>>56350009I wouldn't call it great yet, but thank you!
Looking at my old pics, I started drawing Sylveons December/05/2021 with pretty much no prior experience in art. It took me until August/26/2022 to make picrel, being the first one I remember being "proud" of. So nearly 9 months.
Someone smarter and more dedicated could probably do a lot better in less time. I wasn't very consistent with practicing or learning art fundamentals, I still ain't.
