Art Summaries 2018

[inkythoughts]

I usually have like 10 images I want to pick for June but none for April/May and September and this time is no different (April was better this year, tho, instead February was difficult to find haha)

2/3 of course my characters and I'm still laughing at the very obvious palette change.

[Jenny-Toons]

Here is my summary! Over all, I think I made some good progress! Style's more or less the same, but I can tell how things slowly shaped up~

[Kann]

I've made my own too. xD

I'm not even surprised that most of this are my characters, but I think I've made some progress.

[gh0stcr33p]

I made 2 of these, one for my art that isn't comic related and one for my actual comic

[SheiDraws]

My year is a mix of webcomics and portraits. I'm happy I was able to do enough art to make one of this!

[spenserw0042]

Definitely struggled to find a balance with my work schedule this year. Some months have SO MUCH ART, and then some had none. But I made some cool stuff! And I definitely think I grew as an artist.

[dawgofdawgness]

an entire year of using a LOT of violet, black and white

[momojiji]

this is the time all year where ive made dedicated time to art and comics. i hope i can keep this up next year.

[beta1042]

I decided to make one too

[zuggarts]

nice

[spenserw0042]

I've definitely been there. Your stuff looks great tho!

[Rhonder]

oooook just finally made mine... right down to the last minute... as usual xD (although tbf the December pic only got completed a few days ago so eh)

A few things that I'm the happiest with:

• Just that I was able to actually have something to show for each month LOL Had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the summer months, but honestly it's a good show. I haven't done this much drawing consistently since... 2012?
• I managed to use lots of different mediums over the course of the year ^^ ballpoint pens and pencils, dip pen and ink, brush pens, markers, digital painting/cel shading, etc. I've been moving more and more into digital art this year, but I still love those traditional mediums too~
• I was actually shocked that only 4 months (technically 5, but Jan was a panel from a comic project I dropped starting in February lol) had art related to my comic that I considered to be my best work of the month. I honestly don't remember having time to do my comic and all of these other nice illustrations but yet here they are lol

Most of my time is spent working on comics, but here's some bigger projects (mostly from my comic anyway lol). Look at all those blondies!

[Rowein]

I drew a lot this year (mostly comic tho) because I had more time to do it. It was a great year, I can't complain

[KoreanTacos]

Did Mermaid Melody become super relevant again, cause I've been seeing a lot of fan art for it XD Not that there's anything wrong with Luchia and friends.

[akemikae]

That's a good question! I've just been a big fan of it for years. If it is getting more popular I will not complain!!

[SynergyEclipse]

Everything I drew this year was for my comic, but I took up two drawing challenges this year, in October and December. The sketches are all related to my comic, and many of them have stories accompanying them.

For 2019, I want to also draw other things if I'll have the time.

I tried out some different styles this year. In the drawing shown under February, I added soft shading effects in Photoshop and used some brushes to emulate the dramatic watercolor freeze-frames in anime.

The drawing shown under April was an April Fool's update. I would've joked that this was going to be the new look!

The drawing shown under September was a test drawing on my new computer. The lineart was vectored, but this was my first experiment coloring with Krita.

During October, I made a mix of traditional and digital sketches. The digital sketches helped me practice drawing line art in Krita when I wasn't used to it yet, and to try different coloring and inking techniques.

[Fierce_Chai]

Here is mine! I'm not 100% satisfied but I did my best

[Resincrew]

Here is mine. I think I improved a lot. 2018 was a good year.

I hope you'll excuse me for a little bit more of self-irony
