I totally know what you mean about sketches being better. Why do I think it is? I think it might be because your brain can pick between a few different sizes amongst the shaky lines, and it evens it out to make it look the most appealing. But if there was one solid line, there's no room for interpretation, so if it's slightly off, you're gonna notice it more. I probably just made that entire thing up and that's not actually a thing. But it's how I interpret it. XD

Speedy is a great critique. c:

That's only because it takes some practice! Why not give it a shot and we can give you some feedback?

I shall do that when I have the chance, thanks! :)

That makes sense! Sketching makes it look more full somehow. When I do the lineart it always looks so flat and like there is 10x more space I need to colour haha. xD I still haven't really got the technique down where you change the thickness of the lineart to give the picture depth and stuff! @_@

I think I'm leaning more towards a 'painting' sort of style than super clean artwork at the moment. I really love watercolour painting and would love to be able to replicate that kind of style!
