I participated in a short-term online class to learn Blender. This piece was created in about 20 hours.
Based on the class, I used only limited features of Blender:
-Blender 4.1 / Eevee
-Topology and vertex count were not prioritized
-Actively used Blender's Grease Pencil and the Deeppaint add-on
-UV unwrapping was not done; vertex painting was mainly used
-Everything was completed entirely within Blender
