Like many artists, I've loved drawing since childhood. With the advent of graphic tablets and software, I've been drawing digitally more often. The theme of this contest inspired me to depict the growth and evolution of my digital art journey year after year with XP-PEN. Before 2016, I was drawing on a regular tablet not designed for art, using my finger, which was quite challenging. Then I got my first graphic tablet- the XP-PEN Star 03. Until 2019, I experimented a lot, learned, made mistakes, and was on a quest to find myself and my creativity. In 2020, I started learning harder and tried a new drawing style. In 2021, I upgraded my graphic tablet to the XP-PEN Deco 01 V2 and continued to search for my artistic path. And now, in 2023, I see that I'm still growing and evolving. Surprisingly, I hadn't realized how much my drawing skills had improved until this moment. Thank you XP PEN for letting me notice it 😃 My character, a fox girl, is inspired by XP-PEN's mascot. Happy 18th Anniversary XP PEN! 🎂 I wish all of us to keep up the good work, to grow and evolve.
