3rd Card - Elite Vanguard

This card was really tough. When I was about halfway done I was really happy with it because the colors were matching fairly well and it wasn't too tough. I especially loved that the color was significantly different. The other two cards I did were fairly dark, but this one was much more colorful. Nevertheless, once I was more or less done with the top I wanted to continue with the bottom. That's when I ran into lots of troubles. After I had it all colored I realized that it was going to be impossible to draw the snow with any degree of skill. I'm certainly not an artist, and this card showed me that. I can extend detail a little, but I cannot create new art entirely. Now I know that I should leave the text box and just extend solid colors when I can. Either way, it's not a total loss. This will just be one of those cards I look back on as the folly of a beginner.
