Cheers!

Thank you man!

Hello , thanks for the comment. Im self taught so i am not following any "how to" guidelines. The smoke is a bit different because this is how i "invented" drawing smoke :P And i think this is why it blends well with the otherwise "cartoony" style.

As for the canvas size there are two reasons why its small. First , i planned this to be a smaller piece , like an avatar or card design. As you said , time is always pushing and you have to set priorities. Also , and more importantly , i had a conversation with an artist i really admire and we were talking about his use of small canvases. Basically he told me that its fun to highlight a character enough to make him characteristic while also leaving a lot of material to the viewer's imagination. I was really tempted to try my hand on this theory and i think i am pleased :)

Thanks!
