(Cont'd:) The fact that it took me such a long time to continue posting this little retrospective series says enough about how much trouble I have managing a social media presence on top of everything else. :') Regardless here we are. After moving out and starting my environmental science major, I kept drawing, but had less and less time for elaborate digital stuff rather than pencil sketches. This (Rooted in the Sea, a challenge to myself based on a sketch between classes) was done over a year after the previous dragon painting, as a New Year's gift. Even though I still took art supplies with me regularly wherever I went, I really hadn't been prepared for how hard keeping art as a hobby while pursuing a science major would be.
