Echolight's art

[Echolight]

Honestly I think this is the best quality art I've ever seen you do.

It's insane that that isn't digital art and you actually hand colored it! You're so good at coloring with traditional media. The oranges fade into each other so flawlessly, and I like your background more than the original!

Ok that colouring job is blowing my mind. Amazing work!

This looks incredible. Others have already mentioned it here but the amazing colouring and the boxing technique really stood out to me right away too - looking forward to seeing more!

That's really amazing! Your art gets better every time I look in here.

Oh my goodness guys thank you so much!!!! <3 <3 <3

You don't know how much this means to me. Waking up this morning and seeing these posts as soon as I open up ZD has really given me a boost of happiness and inspiration. Thank you guys, each one of you are so kind <3

This made me so happy~

I can't imagine how hard you must work to get your art so clean

A drawing like that usually takes me several hours, or a full afternoon if I don't take breaks. Sketching usually doesn't take that long (it depends on the subject I'm sketching), but lining with pen and shading with colored pencils is what takes up the most time. I have to go slow to make sure each line is smooth and bold. And shading just takes forever. Layers upon layers upon layers.

So basically, yes. It takes a lot of time and effort. In comparison, plain pencil drawings/sketches take me about 30 mins. So in order to actually finish one of the big drawings I start, I have to have a lot of inspiration and motivation.

But it's worth it in the end. Every time I see the finished version I get so happy. And then showing you guys makes it even better <3

Yeah I know. I had realized when I wrote clothes I mainly meant shirts/jackets. But I had already lined it with pen by then. I dislike wearing any shirt that isn't loose and oversized. Skinny jeans are fine, though sweatpants are more comfortable.

So I really meant to write shirt. Sorry about that haha

Red pandas are so cute and fluffy and aaaaa
I was a bit surprised of the lack of red panda fursonas. I honestly expected them to be more popular. They exist, but they definitely don't get the spotlight like wolves, foxes, and cats do. So yeah, they definitely need more attention and love <3

Well, it accurately portrays what I saw when the three were announced. I was like, "oh, frye. cool. Big man, pretty neat! Shiver...wait, shiver's awesome!!! skjfkfkkcjgkfjalkjskhkdjhal"

I love this!!!!!

Thank you!!! It took so long to finish. After splatfest I really wanted to draw her, and I started the drawing a few days after that. The sketch and pen didn't take that long, just a couple afternoons, but the colored pencils took forever haha
I'm glad you like it <3 <3
