attack on titan art for Armin's Bday (Nov 3rd) + getting back into drawing

uhhh its nov 3rd and im studying for my really hard exam on wednesday, but i just wanted to get this out bc its armin arlerts BIRTHDAYYY!!! hes my favorite attack on titan character because hes amazing and wonderful and hes just like me fr and hes pretty.

I recently finished attack on titan and it was peak fiction. i talk about it more on my website but something i didn't mention is how it inspired me to draw for the first time in years.

The last time I drew anything digitally was the summer before I went to college. My skills the past few years have been dwindling and I never got the momentum to start back up because I knew I couldn't reach the skill level I had in college. Attack on Titan was the inspiration I needed to get over my ego and draw for the sake of drawing. I'm still pretty critical about these doodles but it showed me that I can still draw and my hobby is revived!

i hope someone can appreciate these! yes i know these 2 styles look wildy different. i actually hate it. i tried drawing with a textured brush and its just.. not for me. its like its 2 different artists i swear its mine guys i have the files.
