Even though 2015 feels like a very large *flop* in regards to consistent output and production, I can proudly say that I think I have vastly improved my style and techniques since January. I’ve developed my painting and lighting skills, continued to improve my lineart, have created several full pieces (even if my compilation may not show them all), and have gotten a much better grasp on facial anatomy and structure, including the ever-important elf ears!

The next step on my art journey will involve a LOT more anatomy study, particularly for everything -below- the neck. I spend a very large amount of time working on just heads and the upper torso, which is good but can lead to big spiked difference in quality when comparing two halves of a whole body. I will especially have to work on males on all fronts, since I haven’t drawn them very often at all in my life.

I believe my character poses also tend to be very still/stiff and generally uncreative. If you look through my gallery you’ll notice a lot of my recent full pieces have ladies raising their arms into the air, haha. In addition, I think I have a lot of work to do when it comes to creating good, dynamic backgrounds. All these things will likely require a good amount of sketching and studying, and hopefully I’ll be able to accomplish some good progress throughout the next 366 (it’s a leap year!) days.

As I keep working on my art, I also look forward to any new followers I might get on DeviantArt, Tumblr, and possibly even Picarto if I end up making enough money to buy a new computer to replace my current potato. Ultimately, I’ll be happy if I’m able to make myself and others happy with the work that I put up on the internet.

I think 2016 will be an extremely developmental year for me on basically all fronts. I’ll spend more time than ever putting effort towards my art skills, have another whole year to keep improving my quality of life, and to start everything off I will be moving all the way across the country in less than twelve days. I couldn’t be more excited for any of it.

I sincerely hope that you all have had a great year, and if it was a bad year, I hope you are at peace and were able to enjoy the better moments that you experienced. Here is to 2016 - good health and good fortune!
