Thanks for your incredibly insightful tips. Life changed. Upped and resteemed.

But, seriously...

This comment I received is not necessarily spam, but it was a rather strange response to my intro post, which featured no paintings whatsoever:

"This is a very beautiful painting ... it looks real and the coloring technique is very great .. anything you painted really beautiful and great.I hope one day you want to paint my face @thebigdelay"

Maybe one day I will paint their face. Who knows.
