    Freehand...eh, how do I explain it?
    Well, you are aware of how beginners tend to draw (when it comes to just traditional pen(cil) and paper ), right? They do not bother with sketch lines / guidelines; they just draw the entire thing as a finished outline, thus the result can turn out pretty wonky if not ugly sometimes. It's basically how we all learned how to draw. xD

    I think you really should still stay close by traditional media, but that's just my opinion. Sadly I don't see quite that much amazing artwork / fanart done with traditional media anymore.

    Ahhh, I see. yeah that one was pretty much just a straight freehand drawing, then, while the neater traditional drawings are done in sketches first. I put a second sheet of paper on top and trace the lines I wish to keep to make the whole thing look neat. "In the Dragon's Garden" took at least four layout sketches before I was satisfied enough to lightly trace over and color, lol. I went back and darkened the lines in appropriate places, putting black colored pencil emphasis on the shady bits.

    I appreciate your comments! I do have much more knowledge of the traditional art mediums, but I am trying to also learn digital art. I want to eventually get into realistic 'paintings' using digital art, but that will take some time to learn. In the meantime, though, I'll definitely try to get more traditional work in my gallery! It's nice to know what people think of what I draw.
