Hanako-kun Inspired Digital Art - Artful Gratitude

Inspiration today:

Hanako is an urban legend said to be the spirit of a young girl that haunts school toilets, but as Nene finds out, her academy's Hanako is actually a boy, and he is only one of many spirits inhabiting the place.

I'm participating in the digital art contest hosted by @xpilar after about a month. This marks my fifth time joining this contest arranged by him. The first one ever contest that I participated in, on this platform was also by xpilar—a story inspired by his digital art.

This serves as my gratitude gesture for your support and the lovely remarks at the beginning of this year.

I have mentioned before that these digital arts, taught to me by my very moody teacher (my daughter)—a passed-down trait perhaps 🫣. However, this time, there is another cute teacher involved: one of my daughter's friends. I have gained valuable input from her as well. It's enjoyable to engage with these young teachers and learn from them.
