Edit 9/26: Oh my goodness, a Daily Deviation! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my work and for the lovely comments. This piece was drawn and coloured digitally using my tablet, but my recent pieces are all traditional media.
I wrote some words on this piece here on my blog, with some images of it in progress: [link]
