@@paulzana Not quite sure what you mean by "thin design".😲 I just sketch out ideas in pencil or natural media of various kinds, then scan them into my computer and work the ideas up into finished artwork using either Freehand or Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop depending on the effect I want. I have twitter account which has a lot of examples of my work. More recently I have been exploring 3D artwork and rendering using the free 3D application called Blender.😊 Anyway I appreciate your reply and I'll keep watching your brilliant videos here on KZread. I'm also experimenting with animation. Can see some examples on my KZread channel. Cheers for now.😊
