This artwork is a redraw of one of my first attempts at digital painting I did back in March of 2010. That was nearly a decade ago. And today, I went back, and re-did her from scratch. This is what a decade of skill and practice looks like. I am finally able to render her as I imagined her back then.
The original image took around 10 hours, and this new one too 8 hours and 43 minutes. I can do far more in less time! of course, for the first one, I was using my finger on a track pad of an HP laptop. Today I use an iPad and Apple Pencil.
Back then, I said I wanted to draw for the rest of my life; well Iβm off to a good start!
I just want to say thank you to everyone thatβs stuck around for as long as you have. You are a big part to why Iβve kept things up for so long. Lets keep going!
