I started really young and for probably 4 years i did a lot of copying other artworks, i eventually tried to learn anatomy with books and tutorials. What really taught me the most though was the use of references and the amount of speedpaints I consumed!
At first drawing was just a way to indulge in my interests like Zelda and Pokémon and actually, considering the amount of fanarts I still do right now, it still is a huge way for me to connect with what I like!
