2012 Art Summary

Published:

Description

Alright, running a few days behind everyone else on this, but better late than never, am I right? =P

January: [link] I felt like the year started off well for me! :D Something about the way I drew face seemed to improve suddenly and I'm not entirely certain why. :XD: I was also having fun coloring with the 48 pack of Prismacolor markers I had received for Christmas. Over 2012 those things became my favorite coloring medium and I've expanded my collection here and there as I felt it needed. :D

February: [link] This picture is no longer my favorite out of the things I drew in February, but I decided to use it to reprsent the month anyway. Because I worked VERY hard on coloring it and learned so much! :D

March: [link] I actually still like this picture, even if I could do better now. Lots of experimenting with digital coloring here. The characters belong to a friend of mine, who's now on the account ~Keyblade--Break

April: [link] An art trade with ~HanMolo05! :dummy: Fun with expressions on this one!

May: [link] The month I started coloring on smooth Bristol paper! I think my coloring has improved a lot due to that! This was also the month that I opened my group, :iconkariyauzuki-fans:

June: [link] Only picture I finished that month, a birthday gift for ~Cerulean-Star75. I was getting sick of drawing plain backgrounds, so I added some random flowers to this one. :XD:

July: [link] The first of my many OHSHC sketches to turn into a finished picture. :XD: I absolutely love drawing fan art for this series. It's so addictive with their crazy personalities and fun designs! :dummy:

August: [link] August was a CRAZY busy month for me, so I actually didn't upload anything. Although I'm using this picture to represent August because I finished about 85% of it that month. Then I just got lazy and didn't post it for a while longer. :lol:

September: [link] Still quite proud of this picture. :meow: I worked very hard on the pose and crazed expression. Once again, I feel like I made some overall improvements that month. This one was a birthday gift for the talented and wonderful ~NaikoPako, of her character Janchuri Haneya.

October: [link] So much detail! :XD: At least, in comparison with my other works. In the end, it was probably good for me, because now I'm trying to work to make most of my pictures as detailed as this one. Practice makes perfect! :la: This was a birthday gift for the SUPER FANTASTIC *KittyCowLexa, her characters James and Grace.

November: [link] Only finished a doodle this month. Although I do rather like something about the "feel" of this drawing. :nod:

December: [link] Just a couple of sketches from me this month! One of which will remain a sketch, but I'm still working on finishing the one shown here. :D

All in all, I think it was a pretty good year for me, art wise. This year I'm hoping to continue improving on my weak points, learn to draw faster without sacrificing quality and to do some more writing. Wish me luck! :dance:

This is beautiful! :iconsobeautifulplz: Seriously, every picture in this summary is amazing, but what's even more amazing is your rapid improvement! And (of course) I had to go back and look at your previous summaries, which makes this one even more awesome to me! You've improved so much since you first joined dA, and it's exciting to think that you'll improve even MORE this year and in the years to come! :wow:

Keep up the amazing work, girl! If you're this good already, then I can tell that you're gonna go places! :tighthug:
