2016 in review!

Description

For 2016, I really wanted to focus on backgrounds, and while I didn't really accomplish anything that looked..... good...... I did try! I hope 2017 brings more improvement!

The template used (and slightly edited) was made by oh-no-Castiel !

January ;; I didn't draw much, only like 3 or 4 drawings in the whole month. I took a hiatus for a couple weeks after hammering out a ton of drawings for UglyPonies for the holidays last year. Was really down about my art and was never really motivated.

February ;; Joined Pokemon-ARPG , which helped me get out of my slump and actually enjoy doing art again! It kept me drawing most days! Lots of ref sheets and half-assed backgrounds, but backgrounds nonetheless.

March ;; Still doing rushed UP art that never really looked proper. Lots of ponies, ref sheets, FR, and PARPG, but nothing really spectacular.

April ;; More PARPG. PARPG and UP for the entirety of this month.

May ;; Really got into cryptids this month, started playing with more creative shading and an attempt at lineless. Quickly gave up lineless.

June ;; GAY HORSES. Also a ton of rushed payment art for PARPG. Started playing with painterly / soft shading but everything looks weird and awkward.

July ;; My birth month! Shameless PARPG art all this month.

August ;; Felt bad about so much PARPG art and tried branching out with ideas. Started putting a lot more detail into my art because one time a friend told me my art was undetailed and that's made me feel really shitty about my own art since! Later gave up a lot of detail made with lines and focused more on detail created with shading, for better or worse. Got into Bagbeans briefly. Created my fursona!

September ;; SU SU SU and SP OC's. Joined LIMBO-GEM-CLUB 

October ;; Tried Goretober but quit after the second day, bad PARPG art but also this masterpiece, which was unexpectedly popular. 

November ;; PARPG 24/7, and some SU. Felt really uncomfortable with people because I realized I cannot draw legs, and was too lazy to reference.

December ;; Started really trying to draw more realistic horses, for some reason ?? Really found a good way to shade and have stuck with it. Started drawing NSFW, and that's really liberating!!

Onward to 2017!
