Meet Kerby Rosanes and His Insanely Intricate Drawings

Ben Renschen // feb 2, 2016

In Episode 2 of Outside the Lines, meet the Filipino artist behind the "moleskin doodles" that launched him into the viralsphere. Kerby Rosanes, based in Manila, is a young buck with a huge following who uses that stage to encourage others to "Never Quit Drawing". It's his mantra of sorts. And when he's not responding to fans of all ages, he's making his new adult coloring book, Animorphia, available in languages across the world. Get to know the purpose that drives his free form drawing, while seeing a new piece of his, Equilibrium, come to life.

I am thinking about posting & selling art on S6.I just want to verify from artists at S6,do you sometimes have to wait nearly 2 months for S6 to post your profits ?....& if you dont collect your profits within a certain time frame,it goes back to S6 ?....does S6 do automatic direct deposits of your profits to your bank ?
