I can't believe you think realism is easier than line work. I mean...well it's not that I don't believe you...I guess I'm just amazed that you find this style easier than doing line work. Because pretty much ALL I do is line work, which is so easy for me, and I look at your drawings and think, "Wow, that looks so hard. I wish I could paint like that." It must just be practice and perspective. What's hard for me is easy for you and vice versa. Or something like that. (I still wish I could paint like you can.)
