The video is part of a series called "Fixing My Old Artwork" where the artist takes an old drawing from their childhood and recreates it with their current skills. The artist is 27 years old and revisiting a drawing from their preschool days, around 1994-1998. They chose a drawing of a hedgehog with a unique color scheme and composition. The artist discusses their process of recreating the drawing, including sketching, outlining, and coloring, and notes the challenges of working with the original color scheme. They also mention their tendency to rush through outlining and their desire to preserve the essence of the original drawing. The final result is a recreated version of the hedgehog drawing, with the artist acknowledging its flaws but considering it a decent effort.
