@amazinwaffleboy It really depends but it's usually just letting my curiosity guide me. Whenever I stumble across a potentially neat dataset or topic I'll bookmark it for later. Sometimes it leads to its own thing, or comes in handy for some other topic/project. Lots of time combing the internet!

@Motsan6 Thanks. I used data of ice extent over time as guides, and drew each frame by hand on a tablet, specifically an iPad with Procreate.
