first year i started drawing consistently with a digital art program (that program being ibis paint! my favorite drawing softwareeeee ). there was some sonic fanart i saw one day that made me want to try and learn the medium. i also had a huge interest in textured brushes because of that same art xd. i experimented with a lot of brushes until i found a style i was satisfied with at the time. a thing i instantly loved about ibis paint was the sheer amount of custom brushes people made and shared for free! many hours went into browsing for various brushes to try out
