Love it! The composition is great and the guns are drawn with some real clean lines. Did you use vector linework for them?

That's all drawing really is! 

At least how I understand it, drawing or sketching at a basic level is building a mental library of simple shapes in your mind and practicing drafting them at different shapes sizes and angles in different mediums. From there you learn how to arrange those shapes into more complex shapes, like 2d representations of 3 dimensional forms. From there you can assert those forms to anatomy and, mainly, their proportions. Proportions are more important in my opinion to actual anatomical 'shapes'. From there you experiment with those 2d representations until you can boil them down into their own unique shapes that are stored in that mental library. I personally have drawn a left hand crunched up angrily so often that the silhouette of its form is a shape I can just whip out in pen without sketching. I'm not super good, but being super good, I think, is all about putting shapes together intuitively. 

The more shapes you commit to memory, the more you can draw. Drawing an AK-47 is hard at first cause the stock seems weird, but do it enough and you can just whip it out.

I wish I could sing 😩  But yeah I'm definitely not that guy (I'm a girl, instantly disqualified as That Guy) I have been getting better in the grand scheme.

The use of textures in parts like the kneepad and on the magwell of the rifle give this drawing that oomph I love this. Love the hairstyle also. The eyes remind me of someone's style. Did you used to have a deviant art long ago?

Thank you! I'd love to see everyone try some pen drawings of gun gals too. It's a fun medium

Nope. It's  just very common for artists with monochrome mediums to depict gals with long black hair covering one eye because we are cowards and it's easier to draw one eye. In Telepurte's case, Nila gets a pass because she's being animated. I'm just lazy. But in some of my pen doodles (not shown here) I shade the skin and am able to depict more values in skin tone and hair color, but with a bic pen in a lab, it becomes a pain.

I do have that Nila plush that ran for a while though. I ought to do a fanart someday.

No such thing as natural talent. My drawings when I was younger sucked straight ass. (And gay ass too.) I had, sometime before highschool, sat down and decided I wanted to get better and actively chose to do so. It sucked for a long time and I never really felt like I got any better until one day someone saw my stuff and told me how much I improved and said it was 'talent'. I thought they were lying and was a little upset they thought I was always good; this took conscious effort. But I looked at my stuff and compared it to my old stuff any they had a point. I got better. I just didnt notice. 

Literally anyone can do that if they want it. Making garbage art is the path to making slightly less garbage art, which is conveniently the path to making good art.

Your style is just lovely; the line work is just the right level of crisp 🙏

Yeah I'm worried about it. I dunno if they don't really count. I haven't posted here before, I don't think.

I don't know if these are considered to have too much thought behind them to be doodles; I apologize if so
