Delightful characters! Love them all. Drawing whimsical people and animals from imagination is something I really want to do more of (and break my tiresome dependence on reference photos). Thank you for the inspiration!

In reply to Tosia. Thank you for your comment, Tosia! Keep creating! Patience and skill grow with time. If you find something you see overwhelming, focus on the creative ideas rather than on the technical execution! By maintaining and boosting your creativity, you will gradually get more stamina to take more time and work with the details.

As always, truly inspiring. But I confess that I am so overwhelmed by your creativity and skill that I don’t often dare attempt to make my own drawing. Sometimes, I do. And I see how very far I have to go. Keep sharing, Paivi, and inspiring even laggards like me. <3
