i've been working on an updated ref for one of my characters and it took me much longer than usual, both because i was drawing a dragon for the first time and because i was unwell and could only draw in short periods of like 10-15 minutes once every couple hours. usually i'd be riddled with anxiety that I Need To Post Art and i'd push myself to finish it faster (and it'd probably look like shit as a result), instead i knew that i'm on a break, i'm not rushed to post anything anywhere and i took my time, it took me several days actually. and oh my god did it pay off, i'm so hella pleased with how this turned out
look at her!
