Wow, I forgot how much art I did in the past year! Really proud with how much I've improved and how much I've learned between comic making and art stylization :) Thanks to all who've stuck with me and to the newcomers coming in!

Honorable Mentions

Love these other pieces I did :) some of them are sketches and some of them are complete art works, but they all make me happy I made them. It’s fun just looking back on them all.

Annual art review time babyyyy! This was definitely my best year so far in terms of progress, I made good strides in both variety and also consistency. I can already tell next year is gonna be huge for me and I'm really excited to draw even more 💪

HorizenDreamer’s 2023 Art Summary

I’m not all too sure if I have improved over the course of the year, but I’ve definitely been busy. That’s for sure.

Here’s to 2024, and whatever it brings.

2023

2023 in review, how about that! This is the first year I've consistently gotten art done in a long, long time.

I've been struggling for years now to get back to where I used to be. It's been roughly seven years since I've been able to do art consistently, never mind actually enjoying it. I've been working for a long time to try and recover what I used to have and I think I can finally say I'm making it there.

I almost wish I could say something more articulate about it all, but all I can really say is thank you for everyone who waited for me to catch back up. Thank you to the Mother series and community for helping me take the final steps out of my grief and for reminding me that I do love making art. Thank you Hollow Knight community for pulling me into your fold and reminding me that I still have new joys I can feel.

I have a lot I want to do in the next year, and I hope you'll all come along for the ride!

robert motherwell - pure painting

so back in december last year, while visiting my friend in vienna, austria (obviously), i noticed a poster for the robert motherwell exhibition “pure painting” from a moving tram, managed to make out where it took place, and went the next day. i was welcomed by a building that i mistook for a bank (though later i found out that the gallery actually is sponsored by a bank, go figure), but then when we went inside, i was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. the spaciousness of the gallery allowed one to view such large canvases from a far enough distance and added perspective to the exhibition.

its a good job i saw the poster though, the post-war painter hadn’t had a major exhibition since 1977 and now i had the opportunity to see the art of a defining character in the history of abstract expressionism. the last image in my post is archetypal for motherwell, whose work is easily recognizable by the large black blotches, lines, shapes and spots, key elements of gestural painting that motherwell used to mold and help define the format back in the 40s. living in new york, he was part of the group around peggy guggenheim that formed the authentically american art-style, of course influenced by european surrealists <3

im kidding, i love me some action painting

if i had to use one word to describe the exhibition, it’d be ‘impressive’. i was genuinely surprised by the monumentality and power that the works radiated. like i mentioned, the space of the gallery was huge, which only helped enhance the impact of the large pieces. i learned that in the case of some of the paintings, motherwell would actually go back and add more black paint after they’ve been exhibited, adding meaning, narrative and dynamicity to his work

the spanish civil war is one of the main motifs repeated in the work and it is most present in his series ‘an elegy to the spanish republic’, which contains some of his most iconic paintings, those big canvases slathered with muted colors contrasting with large black areas of geometric and abstract shapes combined in a (then) unique way that makes the atmosphere of the work and gives it the ability to evoke feeling

2023 art review

L, I forgot to post this months agooooo but here are some of my favorite things I drew last year!!

Last year was both when I picked up digital art again after many years AND when I first joined the DCA fandom. I really like how much progress I've made! I hope to practice a lot this year and work on building a portfolio!!!

2023 art summary

Another year of drawing under the belt! And a full year of properly drawing humans and D&D stuffs. The progress is certainly nice to see through the year and compared to last

Also ended up being mostly Quentin and I probably could have picked one for every month if I wanted to. But I did give some other boys attention so I guess they should show up too.

Here's to another year of it oh boy
