This is my first attempt at a digital painting since... this, I guess. (I thought it was earlier, but it appears that a recent redraw of mine counts.)
It's also my first attempt at digitally painting a human character.
I drafted the outlines on MS PowerPoint, and then did the rest over Autodesk Sketchbook over the course of three hours.

Nonetheless, I am very proud of this one.

This will serve as my user icon / background over Advent and Christmastide.
The outlines:
