Oh he is a real person?
Well thank you for the link!
Well I would ask something else but i do not want to bother you any further so thank you for this.

Oh, it's ok, you don't bothering me. But my English is very poor, I'm afraid I cannot give you good answer)

Ohh ok. Well you are fine, I can still understand you very well.
My question was just, how do you blend the colors and the skin so well? The portraits you make are so crisp and clean, the skin doesnt look smuggy it looks smooth, but its not perfectly smooth because of maybe the brush you were using the portrait had such a nice texture. Also, i really looveee how you draw his facial features i think my favorite part of the whole picture is his nose, i don't know why but its adorable.
i guess I am just curious to know what tools do you use and how you determine the colors?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm using smudge tool at PS) Texture will depends on what brush will you choose to blend. I'm always give advice to experiment with tools and brushes - it' helpnig to create your own style, find your own way. I use a lot of brushes
About colors - well, I don't know. When someone at last workshop asked Tiago Hoisel same question he felt in confusion. And I always do the same. There are color theory, we all know it, but also it's all intuitive. And of course you can take youre colors from what ever you want - photo or maybe oil paintings, or live model. Use any reference you got)

Oooo, I am currently learning more about color theory. So basically, you can know the color theory but mostly its all up to you to figure out the light, shadows, and the colors.
I do look at a lot of references, I even use your art as a reference because you are so good with using the correct colors in their correct environment.
For my brushes I use a lot of brushes too XD, but mostly i use a round brush and square brush for my pictures, but they are not as pretty as yours. I would have the correct skin tones and the correct lightening, but my pictures always feel unfinished or not as polished.

Polished art - is not final goal. Look at this - fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/201…
static.diary.ru/userdir/6/9/7/…
Do they looks polished? You must keep vibrant feeling of living in your pic - that's all. Feel yoursef free in it)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, so basically, I am just trying to bring vibrance and making my picture some to life. The goal is not to try to make it polish but to just bring out the subject.
Well, here I guess is some of my art that I try to bring out,

They are very accurate you know)
If I'll be you, I'll step out from anime stile a little more. Anime is accutare and pretty, and neat, but I rather take those pics 88grzes.deviantart.com/art/Ret…

Get out from anime standart - best you can do for improving your style
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh i thought I was stepping out of that anime style, I do not use anime at all for my references. I look at real life pictures or more realistic pictures.
Oh dear now i feel a little sadden 
Why does my art still look a tiny bit anime though?

You need more practice with anatomy and bring to faces more individual lineaments. You can't just take the photo ref and paint the man as good as it is - you need long practice. Your achievement - it is just a beginning
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh alright then
How long did it take you to achieve being good at anatomy and landscapes?
Im 19 now, but it feels like it is going to be a long time before I could ever reach a good level of skill.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been learning 5 years in university to reach "acceptable" level in painting, and I'm still learning - I mean self-education. I practice every day, and I am still not as good as I wish to be 8) Even my senior colleagues keep theyr trainings.
Seems like you are have been step on a long way)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my. I have been been mostly teaching myself how to draw all my life, I do go to an art class at a state college, but we learn how to draw with traditional mediums. My teachers say that I am doing very well, but I always feel doubtful of myself like I need to train harder and better, so I draw and practice everyday too. I am not really satisfied with my artwork, I can even be a little negative and critical of my art 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't be afraid, your art is fine for your age.) I'm 27, and I've start drawing in my childhood, in age of 3.) Being critical - is normal. That is a point wich can push you forward, but don't let yourself drown in despair just like "Oh, why practicing does not working?" - cuz theyr does, - or "I will never become a good painter". Yes, you will. You are so young, you have a whole lifetime to education. I choose to put my life for art, and I am happy in it. I not a good painter, but it's ok, cuz I do what I love the most.
Don't worry, you'll be alright) Will you feel better if I'll said that I wasn't as good as you when I was 19?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You weren't good at 19?
But your art looks soooo soo super amazing, I assumed that you would have like intense training at a young age. Like at 19 you received awards and stuff for your art lol.

Ahh, I want to touch your paint strokes... the rougher bits looks especially nice next to the more polished details in the accessories, too.

This is phenomenal. Reminds me of something by the old masters if they used photoshop

Sigh. So good!
If I may ask. How you do you paint the designs on the cloth? Do you paint it separately as a flat design and then superimpose it onto the cloth?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No like the embroidery/ pattern on his clothes. How did you paint that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pattern was taken from free stock, and than I just pull it above clothes. )

Правильно ли я поняла - это Бату-хан, внук Чингизхана?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Да, это именно он. Такой, каким его представил Фобс.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
О, в таком случае, я благодарна вам за прекрасное воплощение этого образа) И, кстати, за Джагатая тоже; он мне в какой-то степени близок - ведь я живу на территории его улуса))
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Простите, но вот этот Джагатай к историческому как раз никакого отношения не имеет.))) Это просто совпадение имен.)))
