hand drawing is good!!! It helps to build up your skills traditionally before jumping to digital!

When you do start digital, it may be a bit of a transition -- but once you get used to it, you will really get in the swing of things!

Although it's a bit expensive, when you switch to digital I highly recommend trying a pen tablet with a display screen (like XP Pen - some good options but you do need to be connected to computer or laptop), 

Or a Samsung tablet (or an iPad if you can afford it -- iPad is too expensive for my taste -- but I am using the Samsung S9 FE which is $450 USD -- half the iPad price).  The good thing about iPad/Samsung drawing tablets are that they are completely portable, they just need to be charged.

There are some really cheap drawing tablet options with no screen (like $40 USD) but they are really hard to draw with, and it might make you hate drawing drawing digital... T_T

Don't be afraid to try text based stories too though! There was another text based story that was submitted during Yandere Jam with just some pretty cover art (no sprites) and it blew up!!! (The writing was good and juicy of course -- but it shows that you don't need to draw to tell your story! ❤️)

You can definitely take as much time as you need, though! ❤️  There's never a need to rush with doing things you enjoy!

OMG I'm SO SORRY I think I accidentally deleted your reply!!! (I am so sorry 😱😱😱😱😱 I think I might've pressed the "Delete" button by accident and I don't know how to restore it. (If you deleted it, then no worries LOL! But I think it was me LOL.) But I did read your comment!!

Ooooh omg! I had no idea Intertwine was also string/reincarnation themed!!!! Someone else said that it reminded them of it too and but I just looked it up now and WHAT!!! LMAO Bound By Fate is like if Intertwine was a horror game... 💀💀💀 LOL ooohhh I had no idea (I had seen the thumbnail but hadn't ever clicked on it -- I didn't realize that thumbnail was Intertwine! Or that it was the same theme LOL.)

I think your comment mentioned writing a story about Vampires?!?! That sounds super cool!!! Honestly it's been a good decade plus since Twilight was in its heyday so the world is ready for more vampire content!! If you do ever release it, let me know and I'll read/play it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Tablets and drawing stuff can definitely be expensive! But when you're ready to make the move I know you'll make great art! And most importantly enjoy the process ❤️

Sorry about deleting the comment again!!! 😱😱😱 The button is really easy to press on the game page for the game dev/owner and I meant to hit reply instead 💀
