Look At What I Drew!!🖌️
The front page is like the complete opposite vibes of the actual drawing lol I think it’s actually more of a dark fantasy story of thing. It’s one of those drawings that I just kind of sketched and added stuff as I went along and it ended up coming out very nice. I titled this one “Tainted”
