AWWW well the honest answer that everybody hates to hear is practice! I've been drawing for years and years and years, basically every day to get where I am now. Honestly if you showed this drawing to 12 year old me and said "hey look this is what you're gonna be able to draw eventually" then kid me would probably perish on the spot. Man I remember being an 8 year old artist who's art didn't look good yet. And I remember sitting on the toilet one day crying my eyes out because I just realized that everything around me has shading and I didn't know how to SHADE!!! at all!!! I felt so terrible I didn't know how to make my art look good, none of the art in my head ever came out how I wanted. But you just gotta practice practice practice! everyday! draw whats around you, draw in your spare time, keep a sketchbook with you all the time and draw draw draw!

I have a video that showcases my art journey from when I started doing digital art up until 2015. So this video is now 5 years outdated but still has art from when I was a kid. You can't get good in just one day, it takes a lot of time. It can be frustrating, but its always fun to make something that didn't exist before.

as for painting, there's plenty of tutorials to be found here on DA! There's a lot of different ways to paint digitally, generally I do my paintings all on one merged layer. I don't see any digital art in your gallery, idk if you've ever drawn digitally before. If you really want to pursue art then I recommend purchasing a drawing tablet. You can get a cheap one for around $30 these days. if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask! ^_^

The siamese cat's name is Darktail! a few people including me portray him as a siamese, but canonically he is just a white cat with black markings near his eyes and a black tail. I made him a siamese because i think it's fun!! I love a vision of shadows, the second and third book in this arc is written spectacularly. Shattered sky, which is the scene this picture takes place in, is easily my favourite main series book and i really recommend that arc just for that book as well as the second book, thunder and shadow. Gud shit gud shit if i do say so myself

Sorry for the late reply!
I used clip studio paint to make this, but I'll trt to describe the general idea of the brushes in case you dont have that program. I used three main brushes to make 98% of this and then a few random ones scattered here and there.

The india ink tool which is a default tool gives the dotted, sorta oil painted look when you build it up with multiple strokes, and is used on most of the water and the trees. Its messy and a bit diluted so you have to build it up. Also i used it for blocking in highlights and shadows of the rocks. I used this brush the most across the whole background.

The next is flat oil tool i downloaded and is used for a lot of soft blending, like certain shadows in the cats, parts of the water. Its just a little bit textures and great for doing stuff like making clouds. Its literally just called FLAT OIL!!!!! give or take a few exclamation marks. Basically a square, textured watercolour brush.

The third brush is also a default clip paint brush just called watercolour brush. It's a stringy blending brush that i used to make the bulk of the fur. It is used in short built up strokes to make the fur texture.

I used the smudge tool to get some wispy effects on the flying blood and a few placed in the water.
