corruptio optimi pessima

This isn't a secret, but my first fandom was Yu-Gi-Oh, waaaay back in middle school. Recently I've been revisiting it, and though it's hardly on par with BBC Sherlock, Harry Potter, etc. it's special because it was the first!

I wanted to practice not just drawing, but coloring. I've definitely gotten rusty, haha. I feel like my main hurdle now is in learning to make digital paintings without relying on line art. To that end, after the sketch was done, I painted on top of the lines and tried to minimize use of layers. c:
