That's neat that you mostly got your start with digital stuff! I know what it's like to get used to a mouse, everything you make with it feels like an accomplishment because it takes a lot of patience to be good with a mouse haha. I really encourage you to get a writing tablet, I picked up the cheapest Bamboo one I could find, and honestly it opens up a lot of new possibilities and it's just fun in general. I don't think you would regret it!

Haha aww, starting with sprites. That's fairly unique as far as I know! I have to agree having a physical piece of paper, or canvas etc to move about it amazing. My tablet also doesn't have a screen on it, and once in a while I find it frustrating that I can't look at my entire drawing (if it's a large piece) at once and continue to work on it. I almost always have to be zoomed in to make sure my lines are straight in such, I'm sure you've had this feeling before!

I think it's really important that if art ends up being part of your career to have something else involved with it that is still a hobby. When I was younger some people believed I would grow up and become an artist of some sort, but I always wanted to be in the field of Biology and to have art as my hobby. I think it's important to balance work and play and I think that's a good solution for you. I'd love to see some of your acrylic work, do you have any on display somewhere online?

;_; I made a spelling error and your post highlighted it for me haha, oops! I definitely agree with what you said about a basic understanding! I definitely got that from pencil and paper when I was much younger. As far as written critiques it does seem meant to be! It's much easier for people to be honest and really think about what sort of message they want to send the artist. I think constructive criticism is extremely advantageous, especially in the online art community. It's great to get opinions and learn how others may view your work.
