I don't quite think this chapter needs a description seeing as it says it all in the title itself. 

Here's a little backstory. Yesterday, since I found time, I decided to draw this picture I had seen in a lyrics video of a French song. The video is above by the way. Originally, I was going to do the whole thing with alcoholic markers. The markers were too bold.

So, I switched to colored pencils. Well, a quarter way through, I realized that I was terrible at using colored pencils and I clearly needed time to hone my skill.

I decided to take a different route with my work and accented some parts of it with silver and gold.

It didn't turn out as well as I'd envisioned...

So, I went over everything with watercolors. Finally, after finishing everything, I took a step back and...

Realized that I completely hated my work.

But you know, that's alright! As an artist, you are allowed to like and dislike your own works. If you find there's something about your work which you don't like, feel free to dislike it. After all, its your work. Even if others tell you that you're too hard on yourself, sometimes, we need our own criticism (as long as it's healthy) to better ourselves.

Though, in my opinion, I completely butchered this work of mine. At least now I know what to do and what not to do with future works. Now I just need to stop being lazy and actually make new stuff.

Now without further ado, allow me to introduce you to this tragedy:

So, there's that! Expect some works related to "Only Murders in the Building" to come out soon!
