Artist Growth (remake of an earlier piece)

it was around three years ago that I decided to take up art as a hobby and honestly that past three years has been truly life changing. I'm the best off mentally i've been in years, I've made some of the best friends a guy could ask for and I've never stopped moving forward.
So in celebration of that I wanted to remake the first piece of art I ever made way back in 2016. It's a bit of a yearly tradition at this point.
Rooster Teeth's RWBY series was the catalyst for my journey into the creative world so going back to draw these characters is always a fun time
