Description So, 2020 is... over, and... it feels weird you know?

2020 was rough for most of all, yet I feel is the year where I've improved the most in my drawing skills.

I lost friends, in the way that I lost contact with them, decided to cut them off... and lost them, truly lost them, I, also met people, wonderful people, I kept friendships that I hadn't think would last, yet they did, and I'm glad they did

So, art review of what I was technically going through in the months of our cursed year 2020?

January: Was a good month, wasn't in the best place mentally as I was getting ready to move countries, but I joined a group! And this piece was inspired by a prompt in it, I, really thought I could never top it, and tbh I still have it as my computer bg just because I like the background colors.

February: I think, the thing I learned in this month was to never truly "Settle" for what you feel safe with, to try and experiment with what you do and how you do it, I chose this one because honestly, it's the only one I can truly feel proud of during that month, don't get me wrong, I love some of the art in that month, but... It all felt too, similar? 

March: Now, March was almost the same as February had it not been for this one piece, this, this was the thing that told me "You don't have to settle", I was, dramatic with that lighting, I tried experimenting, things I never did before, while it still carries some of that old art style with thick lines, I still feel proud, and I thank whoever sent that pallette that one time because you are the cause of me trying to experiment with colors, yeah, I think all the drawing is a whole pallette?

April: All the energy in March was supposed to be distributed between it and April, no thoughts in April, and if I did think of something, well fuck me it ain't around anymore.

May:
I have, two pieces in this month that I hold very dearly, this was done before I left the aformentioned group, the other one is a Tarot like card, that I like just because of the textures, but this one, this is, the one piece, I'm never planning to top, I don't know how, I don't know how I got there, and yeah, some of the things are not good, I can see that now, but it is, something that I hold very dearly to my heart that I feel topping it would... not do it justice.

June and July: Okay in June I started watching MHA again so I thought, hey I want to make some fanart, and I did some fanart, and I hate drawing humans, and I don't want to draw humans even if I know I need to-

August: Uhhhh, things were starting to calm down in August for me, and I think my art in that time really reflects that, it has a very, calmness to it? Nothing too fancy, just, vibing.

September: Same with August, though, I started experimenting with layers more, angles and perspectives as well?

October: What. A. Month. October was a fantastic month for me in terms of energy, I took up Goretober! That helped, but I think I'm prouder of this one just because I got the yellowish hue with the glowing feather using multiply and I felt smart

November:
OKAY, I'm, not sure when I drew this piece exactly? BUT, it's probably, the best one in the whole Goretober technically speaking, but day 22 (for the pose and colors) and day 4 (for the lighting) will be my personal favorites, other than that? People seemed to like day 16 and I also like day 16

December: ...It was, the roughest month, and this one? This piece was, my minecraft world believe it or not (that I, sadly lost), I practiced a back ground and it payed off, and I will remember this piece because I learned how to finally make stars right, I drew that little cottage by the cliffside where I met my first pink sheep, where I took three dogs to my name and a pond to grow wheat, I wanted an escape even if for a small moment, because that was the whole year, wanting an escape even for just a moment.

So, my takeaway from 2020 is, look ahead, keep improving, and don't be afraid to say goodbye because it might be the last goodbye you ever share.
