Thanks ^-^ I do try not to make them too detailed though, since at times one can also overload pictures with details, you know what I mean? It should still have a main motive to look at, and not being too confusing with itsy bitsy details ;P
Aww, no tablet? You could try getting one though, they're fun to draw with. Especially if you look for smaller or used ones, they're not too pricey, at least not more pricey than a 96 set of prismacolor pencils (I think they have Derwents in the UK, right? Those are a little cheaper, so you'd need to imagine a 150-set of them ) X3 You can get a Wacom tablet - which are kind of the best tablets you can get - used for around 28 pounds, at least from what I quickly checked right now.
Hehe, and you're right about the Christmassy note with the snow, I actually thought that too ^-^ Thanks for your comment <3
