Um wow, amazing, work. Do you draw traditionally first and then digitally? How do you achieve that combination of black outline and great colours on photoshop?!

Ah! First of all thank you so much Im flattered! Secondly, no, I dont normally draw traditionally, every so often Ill sketch something while Im in bed but 99% of my art is done 100% digitally. The program I use is Painttool SAI, which has the ability to make really insanely smooth lines! Way smoother than photoshop lines, and without using any special tools. Of course it helps if you use quick strokes and have a steady hand, too. Normally I also use a tablet (which helps a ton as well) but sometimes I still use my optical mouse, which thanks to sai actually produces some pretty clean lineart!

I hope I answered all of your questions, feel free to ask me any more if youre curious!
