(not a lot of rendering/improvement this month sadly) ✦ MARCH: a birthday drawing! my coloring skills took a leap this month and my style was also closer to the one i currently have :] ✦ APRIL: the owl house finale aired and i was so obsessed over luz's titan form that i HAD to draw it LOL. i was pretty proud of how this came out! ✦ MAY: this was kind of a chill month, but i felt that i got a lot better at rendering and coloring :] ✦ JUNE: this was the month where i mainly drew scenery and backgrounds and i felt that it was really necessary for my growth as an artist! ✦ JULY: artfight! this month was where i felt like i experienced the most growth, as i learned how to draw in a timely manner while still producing art i was proud of :D ✦ AUGUST: i didn't draw much this month due to school starting back up but here's a redraw of my oc in a bee and puppycat scene :] ✦ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER: in these months i was experimenting with a different style that i quite liked! these months were just a lot of redraws of old art/toh frames in my own style (you can see the improvement based on redraws in prev months) ✦ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER: sadly, i didn't draw much these months because i was kind of going through it :( these were just art trades/gifts for friends that i was pretty proud of! i wished i could have gotten more improvement in these months but i felt that i did my best with the mental state i was at haha ✦ RECAP: i didn't go through as much improvement as i did last year, but this year i still feel really proud of my art journey! i got a lot better at backgrounds/scenery, developed a consistent rendering style, and got really good at coloring :] there's always things to improve on, but i feel that this was a good art year !! thank you so much to everyone who made this year possible and here's to an amazing 2024 <3 comment "reputation" if you made it this far!
