One of my biggest flaws in my drawings is shading and backgrounds. I was wondering if any of you guys have some recommendations, tutorials, or just advice I can go about improving this. Of course, practice makes perfect!

So ya girl got 3 "jobs" now lol

That's if you're counting my art as a separate job too (which technically it would be but I don't make nearly enough money so be able to rely on commissions as my main source of income). I am currently working at the shelter as a Customer service rep part time and volunteering at an animal clinic part time to help me with school. I was working full time at the shelter at first so paying for bills and utilities was no issue at all. 

Now I'm SUPER tight with cash, especially now that my paycheques being ultimately be cut in half now. I'm hoping I can plow through some older commissions so I can take more. 

I'm planning on going back to university in the Fall time which is gonna cost me a shit ton of money, as well as pretty much ALL the money I make from now on this year will be going towards buying (or at least leasing) a new car so I can actually get around on my own without having to hog my parents' or my bf's vehicles all the time xD

I hope you guys are doing dandy, have a great day!

All my twitter peeps! I made an account that you can actively check on my profile page here on DA!
If you have an account yourself, feel free to add me on there @ceraphik! <3

Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone who is currently waiting for a commission that I am waiting for my new tablet to come in! I want to finish all of them with my new tablet! I'm so stoked for it, I really think it will encourage me to draw ALOT more xD

Thanks for your patience!

Sorry I was a day late xD
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate).

**I wanted to know, what did everyone get for Christmas? I WANT YOU GUYS TO BRAG. lol.**

-Got some lovely scented body products from other members of my bf's family
-My bf got me 2 hilarious shirts with pugs on them (he knows how much I obsess over pugs xD), a few undergarments from Victoria Secret, and some wonderful cleanser from Lush.
-My parents got me tons of clothes while they were gone in NewZealand over the holidays 

and the most exciting gift.....
