Description *warning mini rant ahead*
to all those 'wonderful' people who had been continuously taunting me about my reason for not using PS to draw my stuff for the past couple of months because apparently 'I didn't know how to draw with it and I should practice more'. Wellllll since I know some of you are watching this *points at picture* that's done in PS so apparently I DO know how to draw with PS and it looks not bad even better looking than the other stuff I slap here *gasps*

|D Doesn't mean that every time when an artist say they didn't like using a certain type of medium, they didn't know how to use it at all. I've been using PS for drawing since I enrolled in my college and can easily render the stuffing out of it if I want to. But I said before, I use SAI when I'm doing my personal things mainly due to the fact that I can draw in a not so serious style while being fast in SAI and because my things tend to fly over to the 'let's take this more seriously' attitude when I use PS, it takes more time to finish, something despite loving the process and drawing outcome I get in PS, is not something I look forward to with my cramped schedule and homework in mind.
 
Yes you can argue that 'But your art looks so much more 'professional' when you use PS', and I agree, but that's not the main point. Im not trying to build a portfolio and spam my dA with it at the moment, Im using it as a form of entertainment from people when I finally get home. So yeah, I do what I want with my art in my free time, maybe one day I'll spam pictures in this style on a regular basis but not now, thanks for the concern. |D

Pfff...
it always ticks me off when people think the medium matters.. I've seen literal masterpieces in freakn ms paint.
so yeah. Ignore them. Though this is a fantastic piece, I think all your work is valid and legit, and shows incredible improvement over the years and not once did it cross my mind (or many others I'm sure) that 'she would do better only if she used -this- program or -that- program. The only difference is a few options in the menus. Otherwise, it's literally in the artist's hands.
though i do totally know what you mean about approaching things differently with different mediums. I tend to take real media less meticulously than digital, and so on. It's different per person.
Gosh this skin looks amazing though eve <3 keep up the good work, no matter what approach you choose to use <3

8'D Ikr, I don't really understand why they think that way, seriously it always comes back to the skill of the person drawing, well sure some programs do give a little extra controls that comes in really useful lol. But yeah, normally I ignore them, just sometimes I feel like I have to slap some facts in their faces at least once.

Thank you so much Fure~~! >v< <3

GOSHHHH MAVIS YOU CUTIE who're you given that judgmental look to? |D
and I guess. . .shows how much I know, I'd thought you used PS with most of your art anyway 8''D
People are so rude though gosh I can't believe anyone said that to you!!! 

Your art is gorgeous and that's because you're an incredible artist, not because of whatever medium you choose to use vuv

BD she's judging everyone EVERYONEEEEEEE *slapped*

lol nah it's okay, easy to mistake since I flip flop back and forth from SAI and PS in one pic a lot for texture brushes and save my files as PS files and all, though I do majority of the things and all my lineart in SAI *her PS lines are so wiggly that she goes lineless every time on PS* 8'D

|'D yeah those people prolly didn't have anything else better to do I suppose.....


>v< thankies darky~~~<33
