@ Barbieq25: thanks for your kind words
@ Welshblue, Helen and Dug: Thanks for the compliments and yes, I agree with you so i fixed it (i actually made a shadow for the first image but it somehow got lost in the layers hehe)
@ Aislin: Nice to meet you . Yes, i make all my images from scratch.( i do look at pictures or real objects as reference tho, the hand i made by looking at my own hand for example) I like the challenge of solving the problems that come my way. I have learned the most of mistakes i made and then "repairing" them. Paint.net is like a big puzzle for me and i love puzzles
