    Critique Request Elephant(progress)

    Overall very nice. My only suggestion is to avoid cutting the outlines as you did. The tusks for example have hard lines. With the exception of fish I use dots or little dashes for outlines. But that is just me.....

    Checkering question

    I’m having difficulty checkering the top lever. Should I keep going with less than perfect checkering which is difficult to see at arms length. Or just remove the area to be checkered and stipple it? thanks Dan

    Pros of procreate and other digital products

    I’m sure I could find a hundred good things to say about procreate or digital designing in general, but for me the biggest seller is that I have never erased through the screen of my tablet. Dan

    Critique Request First scroll design, I would really appreciate your advice/critique/opinions

    Hi Thomas. My first thought was it is much better than my early attempts. Keep up the good work. My second thought was ‘thorny’. I don’t like all the small outside leaf features. I also don’t like the origin. Just my opinions though. How about starting again with something like this?
