It's that time again, already.

It seems like I do less & less every year somehow in my gallery but at times I feel like I'm working hard as ever.
I'm not sure what to think of this year. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. It was a difficult year for me because of things that happened, from rashes to heart issues.

There's 6 graphite pieces, 2 paintings, 2 prismacolor colored pencil drawings, 1 watercolor pencil and 1 digital.

And somehow I still feel like I need to do more graphite.


Anyway


January: [link]

I didn't have much for January, but this obviously stood out. A contest prize I made for someone who placed in a contest at my group.
I can see a lot of things I would change about it now, obviously, but it's not too bad.



February: [link]

I practiced a bit in February and tried some different things. But this one stood out as well. This one was a gift for my friend *MegamiMizuL for her birthday. Dolphins are very special to her and I practiced a good bit with them before making this.
My only regret is not having the time to add an in-depth background. They could use a bit more shading too. Otherwise I think they still look pretty good. :)



March: [link]

This is that small hummingbird painting. I don't have much to say about this one.



April: [link]

This is another contest prize for someone who won my contest. I had to practice anatomy quite a bit and still didn't get it right. You may also notice the upload date, but I spent the majority of time working on it in April and didn't get it uploaded til then. Deal.



May: [link]

I wanted to pick Split Mushroom but this was too good to pass up. Made it for my Mom for Mother's Day.


June: [link]

This was during the period when I was uploading cached stuff. It may seem like an unusual choice, but I really like this.



July: [link]

I had to pick something for this month so I picked this one. =\



August: [link]

I had a lot to upload this month, but how could I NOT pick Ace, my friend's birthday gift.



September: [link]

I could've picked my Grandma's Owl, but I really like the Chickadee. It has a nice compsition and it's original.



October: [link]

A gift art/commission for one of my friends in return for a lot of cards. The heart of the cards will set us free.



November: [link]

The art speaks for itself on this one.



December: [link]

I wanted to pick Galvantula, but that's a start of a new beginning, so I went with this one for sentimental reasons.



This was another year I wasn't satisfied with. It's like I did so little. I didn't have much to choose from for this that I would consider my best. Oh well. Maybe 2013 will finally be my breakout year.

I want to show so much improvement it'll be like it's from someone different each month.

Beautiful! You've definitely improved, but your art was always amazing to begin with! ^_^

Thanks. I've come a long way, I just can't see it for last year though.

I can see from the first month to the last you become much more confident of where you put your lines. You've also grown a lot of skill in the way you blend pencils.

I see that you prefer to draw people/animals/personality over landscape, abstract, etc. And your style is starting to really shine through.

I like this meme, thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to seeing how you develop over 2013!

I'm glad you can see it, cause I can't. xD Oh well!

Sort of. I like landscapes, I just don't do them that often because what I usually create doesn't usually have them in it. I might try some things later this year though.

No problem. :) I've been using this same Meme from the same person for the past few years and I always think about it here and there when a month ends.

Nice, looking forward to seeing more landscapes from you.^^

I like that you've been using it consistently. Really shows how an artist can grow over a year. :)
