Thank you so much for commenting. ;.; I was beginning to think no one cared. x.x Then again, that happens sometimes... I've seen works that go waaaayyy to the bottom of the page before someone comments. Of course, just because someone doesn't comment, doesn't mean that they don't care... it just means that they don't have anything to say. ^^

As for the shading, the pictures are done completely free-handed. ^^ I use either my finger or a smudge, depending on the type of paper and what kind of texture I want to give the piece.

Thank you very much!
