If you ever decide to do an entire project in one day, you’re in for a ride. That’s what I learned when I decided that I had enough time in one day to finish my entire individual project. Of course, I think it turned out well, and I spent about 4-5 hours of that day on the art aspect alone, but I feel like there were some things that could have been improved.
