sounds like a story written by a girl fantasizing about a boy fantasizing about her.
Anyways, the colored paper looks like it works really well for you, I found that it reduces the contrast of black lines and makes the drawing more harmonious, and also creates a mood and reduces the anxiety induced by a white sheet of paper.
That's very meta, but an interesting take :D
Thank you for very good assessment on the coloured paper's effectiveness ! I think you are right. White can be really stark on black.
Also, I love your stuff, why haven't you post more :3 I miss your beautiful arts !!!
