20250101 - happy new year! i got a hobonichi for 2025 so i'm trying out sharing my journaling, at least for a bit. it's nice having access to a scanner when i visit my parents since i don't have one at my apartment.

I think this is the first time I've drawn enough to make one of these with more than just sketches. here's to a 2025 full of learning and growing as an artist

highlights from 2024:

tried out blender

took an art fundamentals class

started doing more studies

goals for 2025:

start to form my own voice, away from fan art

work more with traditional mediums

make more, in general

my first gouache study on 2024.12.25 and my second gouache study on 2024.12.28. still wrangling with the medium since i'm only (vaguely) familiar with acrylic painting, but watching angela sung's video on painting citrus fruits was incredibly helpful

2024.12.01 (happy december!) and 2024.11.30 carlos sketch today vs. first time yesterday. think it looks more like him... going slower helped

2024.11.28 working on feeling more comfortable posting things i'm whatever about

2024.11.23 very out of practice but i really like @wr0wn's design so much. hopefully i'll find the willpower to study this more so i can draw fanart of it
