2018 was the year I started doing art. Here you can see some of the progress I made through the year. Keep in mind that these were the "best" pieces of art I had at the time... There were much worse artworks than these.Programs: Medibang, Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Photoshop 2017

2019 was probably (as far as I remember) my most active year, art wise. I remember actively studying all sorts of concepts, and being specifically interested in light and color theory. I also started posting my art online at the time (specifically to Amino, that... great place), so I felt some pressure to find a consistent, recognizable artstyle, which actually had the opposite effect on me cause I kept on trying many many artstyles and my art just ended up becoming quite inconsistent. These are, once again, the best pieces I had at that time.Programs: Adobe Photoshop 2018, Clip Studio Paint, Medibang

2020 was the year where I really put some effort on learning about color and light theory, I kept on drawing portraits because that was what was most enjoyable to me... but also, I was just not interested in studying anatomy.

2021 was a... year.
I was burned out the whole year due to university, mental health problems and physical health problems. I was actively forcing myself to get over my fear of drawing full-body characters, all the while taking commissions and just trying to make money off my art since I became the typical "broke college student". It wasn't a very good year for me overall, and it reflected on my art too... Everything became more... dull, apart from a few pieces. I also dwelled into some scenery painting but it just wasn't my thing.Programs: Clip Studio Paint

In 2022 I decided that I was finally going to start studying anatomy, alongside some other art fundamentals I had glossed over or had completely skipped. This was, however, very draining. Together with the problems from the year prior that were still lingering on, the vast majority of my 2022 artworks were unfinished sketches and studies; I had hardly made any finished pieces in that time period. I also stopped taking commissions almost completely, for my own sanity.Programs: Clip Studio Paint

2023 was just 2022 on steroids. Too many studies, hardly any finished stuff. I was studying too much theory but hardly practicing any of it. I got very good at SEEING the mistakes, but my brain wasn't yet used to applying the concepts I learned. The mistakes would jump right at me and bit by bit, I became more and more demotivated. Making art became a constant struggle, it wasn't enjoyable anymore.Programs: Clip Studio Paint

I got chronic wrist pain. Ironically, this has been my most productive year ever so far.Programs: Clip Studio Paint
