Ahhhhhhhhhh gosh, thank you so much!! I've been trying something really different with the colouring so it's really cool to hear it's working!! *u*

What exactly are you doing differently?

I mean, I can tell things are different but I can't really say how.

The colours in these last two pages have been picked by hand!

I don't know how much digital colouring you do, so I apologise if this is overexplaining, but!! In previous pages, it's basically been like.... normally, if I'm colouring a red apple, I'll colour it red, and then have a layer under everything to create the lighting of the scene that shifts that colour (since it might not look Bright Red in some lighting), and then make a shading/multiply layer and use, like, blue or something to colour on that layer, which will make a darker, bluish shadow on the apple.

In these pages, I've been trying to figure out those colours directly instead -- picking out the shade of red that the apple would be in this lighting, and then picking out or mixing the shade of purple that a blue shadow would create. It's a lot harder for me, since colour is something I've always found difficult, but it kinda gives you a lot more precision so I'm trying it out!! I might have to go back and forth while I'm getting the hang of it, but I'm really thrilled folks have been liking the pages so far!! *u*
