Don't worry about the background. I don't worry about it (go plain gradient backgrounds wooh!)

Besides who's looking at the background? XD

Actually this picture makes me worry about kissing pictures, cuz I've never posted them. I've posted panty-shots, even a guy's nude buttocks and ballback but kissing pictures make me nervous.

*cries* ANT-chan you're exposing my insecurities!! *hides naked insecurities*

ANYWAY AFTER THE PITY-PARTY....

GREAT JOB!! *o*

This is the first "romantic picture" I've ever completed. And my god, did it fight me the entire way. The kissing part, once I got it down, wasn't so bad, but it was mostly a matter of getting their proportions right in comparison to each other and what not. You do well with that, so you won't have as much trouble. For the actual kiss, all I did was look up pictures of anime kisses, and that helped me a lot.

And THANK YOU! I worked hard on this picture (because I'm not that terrific of an artist. My body shapes and proportions seem to turn out wrong at the oddest moments...)

Are you kidding me? I have so many issues with proportions that I will literally destroy pictures old and new, because I hated they way it looked. I thought if you get better you worry less about proportions but it was all A LIE!! You just scrutinize more!

I worry about it more. It never gets better. That's why artists are always unhappy. >:(

but I guess if I wasn't an artist, I'd probably be suicidal >< so its the lesser of two evils.

All artists hate their work at some point I guess. I know I get frustrated with mine all the time.

you're one of the lucky ones. I trick myself into thinking this time it will be awesome and then a few days later I hate it. I have my ups and downs.

It's not as tragic as it sounds though.

Gosh, I'm being awfully melodramatic tonight.

-fangirl squeal-

I don't care WHAT you think about it- it's effing AMAZING. <3 <3 <3

SQUEE! Hikari! Why aren't you on the IM? Is it still not working?

And thank you! I worked hard on coloring it - and had fun with lighting effects. ^ ^

Oh no, IM is working- it's just I'm not on. (Like today, i was at work. Therefore unable to be on computer. XD)

I liked this picture even when it was a pencil drawing.

Aw, thank you! ^ ^ It gives me confidence in my art - though it still frustrates me at times...
