You should make a lineless tutorial! You're absolutely amazing at it <3
I'd love a few pointers if you didn't mind xD I can't do lineless for the life of me ;n; ^^

Thank you! ^^ Actually, this isn't lineless, you can see the lineart if you zoom in :3 But I tend to make very thin and slightly transparent linearts which give the picture a lineless-like look after it's shaded

Oh, okay, cool! I'd love a tutorial, especial a shading one ;] will be on the lookout <3
Any way you could note me if you do make one? xD <3

Yes, of course I will note you if I make one ^^ I'm not sure when I will tough, I've got many things to finish before.

You're very welcome! ^^ Even if I don't make a tutorial I can do a join.me to show you how I shade :3 Maybe it'll be a bit harder to memorize but it's easier for me ^^

Grrr! I wish that wasn't so pricy, I just can't afford it right now. 500 dollars is quite a bit.;o

I didn't pay for it, someone helped me download it for free
I couldn't afford buying it either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is there anyway you could help me with that? ;o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm afraid not, I don't know how to download it :/ Maybe try searching for free download(you can at least get a 30 day trial) or ask someone.

So I was bored and looked through your gallery, and OH MY. You are AMAZING. I actually feel kindof mindblown you want to buy something from ME.
Please let me know if you ever take trades/commissions/requests! Your art is stunning!

Thanks so much!
Well, why wouldn't I? 
Drawing takes me too much time and I'm kinda busy so I don't have time for requests.
I do take comissions tough. They're closed at the moment because I've got a few more to do but after that I'll open a few slots ^^ I'll let you know when I do ^^

How much do you usually charge for them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used to have a pricelist but my premium expired so it's gone now :/
The price depends on how complex it is. A chibi for example costs 80 points while a full picture like this one costs around 500 points.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SO. WORTH. IT. Hahahaa. (: I'll probabley end up commissioning you once you open up again!

I am so jealous of your talent *o* How do you draw so realistically eue
I really love the shading, fur detail, and those eyes uvu
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks ^^
I don't really think I'm talented, that's just a lot of practice, trying out various shading methods, experimenting a lot,... I think you'll be able to draw like this too someday ^^
Well, for shading I use a painterly brush that I downloaded here(the first one, round with hard edges, you only need to turn on shape dynamics and transfer functions before you start using it) : [link]
I color the entire character with one color(blue in this case) on a new layer and set it to multiply. Then I use an eraser with that brush I mentioned before. Firse I make it quite large and lower the opacity to highlight parts that light hits(top of the head, cheeks, legs,...). Then I make it smaller(still low opacity but slightly higher than in previous step) and make fur details(just random lines in the direction in which fur grows). Then I make the brush even smaller, set opacity to 100% and make some thin and more noticeable fur where needed. After that, I make another layer above that one, set it to multiply again and use the same color and brush(only that this time you use brush tool, not eraser) to darken parts that are more in the shadow to make it more 3D looking. If you want even more fur detail, use another layer, set it to overlay and use white color and a thin brush with high opacity to make more bright fur strands. The final step(optional) is to pick a large, soft brush with low opacity, make a new layer above all those you used before and highlight the parts that light hits.
I hope I explained this well, if you have any questions just ask ^^
These tutorials might help too: [link] [link]
And for the eyes, try out these tutorials: [link] [link] [link]
Just mix and match these a bit and find a way of drawing eyes that works the best for you ^^
