Its really cute! Is it based on anything?

I got a bit of inspiration from Sans from Undertale

i love your work

do you have any tips for a growing artist?

Yes, I do. draw, paint, or make whatever you want. don't let others drag you down because you're doing something you want to do. And, always remember to make what you want to make. Not what other people want you to.

Thank you! That is very wise advice.
