2017 - Summary of Art

Another year that has flown by... here's my 2017 art summary ´w`)/

Thoughts on 2017

2017 was quite a turbulent year for me both in terms of personal life and art... Early
in this year I took a large break from art due to school and exams, but despite that,
I'm still proud of the improvement I've made in one year time! There's quite a few 
works from this year that I was really proud of -and still am. 

One of the biggest improvements is that I've started painting, and since then I've been
much more free with my art and backgrounds too. You can clearly see the improvement
from the start of the year compared to later months. I think compared to previous years
that detailed, elaborate backgrounds have become much more frequent too. Overall,
my shading has improved as well (it looks less flat in my opinion) and I think the
work I've done on poses paid off in the end as well. Looking back at my goals for 
2017 that I wrote in 2016, I think I did pretty well on improving on those areas ; v;

Plans for 2018

Since it was quite nice to do this last year, I wanted to write up some goals for next year
as well... ; w;
- Work more on perspective, foreshortening and dynamic angles
- Improve poses/anatomy knowledge
- Keep working on faces and expressions, especially noses and eyes
- Improve on creating depth/shading
- Keep working on finding my own style
