[COLOR="Sienna"]well! i thought the drawing was yours :D from my point of view of using the arrow brushes, i used that brush for the TECHNO type of image subject. I've never used that in an anime. Leaves and the gradient colors you put is ok that makes them pretty cute! but the hard line arrow covering the pleasant leaves falling down is maybe a little of for me. anyway you did a very brave job! nice work! :D[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Sienna"]i have my first OpenCanvas too, i like the tools. i hope you used it frequently. its a nice software! :D[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Sienna"]nice question! As far as i remember ive been influenced by a friend an elementary room mate. It was year 1990 when im into drawing(just a doodle drawing) My first drawing was a bird a pigeon bird that i saw near our church. Everyday after school i'd take a chance to look in that sculputured pigeon, until ive memorized it. That year too when Anime had never been boomed in our local tv channels. That's why you guys are lucky! ^^ to have plenty of anime in your days ^^ My other reference was a book barrowed from our school. Its a fable book were animals are the main characters. I just love spending my time copying what is on the book. ^^ There are many other references but not Manga type.
