.:My art journey 2017:.

Description

2017 is slowly drawing to an end so I want to sum up my art journey.
The most satisfying thing is that I can finally see visible improvement in my art. The most obvious one is the fact that I started to work on more or less detailed backgrounds which is, in my opinion, one of the most important aspects in an art piece. It can kill your drawing when done wrong but boost it as well when you take your time and put effort into it! Furthermore I improved on my shading style going from cell shading to soft shade and I'm still trying to make it more semi-realistic (my goal for 2018 xD)... and while we're on the subject of "semi-realism": I'm happy I could get over my lazyness and actually gave myself a go to try it... aaaand to be honest I'm very proud of myself when I see the results :heart:
Despite this positive progress, however, I need to work harder on the following aspects:
- backgrounds: Right now I'm starting out on backgrounds so there's a lot of things to work on.
- anatomy: My anatomy is not bad I'd say but I still need to learn more about it to be able to improve on my shading. Things like muscles, body movement, proportions, hands, etc.
- compositing: I noticed that 95% of my art is very static and that I always use the simpliest perspectives - that must be changed! I'd love my art to be more dynamic to create tension and I'll have to learn how to use unusual angles to make my art more interesting.
- lighting: Yep, lighting is probably my biggest enemy atm. Every time I try to do something cool I fail xD 

With this said I want to wish you all a healthy, fortunate and creative New Year with lots of memorable moments and joy!
Take care of yourself and your loved ones! :heart:
See you all next year! (omg that joke is sooo lame sorry... Happy cry (Tears of joy)
