Description

BECAUSE. OBLIGATORY BANDWAGON, YES. Plus, I suddenly realized
that I had actually completed the whole "one artwork per month"
thing this year...for the first time. See, I actually don't draw
as much as others, which does sadden me, but ehh.
To each his own, I guess?

SUMMARY BY MONTH:

January - random meh lighting thing?
February - My mind barfed this one =/
March - I thought this was good, but oh gosh, his eye...
April - decided to make a decent background, also, FANART!
May - combined blending tools and freehand shading; I LIKE THE OUTCOME
June - FLY AWAY NOW -- err, was convention art'ing?
July - omfg, something resembling a composition piece!
August - FAVORITE artwork so far for reasons I loved the way it blends
September - COMPOSITION! Also, finally got an Intuos4 this month!
October - I ditched composition. Bad, bad idea.
November - toyed with colors and tried to lay off OCD lineart
December - ...sorry November, still OCD with lineart, but not as much.
Also, by now, I realize how awesome blending tools and freehand
coloring are together! 8D




Long story short...
GOSH, I DUNNO. DID I IMPROVE?
Well, I can say this: THE TABLET HELPED.
No, really, it did, and still does. I seemed
to have owned a broken tablet before
(which is more of my fault due to faulty
handling and tablet care, I guess).
Also, I realized the worth of the flip function
on SAI really, really late. AND I WISH I LEARNED
ABOUT IT SOONER SO I COULD HAVE PREVENTED
THAT AWKWARDLY DRAWN EYE FOR THE GUY
I DREW IN MARCH. GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME...

Here's to the new year, folks!
