Like that fake little stamp of approval says, this has officially been my most unproductive year on dA. For sure statistic wise, and from what I can see I don't think I've improved at all I actually think I regressed.. wait, this is just depressing

I was so unproductive this year I had to use a collaboration for August. It's depressing .__.;

In terms of other things.. Hmm, this was my first year in university so it could be that I was less productive because I was getting into my studies. Midway through the year I had to adapt to using just prismacolor because I was spoiled and used Faber Castell for the first part of the year.

January: New Year! I was really pumped to get stuff done *__*
February: Went back to portraits because I was lazy =u=;;
March: Tried to do more stuff and failed >u>;
April: Went back to portraits.
May: More portraits, oh my :XD:
June: Had a burst of inspiration-- continued to try new things :')
July: This was surprisingly a 'more' productive month o_o
August: Nothing. Literally, just this collaboration :'D
September: More laziness .u.
October: Severe laziness TuT
November: Muziq enters my life and I magically start sketching more.
December: I loved Muziq so much I personified it into "Music". //Idontevenknowwhattosay

It's sad that you didn't push your limits, or were 'lazy' as you call it the past year.
You really have this amazing talent and a barrel full of opportunities and possibilities.
Too bad stuff happened where you got demotivated several times.

This year may have been somewhat unproductive here and there, that means you can only go up from now on.
And luckily for Muziq there, that you get back into the drawing spiral.

I wouldn't say you regressed in talent or drawing wise, but that you lost your spirit of trying new things.
Maybe the fact you saw some unproductive days/weeks behind you, you got even more demotivated to draw stuff?
I don't know.

But keep motivating yourself, okay? You are a real artist, don't forget that.

It was definitely just one of those years where I lost inspiration. I had no drive and no motivation and a lot went on because I was finishing off my senior year before starting my first year of college away from home.. :heart: I also had a room mate that I really, really disliked and that made it far worse.

Yes indeed! I think Muziq just brought back my love for character design which has made me so happy <3 It's been forever since I've actually drawn more than just a portrait. Just looking back at them now makes me sick of them D8

Ah, definitely.. A lot of what I did was very repetitive .__.; And yeah, there was just a lot of stuff going on in my life. Not necessarily bad, but I sort of got lost in the flow of things, I guess :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment, Yara :love: It really means a lot to me! I'll try my best this year to stay inspired and keep on working :heart:

Tbh, I think it's impossible for an artist to regress, because ever single drawing is a step forward in terms of a valuable experience (:
And I do believe you've had your fair share of these, as your art is still as stunning as always :heart:

I don't know if there has been any progress, but definitely not regress!! They are all so beautiful and well done : ) They have a sort of warmth to them, showing they were made with love rather than with skill(and I mean that only in a good way, I'm not saying you don't have skill, I'm just saying there's more love than skill, which makes it much better than if it were done only with skill ;u;) I want to say they're beautiful and great and amazing in a thousand different ways but I can't come up anything else.... But they are so great, you should be proud of yourself!
