April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberVery happy to see more from you! I quite like your lines, I don't think you need to tweak it. Been doing well? This guy is certainly a delight

MemberWell I’m not necessarily planning on completely changing my art style, just part of my goal (and once I achieve it will probably stop uploading on here) is to be able to draw fairly professional digital drawings consistently, and something I like about a lot of other artists on here is how they use their line work. I see either soft sketch-like line work, thin line work, or even minimal line work with reliance on color fill and shading. I usually work with a strict outline and fill in the color onto it, resulting in a vector or cell shaded style. And while I don’t hate it, and think it looks quite good and crisp when executed correctly, I do want to be able to do more complicated techniques.

MemberNothing wrong with experimenting on other techniques! Just don't go crazy thinking you need to vastly improve or reinvent it when your current followers like your art for a reason~
I'm excited to see what else you'll make and try out
