I know I may sound boring by posting another blog about myself but seeing other people posting their art summaries made me want to do the same as way to reflect a bit on my art, and it's been ages since I last did one (I was still on DA when it happened). First I want to give credits to the artist who made this template, their name is glitchednotghosts and here the link to the template which is free to use:

I really liked this geometric shape and the sloped look each slot has; it gives them a very dynamic feel and I like it.

Here I put the works I loved the most during 2024:

I know the Valentine's Day card was drawn at the end of January but I consider it a piece for February. In my FA account it was posted on Valentine's day. It's very rare I say this but looking at this art summary I can say I am "proud" of what I did and what I accomplished in terms of techniques and variety of subjects. Once again I didn't manage to draw a piece for each month because as you can see three months are vacant due to intense study for exams. But I also noticed a pattern starting from July: a more intense artistic productivity, experimental pieces in terms of techniques (lineless subjects or out-of-comfort-zone subjects such as robots) and improved colouring technique.

I can finally say I like my art, after many years of relative tolerance for my works, I am now happy at looking my works. Of course I keep practicing, having fun and experiment so my eyes evolves with time and what I consider cool now it might not be that cool in future since I will acquire new skills. And speaking of skills I want to point out flaws I still need to work on:

• perspective
• colour theory
• geometric shapes
• robots and mechanical parts

For robots, perspective and geometric shapes in general using 2 point perspective is helping me to train my visual memory and wrist coordination. I am still in an embryonic phase but I am gradually seeing some changes in the way I perceive shapes. As for colour theory I will check some art threads (I'm looking at your posts, Skoops) to see if I can find useful resources and I think I will considering that if my art improved a lot was thanks to this website. Another flaw I've encountered when painting colours with "Bristles-3 Large Smooth" and "Bristle-4 Glaze" brushes in Krita is that I tend to give a soft pressure when stroking surfaces, giving a more dull look to the chromatic composition while I should aim at a more vivid one to make colours stand and stay harmoniously. I do this with traditional pieces but there I am learning to be more patient and add layer over layer to make the colour look more vibrant and make it stand on its own.

Why didn't I include backgrounds in my flaws? Because I am starting to love them, the only flaw I can pick up from them is the texture of environment elements (i.e. rocks, grass, wood, etc.). I also want to push further with dynamism in poses.

I don't know what 2025 has in store for me, I just hope it will be dope like 2024. I don't care if I will make fewer or more posts, what matters is that I have fun and learn from my mistakes, critiques, and learn from others. For this year I won't be posting any more draws despite I am creating a new one for the Tankmas experience I had during this month, and I am starting to make sketches for the 6 fanart challenge.

Ok this is the last blog post for this year, let's see in the next one and again serene New Year everyone!
