Before everyone loses their minds about me having depression or this being a vent, it actually started as just a doodle and sorta went its own way. I didnt intend it to come out as depressing originally but i did learn a lot about mood and tone of art instead of my usual happier tone of art.

I guess she's drowning or something? Idk. Its up to interpretation.

Im actually proud of this. While drawing it i learned a lot about lighting and shading. Plus i feel like i managed to actually make it look like it was underwater by darkening the clothing and desaturating the colors of her fur to better match the background color palette.

I managed to make the lighting look like it was coming from one point by having darker shading colors in larger blockier areas and the lighting a more opaque color. I also cut off the light beams in the background to make it look like crystel was casting a shadow from the light.

Theres also a few subtle gradients in the lineart and color but theyre harder to see. They just make up a little effect of lighting and color palette.

Yep. Not much else to say, but im proud of this and i kinda like drawing something different, something that isnt just bright pastel and happy or just edgy. I like to draw different things since it helps me improve my art as a whole.

I have nothing else to say lol

See yall
