I know it’s just a portrait, but it’s still a pretty important piece for me.
Firstly, because it’s my first ever entry for the ArtFight, and I was hoping to take part in this event for ageeeees.
Secondly - I had a chance to paint this character in the past:

And it’s pretty important for me, because I have a tendency of holding myself to really high standards. Every time I pick up a pencil I want to push myself, I feel like I understand the theory and get incredibly frustrated when I don’t achieve the results I’m looking for. However, looking at these two pieces side by side and seeing the difference that 3 years can do for an art journey it gives me hope and a little sense of pride.
And I’m not even a consistent and prolific artist!

I guess what I’m trying to say is: don’t look at the results you are achieving day to day. It will only be frustrating, it will not give you proper perspective. Fill in an entire sketchbook and only when you fill in the last page go back to the first one and be amazed by the progress. The journey is long, but the progress comes

This piece features the amazing Elsa belonging to Samantha-dragon

Ps. I’m falling in love with Procreate.
