Wow, it's been a while since I've posted art here. Even though I've only been away for a bit over two months so far, it's given me time to relax, get things figured out, and take my mind off drawing for a while, all of which I think helped me regain enough motivation to finish a fully polished piece of art. And even still, while creating this piece, I made sure to take breaks often and not work on it for long periods of time, which I think made the experience much more enjoyable. I'm extremely happy with how the drawing turned out as well; in the future, when I will hopefully have more free time and will be in a better place mentally, I'll have to continue conciously limiting the amount of time I spend on each drawing session and make sure not to rush myself, as I think it's unecessary and leads to both subpar results and a less enjoyable drawing experience. Anyways, all of that to say that I'm really happy with how this drawing turned out overall, although I recognize that some elements probably could've been executed better. The clouds in the far background, for example, are just as detailed as some of the far-off mountains, which makes them stand out and come forward even though they should be the farthest things back in the image. This took me about 30-40 hours over the course of just under 2 weeks, and I used 16 colors. Enjoy :)
