I originally used copic markers as a medium for this, but this was before I realized that digital art is actually much more better of a medium for me than any traditional medium.This was supposed to be a drawing of a new OC called "The Librarian". I knew that I wanted some details surrounding the character, but I mostly did it to make it look more detailed in the artwork so all the elements surrounding the piece feel like things that are just placed there.
Another part was the shading. I had little knowledge on how clothing folds work as well as where light should bounce off. I mostly used darker shades on sides, hoping it would create shadows even though I had no idea where my light source would be coming from.
One final part that needed improvement was the composition and layout of the piece. Although the Librarian was able to stand out a bit due to color contrasting, I still had a bit of a hard time trying to find the center of the piece right away. This could mostly likely be fixed using lighting and shadows on what subjects are most important

Now for this new piece, I wanted it to be a scene like from out of a story rather than just a character meaninglessly standing there. I had to think more about the details of the piece, like what kind of setting does the Librarian belong in? What mood does it set off? Is it a friendly or hostile environment? These were things I had to think about closely in order to convey my scene more.
There also was a huge change in the design of the Librarian themselves, as I didn't think having a cat design would have any significance, but having a dark creature that is unknown makes it more dark and mysterious.
I decided to go with an omnious, dark theme with some mystical tones for the library they were in. Using the design of the single eye for the Librarian, I thought of making it the central focus, with it glowing and staring menacingly throughout the dark library. I'm hoping I could focus on making more drawings in the future where I try to create art that is more of a meaningful scene rather than just some things thrown together
