Just a story that I wanted to share:
I began this artwork on March 20th (starting from scratch). Previously I was sharing some other pieces I had created, then, I received a request from EterNity to create a spring banner for his community. I was so excited to be asked, as I do enjoy contributing to his community with my artwork. At that time Eter also asked me to do more artworks for him (which made me an official digital artist right?), particularly in anime drawing, gosh I ALWAYS WANT TO BE AN ARTIST (he kind of made the dreams come true, kudos to Eter he's always a good friend to me/ditching me for his Lost Ark game).
Upon returning online after a three-year hiatus due to work, I started to stream again and made some new friends, also started to draw vector (again!), although I really really wanted to learn digital painting. While I had prior experience with vector drawing, digital painting was kind of difficult. Despite the initial struggle, my desire to learn drawing anime kept me motivated. Ry also guided me through this transition, he kept giving me motivation, and knowledge in digital drawing.
Although it took me a while to complete this artwork due to occasional slacking off and a summer depression (because it was really hot in Thailand), feeling a bit down and it became so hard to do the artwork. Despite facing some personal stuffs during the process, the sense of accomplishment upon finishing the drawing brought me a lot of happiness. Now, I just want to spend more time drawing.
