Better image pre-loading, so you don't waste precious drawing seconds waiting for each image to load. A loading... 继续阅读

We got featured on ArtByCe's Youtube channel! I love this video not just because Ce says some very complimentary things about the site ;), but because she shows her whole sketching process.
