Hellow, fellow artists. I am Ryn, 17 from Canada. Art has been a big part of my life since I was a young lass, but I've been really focusing on improving in the last year or two. Critiques would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to be brutally honest - my only concern is progress. Thanks for looking!
I'll start things off with some older CGs. Haven't been doing much digital stuff these days.
And some sketchbook stuff. These are all done between now and August. I've tried to organize them from oldest to newest.
