This artwork is a Birthday gift for my friend, Valyn whose Birthday was March 24th.

I would like to get into some backstory. So I hope you don’t mind. Ever since I began doing art as a hobby back in 2016, I tried to stay inside my comfort zone for the most part. I would try to challenge myself very rarely. For example, I always drew girls because Precure, a show with primarily female characters was one of my inspirations that got me into art. So I didn’t try to draw any male characters until 2020. Because a year before that(2019), I created some male characters for my story and I hated the fact that I couldn’t draw any.

As I realized that I love to continue doing art and turn it into a career, I knew I had to challenge myself more to learn the things I refused to and was afraid of. That I had to expand my knowledge for my art to reach its full potential.

And so with this piece, I tried something I’ve never drawn before, buildings…! It definitely took a while and was challenging. But for my first time, I think I did very well!

This isn’t the perfect artwork of course. There are a few things I’m a little bit unhappy with and wish I could’ve changed when I still had the chance. But it’s not too bothersome for me to hate it. I’m still very proud of it! I’m glad I gave drawing buildings a try and I’m willing to do more in the future because I had fun even if they were difficult.
