Okay, let's do this (Summary of Art 2017)
First I want to just clarify for everyone that my inactivity here has been mainly because I've been really sick for the past month or so, but I'm better now. My body just wasn't ready for the sudden weather change up here. But here goes the annual art thing.
In the art department, 2017 was actually pretty good. It got better. I experimented a lot and tried many things that I previously thought that I just “shouldn’t” because of whatever style I had, but I think this was the year I got out of my art rut, to some degree. Most of those who have been following me for even a month are aware that I’m reeeeally prone to slumps and fatigue and withdraw from drawing a lot when I don’t feel good about it. But I found that happening a lot less this year, and when it did happen, I didn’t beat myself up over it. I just let the art flow this year and while I didn’t produce a ton, I think it was enough for how long I’d been stuck. I also think I’ve just grown a lot skill-wise and have become a hell of a lot more comfortable with my style, I feel like it’s actually going somewhere. I feel some semblance of consistency now!
2017 was tumultuous and angsty, as I’ve already made pretty obvious. I withdrew a lot and was much less social, and put a lot of my friendships on pause completely; in general my social skills just kinda poofed. I fucked up a lot. I don’t wanna do that shit anymore. But I also grew and learned a TON from it all. I grew comfortable and understanding of my queerness, incoming adulthood, relationships, and also my bullshit that I need to work on. I learned a lot about myself and others. I’ve seen a lot of my loved ones grow and become more happy with themselves too, which has just made everything so much more worth it. And like, “worth it” is probably how I’d describe the year, lol. My optimism is kind of my life saver.
Resolutions will be to immediately get back to work on doing art stuff and exploring as much as I can with it, and also going back to being a functional friendly human who talks to people again.
Take a look at this on tumblr too! Happy New Year, everyone!
