1. Introduction: I chose to draw something simple, but very personal: my OC Mamoriko Satori next to the famous XP-Pen phoenix. I've never entered a contest like this and I don't consider myself an amazing artist, but I wanted to show something that was truly mine. 2. Creative process: I mixed cartoon with a stylized chibi style, I did my best! 3. About my character: Mamoriko is from my manga project. He has a calm demeanor on the outside, but on the inside he is full of emotions. She is reflective, sensitive and reserved, but with a unique emotional and spiritual strength. She is an extension of me. Drawing it here was giving voice to my own creative feeling. 4. Challenges: I spent more than 14 days working on this drawing. And each day had its ups and downs: I faced a lack of adequate materials, lack of motivation, insomnia, procrastination and even anxiety attacks. Sometimes it would just crash. I saw amazing art out there and thought: "Even if I think my art is beautiful... what guarantees that I'll win?" It was difficult. And yes, it may seem exaggerated to those who see it from the outside, but those who feel it inside know the weight. For me, bringing this drawing here is a record of effort, learning and feeling. Even with fear and limitations, I didn't stop. I hope that whoever sees this work feels some of the energy I put into it, and that it inspires other artists to keep going, even when it seems difficult. Thank you, XP-Pen, for the opportunity!
