We've reached the end of the July art challenge once more :D I just wanna start by saying thanks to y'all for the support this past month, as it really does mean a lot to me that people actually look at my dumb lil drawings, so thanks for being around 'n stuff <: I love doing this little challenge every year for a couple of reasons, one of those reasons being that I like having the kind of obligation to draw and post every day since I normally struggle with finding the motivation to draw as frequently as I'd like, and I feel as though this challenge helps with that. I also just love to see the growth from year to year, as well as the change and development. To be honest, I feel like this dumb little challenge I made back in middle school kind of taught me a lil something something, that being that not everything you make is gonna be perfect, let alone even good. In fact, not everything you make even has to be better than the last. Sometimes you can make things just to exist, and sometimes those things you make won't be perfect, or even improvements from the project before. Even with this challenge, there's a lot of art from last year that I still really like, even more so than some of the drawings I've done this year. And that's okay. I had fun making these dumb little drawings, and each one helped me grow in some way, even if it wasn't by much or went unnoticed by myself. Maybe I learned a better technique for shading or applying texture to a piece. Maybe I learned a bit more about anatomy and how to draw certain features in a more accurate sense. Or maybe I just learned that a certain style or thing prevalent in a piece was something I didn't enjoy making or didn't enjoy the outcome of. All these little things I got from each drawing helped with the next, furthering my abilities even by just a little bit. Though I personally believe that I am nowhere near what I think of as a "good artist" yet, I'm hoping with enough practice, trial and error, and simple learning and studying tactics, I'll be able to reach that point someday (: Anyways, sorry this was all real corny and stuff lol. I hope you've enjoyed following me and my dumb lil art journey this past month as much as I enjoyed making all the dumb lil art. Hopefully, I'll still be able to upload regularly here until the next July, but we shall see how that goes haha. Until then, thank y'all again for vibing with me, and I shall see y'all round hopefully not too far off in the future ((: Oh and the big ole reflection thing where I have all the drawings and such from the previous years in one big project will be coming soon, so if you wanna see the big pile of drawings I've done for this challenge, stay tuned for that bad boy :]
