This is round two of @ravenpuff08’s art contest! I’m so happy I made it through to the second round, and I’ve been loving all of these prompts so far! :D ⟶ Press space to see a closeup of the character (who is supposed to represent me!) ⟶ A bit about this piece (artist’s statement): I don’t view aspirations as a single thing, nor do I view them as having a definitive end. I view them more as a staircase to climb, one that continues to carry you further up. Here I drew that spiralling staircase surrounded by some of my goals, which include: becoming better at painting, being a better cook, learning Danish Sign Language, using my website more, graduating, going zero-waste, becoming better at cooking, travelling, becoming fluent in other languages*, and getting a book sold.** The goals of mine that are for slightly later/will take longer are further up, while the more immediate ones are placed lower. :) * Right now I’m learning Welsh, and ‘rhuglder’ means ‘fluency’ in Welsh — since I’ve just started this language recently, I don’t know it super well and I just used Google Translate, which gives you different translations depending on which language you translate from, so if there’s a better word please do let me know! ** This isn’t all of them, I’m condensing (and using footnotes) to reduce word count haha! If you’d like to know what all of them or certain ones are, feel free to ask! ⟶ I really, really enjoyed making this piece (even though the anatomy is off haha; I tried to redraw it 3 times!) and I hope you’ve enjoyed viewing it! :D ⠀ » — — — — ⠀ ✎⠀art - me, @koi-fiish on IbisPaintX ♬⠀music - Try Everything by Shakira ✧ ⠀code - me, @koi-fiish (the zooming code is inspired by @colorsnatch!) and the particle code is by Rosyda, slightly altered by me! ☁ host -
