Description 2014 was a really bad year for me art wise, one after another something would go wrong in the year that would prevent me from doing art. orz So here's everything I've amassed from 2014 that was usable in this sketch dump. I'm determined to be far more productive this year!

Everything presented belongs to me besides two doodles of Peacock, Kiire 's lioden lion, and a stylized Zira. :V

Love all those angry characters, especially that lioness- who I believe is Zira!Β

Thanks Chelsea! Angry expressions are my favorite to draw since there's so much exaggeration you can do with the face. x) And yep that's Zira!

Ooh, I'd love to see some of your sketch dumps! I need to be sure to pull more together. xD There's so many things I never finish..
Thank you so much! <3 I'm excited to start uploading my new designs this year. ;v; So I hope others like them as well!

I am happy that you are interested in seeing them. ;u; Same here, I got so many things that I don't finish either, but I think that's what a sketchbook is about. It's a work book to figure things out and make mistakes in private, lol.

Just drawing a lot and practicing is a way for me to learn, really the only way to learn is to make tons of mistakes. xP Having fun and enjoying it is important too though. I get so caught up in anatomy and everything else. I think it's also important to tell a story, and make it interesting, just something I learned from my art lessons.

Next time I come to Colorado, we should both get the same sketchbook and just draw together. I miss those times when we used to go to the Aquarium and draw. ;u; Fun times. Welcomes. ;u; That's awesome. And me too. I got some designs I want to upload as well, probablyΒ  will be uploaded on my other dA account.

Same. D: I get so caught up in the little pieces of my work that I never fully finish anything. That's what I've been trying really hard to stop doing and to just take it as I go along.

We should! It's so fun to draw at the Aquarium. Or the zoo! I would love to hang out with you again here sometime! <3

Indeed. Some pieces aren't meant to be finished. Studying and sketching are ways to learn. I learned something lately... If art doesn't come from a place of joy and I am working really hard on a piece, No one really seems to notice.

Β But if I am enjoying what I am doing people seem to notice more. Also I draw from reference, then put the reference away after I gained enough knowledge and try to draw from memory. Both memory and imagination are really important. Can't have one without the other. I feel like last year I improved more than I ever did.

Studying and drawing a lot, also failing a lot and just being afraid to fail is all part of the process of being an artist. If I am not afraid I feel like I should be worried cause there is no risk involved and I am not really learning or trying. It's normal to be nervous. Don't know if you knew this already, you probably do, just thought I'll share what i been learning.

That would be great. ;u; I miss you a lot,lol.

Mage is a sore, sore loser, I swear. Can't let anybody else win once to break that winning streak. ;> (I'm p sure you drew 15% of my wives on this one picture. wtf. -scoops up the sirens, mage and peacock and runs away-)

These all look great, bab! <3 Thank you for the awesome little doodle of Kyori, eeee. ;v; These really show how you've improved over the course of the year!Β
