First drawing of the year, here we go!
I hate the background and the words but oh well xD i've already spent much longer on this than I intended so I'm movin on. Also lazy shading is lazy.

With a new year comes a new resolution! Last year I resolved to draw every day, but I only lasted until about March. This year I've realized that every day just isn't my pace. If I end up doing that much, that's great! But I shouldn't force myself. I plan on doing 182.5 drawings. Maybe I'll crank them all out in the first half of the year, maybe I'll do every other day. But it's a plan.
Along with that I plan on starting an art journey. I've spent too much time in the shadows of the people I've thought better than me. Laziness and self-loathing consumed me and my ability to draw. I couldn't find motivation or satisfaction in drawing.

It became a competition.

But I'm done with that. I might not be able to get away for good, but the only way I'll ever be satisfied with myself is if I actually push myself to get better. I'm going to doodle, practice, research, reference, study. Anything and everything I can do to allow future me to look back on 2020 as the year I finally was happy with myself.

Anyway, deep stuff, mm. This Kumi hugging my precious Tizoc. No references were used and I drew it on an Intuos. c:

very deep words indeed, and hey whats so wrong with the background here? sometimes simple is best x) <3

I really admire the fact that you came out with such confessions on here, and your plans on how to take on what has been eating away at you from inside. We really can be our own worst enemy as far as our art is concerned.

But you will always have 110% support from me even if its just a 10 second doodle or something! ^^

(also ive been thinking here lately that maybe we need to collab again soon! <3 )

First of allll, I love this. ;-; Your art style is so nice and clean and varied and adhifhsifs, it's satisfying to look at! (Sounds weird but shush, it is.)

Second, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BACKGROUND AND WRITING. I actually REALLY like those parts of the art! They both work well with the colors of the art and don't take away from the main focus. ^^

And third, I wish you an amazing 2020!! Remember that I'll always be a fan of your art and I'll be cheering you on. <3 I really felt that part about standing in the shadows of others. It's hard to NOT compare your art to other people's. Heck, we compare OURSELVES to others. It isn't healthy or fair to ourselves.

I hope we both can stop comparing and instead learn and grow lots this year. <3 Happy New Year, friend. <3

It just didn't seem like te right colors to me, that's all xD

I think more people should be honest. We gotta loosen up a little! Art isn't super serious, it isn't life or death usually.
Thank you for all your support, you know how much it means to me ;^; <3 And yes, I'd love to do another collab sometime!

I'm flattered efhowsie thank you!

I tried to make some nice highlights for the words because they were looking kinda dull but they ended up looking lazy or something >w< also, like I said above, I wasn't sure if those were the best colors for the background...

Yes yes yes, and I wish you an amazing 2020 as well! Ditto about cheering you on, as well. I like seeing how you manage to make those great artworks with only a mouse 0~0 By the way, have you ever considered trying a tablet?


Anyway, I'll try to keep my gusto going. You're the kind of people that help me do that, so thank you <3

Aww, many thanks. <33 I actually have owned a Wacom Intuos tablet for quite a few years! I really prefer using a mouse to draw, honestlyyy?? I mean, I guess I could eventually get used to a tablet but meh, I have more control and ease with a mouse!
So many people have recommended tablets, it's kind of hilarious. xD I'm an oddball, I suppose!
