Starting fresh
9 years ago
General
Welp. 2016 is over. Lots of up and downs this year. And I'm glad to be done with it already, so time to move on to 2017
All I can really say about 2016, art wise, is I'm very dissatisfied with my productivity. The beginning of the year started nice, was drawing a decent amount. Then. Slowly it got worse and worse. I barely got anything done.Which brings me to an other point I want to make.
I feel lost with my art.
I don't like my art style, I have 4 art accounts and barely post anything on them, I start projects then abandon them, I have countless unfinished works, I hate most of my art I have put out, I don't know what I'm drawing half the time and the stuff I end up drawing it so random, I have tons of characters I wish I could draw but never do because I get caught up in other projects, and the list goes on.
If I was to meet my past self I know without a doubt they'd be disappointment in me, in the fact I've done so little to improve myself.
Sooooo for 2017 I think I'm going to start fresh. Start over. Go back to the basics. Reteach myself how to draw. Draw things I've never have, study the things I need to improve on, find a style I actually like, give my characters the attention they deserve.
Will I actually do those things? I don't know. But I can still try.
All I know, is I want to be proud of what I create. Because right now I'm not, nor was I ever.

Do what you need to do to get the result you want. I can see real talent from you, but if the current state of things isn't making you happy, by all means do what will change that for you. It's a new year, a new chance. Go show the world what you've got!

You're being too critical on yourself.. Your art style is gorgeous.
