This year was a bit of a mix bag of various techniques and effects I wanted to experiment with. I would say I'm pretty happy with how my progress evolved this year. I learned a lot about what to push forward with when it comes to backgrounds, shading and even dabbling in a little lineless painting in some areas. I'm looking forward to next year, eagerly wanting to try more new things.

Never stop pushing yourself to learn new ways to do art! Practice and patience really goes a long way!
