5 Years of Growth – Was It Worth It?

Self-Interview with the Creator of the Demonic Nun

Why did you decide to redraw this piece?

I’ve always been drawn to the idea of revisiting my old works from time to time. Not just to see how much I’ve improved technically, but also to understand how I perceive the same character or concept years later. A drawing isn’t just a reflection of my technical skills; it also captures my mindset and emotions at the time. This nun was a defining piece of mine five years ago—dark, mysterious, and enigmatic. And now, I felt the urge to revive her with a fresh perspective.

What has changed between the two drawings?

Almost everything. The first version already had the atmosphere I love in my work—a kind of unsettling elegance, a world balancing on the edge of horror and aesthetics. But looking at the new version, I can see how much more intentional I’ve become with light and shadow, facial expressions, and texture details. The second drawing is deeper, richer in details, and far more three-dimensional. My anatomical accuracy has also improved, which is crucial to me because I like to start from the natural forms of the human body before adding my own demonic twist.

The difference between 2025 and 2020

What did you learn from redrawing this piece?

That growth happens in silence. When you draw every day, you often don’t even notice how much you’ve improved. Sometimes, it’s just a small detail—a shading technique that’s more precise now, a line that flows more naturally on the paper. But when you recreate an old drawing years later, that’s when you truly see the difference. And that’s a powerful confirmation that the time, energy, and passion you invest in your art never go to waste.

How would you describe your style?

I’ve always been drawn to darker, more mystical worlds, but not because of traditional horror or gore. What intrigues me is the subtle tension—a gaze, a gesture, or an atmospheric contrast that evokes unease. I love when a piece is both beautiful and unsettling. When there’s something unnatural about it, something that disrupts perfect harmony—a tiny detail that makes the viewer question what they’re seeing.

My use of light and shadow reflects this as well. I don’t like flat compositions; instead, I work with dramatic contrasts to make my characters feel truly alive on the paper. Over the years, I’ve learned how to use subtle tonal shifts to add depth to a face or a movement, and this has become one of my greatest storytelling tools.

And since we’re talking about growth… do you have other artworks worth checking out?

Oh, absolutely! If you like this demonic atmosphere, take a look at my other creations. My drawings always carry a story, a fragment of the world I’m continuously building. Who knows, maybe your next favorite character is waiting for you there…
