Having a hamster as a pet is a lot of fun, they are so cute and funny, there is nothing more
funny than seeing them eat and fill their mouths with everything they get, they are little
gluttons. You can watch the video to enjoy the details here at this link.

hahaha, well letās say almost 4 hours, thanks for the appreciation, only I already have a lot of practice drawing animals and portraits that is my job and I already have the technique to do it quickly.
XD I see. And this is why we shouldnāt compare ourselves to other artists as artists. Just be okay with your current drawing ability, believe youāll someday improve and practice. And practice because of your love for it, not because you want to measure up or compete because competition opens up another can of worms. Why? Because Competition and Comparison are siblings. They destroy you from the inside.
Comparison is an injustice to yourself. What if I sat around thinking: āOh, I wish I was that good!ā Or āIāll never be this good!ā While being completely unaware that youāre a professional and should therefore be practicing your craft constantly. And by virtue of practicing constantly, no doubt youāre gonna be good!
I often see myself and other artists, (I think most are hobbyists) compare themselves to professionals and thatās crazy! I mean, why would you kill yourself like that? I can speak for me when I say that I donāt have even half the practice or experience they do so it makes absolutely no sense to sit around and mope about how much I suck. You get me? And itās something I believe other artists do and it must stop.
Man, XD I practically preached on your comments. Iām not sorry XD this is something Iāve wanted to say for quite some time. I hope you donāt mind.
You do not bother me at all, it is good that you show your way of thinking, I agree not to compare with other artists, but I agree to learn and imitate the work of other artists, I do and practice this and I can testify that it is a good Practice to develop myself more as artists, of course, the goal is not to look like another artist but to learn from his experience and add him to my art style.
I understand what youāre saying. The important thing through is that while youāre doing all that, love what youāre doing. Do it from passion, not competition or comparison. I think doing it for the love feels better than when youāre doing it out of hate. And in the long run, you can compete and compare all you want but itās passion that gets you on your feet after every knock down. Itās the love that keeps you going when nothing makes sense anymore.
I like your painting. I am a beginner (with everything i.e. Krita, drawing, graphic tablet) and I would like to know what kind of brushes you used to draw this ?
Thanks in advance.
check kritaās youtube channel and download all the Ramon Miranda brushes, those are the ones I use, but as for this illustration, I started with soft brushes and then use a textured brush for the hamsterās hairs and voila.
