I know one can be their own worst critic, but I would suggest you could let other people be the judge of that. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, as cliche' as that sounds.

Well this was a pleasant find! I used to watch you religiously on Youtube back in college. Clicked a recent piece of yours just now and your name jumped out at me (though you could argue the art did first). I owe you a lot of credit for many of the fundamental digital painting techniques I still use, and if I ever falter through a piece, it's because I've gone too long without watching you paint! This bit might sound weird, but you also have a very soothing voice to listen to.   Your videos were calming and enlightening.

XiaTaptara In reply to GeekyLady [2016-06-29 04:52:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you kindly.  There is no such things as talent... I have been painting for years and still learning.  Nobody was born able to.  It is all thru learning and dedication.  Everyone can do what I do if they practice.

XIA! You the man! I love your work, you've brought me so far with my work in the long run. I've been using your tutorials for over a year or two now on and off when i've had the time. I'm just trying to adjust to overlay now. By far you're one of my favorite concept artists! Your style is awesome. Thanks for giving tips and tricks and how to's for all these years for free. I've even bought one of your tutorials, very helpful. Thank you! Have a great 2014!

HI again!

I just came to ask: what makes an asian's face look asian? (yes, it does sound like ridiculous question lol) I really want to practice soon (and I also commented on the daily sketch part 1 of that evil man thing, you'll know the comment when you see the name of the sharer)

(by the way, don't take it as racism... >_>)
