a quick (not really aha) 2019 summary of art (i chose two for some cause i couldn’t pick a fav askdjkalsj)this is MESSY dkjsghjkdghi didn’t draw a lot of finished pieces during the beginning of the year, and i flat out did not draw for two months. when i did get some stuff done, afterwards felt like i didn’t have any energy for the whole month other than some sketches. a lot of these are like, the only finished piece i found in my folders…still, there is some positives this year. my favorite pieces for april, june, and july pioneered my art style. this wasn’t my first time doing super neat line art that also act as shading, but making them were very fun and satisfying. however, i would eventually come back to doubting my skills, become too nitpicky with their flaws, and i was still too tired to make any more. another big problem was that i get too easily distracted while i took my breaks. breaks just meant the end of the piece since i got too discouraged to finish it :// i think i painted more this year? and i actually had fun with it? whoo! though, i don’t think the painting style is going to be my art style, but it’s always nice to try it. my respects goes to all of y’all who has a painting art style, it’s so pretty but i find it so hard to make it ajdhfshso yea, basically my procrastination, laziness, and art block kicked my ass this year. until rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles kicked their asses in december.i have always loved how lively and dynamic, drawings and animation can get. i have always strived to have an art style like that. there are plenty of media i have seen that are like this, but rottmnt was the tipping point for me.i have always liked my sketches over my line art because it achieves that dynamic look i want, but for some reason my line art doesn’t capture that. it’s another reason why i can’t bring myself to make finished pieces, causes they’re all sketches instead. so, for the first time i drew all of the teetlez, i took a new aproach to drawing line art. i drew the sketch like i usually did, and then erased the lines i didn’t need. the process took longer, but this just. Hit Different. i had way more fun than before and i end up feeling way more satisfied afterwards. i ended up drawing more finished pieces with this process. i felt like i was really improving my art.afterwards, i decided to the beginning of decade vs end of decade trend that i saw going around on twitter. the oldest drawing i found was when i was in fifth grade and i decided to redraw it. it turned into a complete reimagining and throughout the process, i felt surprised and… regretful. 5th grade me never imagined that i would get this far. fuck, 2018 me never thought i would grasp perspective and backgrounds. but here i was. then, i wondered what would have happened to my art if i drew everyday. if i followed through with helpful art advice earlier or noticed mistakes so i could fix it the next time earlier. imagine how much better i would have been today. ngl i wanna slap past me soooo much for being lazy.it is what it is though. i can only try to be better next year. Less procrastinating, laziness, and self-doubt. i don’t want to make future me feel like she should slap current me for repeating the same mistakes.here’s to 2020 y’all, lets flourish and be a better version of ourselves -- source link
