(dw pearl im working on our trade!!)

i don't think i like this:

don't get me wrong, i love the art and im super surprised it turned out this good! buuuuut, i don't think it's me. see i started trying to go more realistic because my friend has a realistic art style. not that they looked down on mine, but uh, i felt like they didn't appreciate it as much as mine just because it wasn't detailed. so i started struggling with my style again and she told me i should make my style less cartoon-y. it turned out alright, but once again, i don't think it's me.
i think that her style works for her because she's not trying to impress anyone with it. which is what im going to do. im going to try and finally find a style that doesn't take me days to do and im going to stick with it.
so yeah.
