Your pencils drawing also look great. The explanation of your art was very helpful. Just by looking at your art, it seems represented your emotion right now. Art is the best medium to express our feeling. It not easy to draw the little creatures in different emotions. Some looks scary, some looks cute :) I love coloring and also self learnt. When we love something, I believe we can just learn it our own and continuously improved by practicing. Thank you for sharing your art @sanderjansenart. My next goal would be learn to sketch by using color pencil after saw your art work. It really motivate me.
Thank you for your kind words! Yes for me it's the best way to draw and release what I feel into a drawing. That way I can also let it go because it's somehow contained in the artwork.
I think you are right if you have the drive and you love what you do you will get there eventually. I tried colored pencils a couple of times but didn't really get into the workflow (probably no patience). Happy to hear you got motivated and hope you still are. Just give it time and don't rush so you can make beautiful things.
