This was the first piece of fanart I made, and it taught me the most! To begin with, I did not know what medium I wanted to draw this piece in, so went through a long and sometimes-frustrating experimentation phase, jumping from a digital sketch, to colouring it with watercolours, to using textured brushes on Procreate, to using the live watercolour brushes in Adobe Fresco, and finally settling on a flatter, block-coloured style back in Procreate. It took many months, but I finally created a version of the piece I was proud of, having learned a lot along the way. This was the pivital point in my digital art development - all the pieces that came after this (shown above) built upon this style! This journey was also a good lesson for me, showing me that I shouldn't abandon a piece if it goes badly during the first try. Experimenting again and again will eventually get me a result I am proud of.
