Hi I dont know if this will reply to any user in particular - or just the forum but to anybody who contributed to this thread thanks a lot : ) I definitely have been playing it safe with my mark making and not thinking critically and sticking to a pattern of what I thought worked. Obviously, that's good for certain applications (e.g only making CSI curves) but it definitely felt like I was holding back but I can't thank you guys enough :D this is my first time posting my art online so I'm so glad I did so here
