Hello everyone, My name’s Deathspi aka Nicola. Nice to meet you!
Without blathering on about my life story, I’ve always dipped in and out of art, but get thrown off by my lack of confidence and constant self-criticism.

I love making fantasy art, but am also writing a book for my 5y/o daughter which I’m trying to illustrate.

Anyway, please feel free to critique, but please be nice as well. ^^; As my little sister used to say, ‘save the negative feedback for eBay!’

First exercises, and yes, I’m shaky!

hi! Welcome fellow newbie!! :smile: awww, that's so sweet, making a book for your daughter. I hope you finish it, that sounds really special. Your doing good at those exercises too, keep it up :sparkles:

Thanks for the welcomes @Junouno and @mitsuki-youko!

Couple of exercises to show. I absolutely hated the adjustments which required changing the curves as I just couldn’t get the desired result no matter how long I sat there tweaking. Oh, and I erm, changed the wrong dots in the first section, whoops!
