That's super cool Nick, Intuos tablets are great! Used mine for 3 years until is died a couple months ago. Be careful with the plug, there's a design flaw in the way the cable connects to the tablet, and if you keep it in a position where it pulls on the plug constantly, it will slowly kill the mini usb plug's small connect pins or push the plug inside the tablet making it unusable. 90% of intuos death are caused by a dead plug, that's also how mine died. The intuos is great to paint on the go if you have a laptop but always remember to unplug the cable when you put it in a bag, that's exactly what killed mine and many others :p

I did another one... I think its a lot worse than the other one though...
its just earth...

You see, it's important to value your art, and not tell anyone that you think it's bad. Even if it is actually bad, if you tell them that, they won't value it either, because you dont ;)
I mean your earth has some issue but it's not displeasing to look at, i'd say the shapes and colors are pretty relaxing. But don't post it and say "it's bad though!", I can't make up my own opinion if you do hehe. And if you don't like it well ask yourself why and do a better one :p

sorry if I sound a bit condescending, I can't find another way to say this and I see too often haha.

Oh and try to do your own stuff, i'm pretty hypocritical because my profile pic is mostly a study of the merch's portraits, but in general it's way more gratifying to make your own stuff (that's why I don't like that painting anymore). You'll feel like you actually created something.

And what tumbolisu said, if you're trying to copy vectors graphics why not try to learn vectors tools?

I recognized the style of the picture before I opened the spoiler. I can't subscribe to them because I already have already been subscribed to them for quite a while.

It is pronounced Kerr-guh-zaht.

but then why is there a "z" before the "g" if it is silent??? it makes no sense!!!
I was going from how I remember them pronouncing it, so I could easily remember incorrectly. Maybe it is Kerr-zuh-gaht, instead. You will hear it pronounced sometimes in the videos.
