Wow, thanks mate! It is a great honour to inspire another artist to create, and one I take seriously. I hope you won't hesitate to ask if I can be of any help!

Thank you very much! If I may ask, what paper do you tend to favor for drawing? So far, I have used printer paper and some calligraphy paper--I like both, but I was wondering what you like to use.

I like to draw on cartridge, but Hot pressed Watercolour paper is great too, a nice flat surface but absorbent and resilient. Hard to find in pads, but art stores have large sheets you can cut up. But for something like a rhino, cold pressed might be better to help with the texture.
A bit expensive for general sketching and doodling of course, and I find printer paper works just fine for that.

Ah, yes, I saw that some of your drawings were on cartridge.
Thank you very much for the reply! I will definitely try those out--it's great to experiment to see what works best.

You are MOST welcome, surely the lack of comments and favs on your work comes from some sort of envy, and I don't appreciate jealousy keeping great artists in shadows

You are a great artist! And the places youΒ΄ve been and everything youΒ΄ve experienced...amazing!
Thank you for all these great works!!
(and I can recommend the Danube Delta in Romania, though sadly I have never visited it myself... I believe thereΒ΄d be enough beautiful motives!).

Thank you, I've been here a while, but I really haven't learned much about how the place works, I have no clue how to generate pageviews or get a daily deviation, I just post stuff and go around looking at peoples work, currently I'm looking at yours, its excellent!!!

i hear ya about the pageviews. mine are still quite low considering i've been here over 8 years.
thanks for checking out my gallery.

Well, we'll have to figure out how this Daily Deviation stuff works and recommend each other!
