Another landscape study. I think this one looks pretty interesting. I miss working with more saturated colors. I've been trying to dial back on them, but honestly the vibrancy I can get with more saturation is more pleasing to my eyes. This one could push more with those colors, but it definitely feels better to work with colors that you aren't supposed to expect. I still am trying to find ways to make the background feel detailed without having to zoom in and place in little marks, but I'm getting somewhere with it. I think the foreground looks the best though. I managed to make that look really good.

Environment studies for the month of April. Didn't draw much else this month, but at least I'm still messing around with backgrounds.

A bigger piece than I expected to make at the end of the month, but I'm proud of it. I feel like I'm getting a bit better with how I do color. Still not fully positive on it, but this piece feels good. Hands are still one of the banes of my existence, but I pushed through. I'll try better on backgrounds one day.

I pushed myself a bit and tried to make more finished landscapes from some stunning references on Pinterest. I've been messing around with my brushes and ended up liking the messy imperfect nature of them on these pieces. I still have much to learn till I end up with a style that I feel confident with, but I enjoy looking back at these, so I consider that a win!

I'm proud of myself. They aren't perfect but I did experiment more than I was anticipating.

Was able to make something for Art Fight this year, though it was only a revenge post. Still, I managed to get something out after not really drawing over the past couple months. Hopefully this will help me get back into drawing more. I have also discovered that I should learn how to draw glasses, so I'll revisit that on a different day. Not sure if they have a tumblr, but this is BeeTheAgender's character over on Art Fight.

This was an interesting drawing. I like the sketch more than I like the color version. However, I need to get back into using color in my pieces anyway, so it's best to start adding color even if I don't like the result. I should really learn more about how to light a piece, maybe that'll be what I study next month. I think the shadows turned out alright, better than some of my other pieces where one part has extreme black shadows and it doesn't exist anywhere else. Hopefully, I can continue and build from here.

I kinda like how this turned out. Gotta work on how to draw shoulders better but there are some good things in this piece. I like the face and the background. I don't really do much to backgrounds so I think this ended up quite nice. I like the color scheme more than I was expecting. I gotta work on hair though, it could look a lot better but it's okay for now.

Here's a 3d character bust I made this month. It's been a while since I've worked with 3d so I'm basically starting from scratch, but honestly I had fun. I think I wanna try and make another character for February. This time I'll plan up a design.

So excited for the show to drop in a few hours! I started this a while ago and decided to finish it today. I love this crew, and hopefully they get more seasons.

First Art Fight of the year. I may be unable to do more this year, but I'm still going to try. This is KeiRUOK's oc, Oni, over on Art Fight! This was fun, the wings took forever but I feel a little more confident about starting them, so hopefully I'll get better at them!

I'm just posting this to log my art. I like to look back at my old work and see what I made in the past. I'm getting to a point where I don't want to look at this piece anymore. But hey, that's to be expected. I always go through this loop with my art. This piece has this chalky, almost pastel, look to it. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I guess future me will decide if I like it. I'm just glad I have a more finished piece in comparison to a lot of the other ones I've done recently.

Here is the last artfight of the year! I only drew a bust this time but I still like how it came out. This is ohsoemo's oc, Mellow, over on artfight!

Here's my second artfight from this year. Hands are bit of a struggle but I think I'm getting better. This is bluechanhs' oc, Ailani Phan, over on Art Fight.

First post on here! Thought I'd start off with a piece I made for art fight, I plan to make more but this is first one that I've made so far. This is keeissoup's oc, Mark, over on artfight!
