cool tools like a tablet or awesome markers, so I use what I got: my handy dandy mouse and MS paint (sometimes if I'm up to it I use photoshop7).

About the mouse. To me it's as easy as using any regular pencil. Of cores it never started out like that. Have you ever played with an escher sketch? Ever tried to draw a circle on that thing? Yeah, that's how it felt at first, but like any other thing in life, if you keep at it, it gets easier. I'm even starting to think I don't need the tablet (not to say I don't want one). The mouse is still a little time consuming, but it's fun. It'll be a while 'till I part with it.

About MS paint. Yes, I have photoshop, it's very cool, and it has a lot of awesome features, and I like it. Then why do I keep using MSP? Well, it's because it's "simple". I'm a very lazy person, and I cant be bothered with so many buttons! ...I haven't completely gotten used to PS7 yet, and I like how my low tech paint works. It gives me the look I want and it holds its own against high tech art (to those who are willing to work with it) I've seen dozens of people who know how to use this tool and have awesome results (that are waaay cooler than mine). So don't knock it 'till you try it folks.

About other tools. I've only used actual paint, charcoal, pastel, and other traditional art tools in class, and again, it's because I don't have the $ to keep buying these every time I run out. I use regular pens and pencils that you can find lying around in the house. I doodle on anything that is blank. Like my shoulder bag, tissue box, plastic drawers, etc...

And that's pretty much how I work. Thanks so much for all the favs and watch! I hope you guys keep enjoying my ever so changing art style (if you couldn't tell, i love experimenting).

I'm honestly curious about your artwork, do you really start from scratch with just a mouse and MS Paint or have a scanned base or something, because that is just... WOW.
