back at it with the braids

this is the first piece i've finished since 2020 or 2019 ish? i honestly don't remember, but i've been teaching for 5 years so it was around the time i started that. i love my job but i miss drawing, although the motivation was just not there for a while til it hit last week. i tried a new method with this one where i rendered (is that the right word?) in black and white before adding color with a clipping layer.
