2014 Summary of (digital) Art

Description

Yeeah, I decided to do this summary of art meme, because it did look like fun.
No traditionals here, because, well, first I would have to scan them and I don't like doing that. And second... well, I just don't think comparing digital art with traditional makes any sense, at least in my case, as I find traditional like bazillion times easier to make and it usually looks much nicer than my digitals.
But that's anyway.

Back to this meme. I didn't really draw that much digital art this year so it was difficult to find anything for some months (yes, September, I am looking at you, and you April, you aren't any better, and don't even get me started on February).
By the way, that's why some of these pictures weren't posted back then. I just didn't consider them good enough.

What did I manage to improve, that's the question. Well, for starters I finally gave up on this pathetic 800x800px resolution and started doing bigger stuff. That's always nice.
I got past pony stuff, and while I know it may be disappointing for some... or actually probably the majority of you, it was really holding me back. Drawing one thing over and over is never good for your skills, kids.
I started to get the idea how digital painting and complex shading should look like, and although I still suck at it pretty bad, it's still better than it was.
I managed to improve my humans a bit, and I'm pretty happy about this. Especially being able drawing decent faces without any reference is nice. (don't look at the LeBlanc from March, she was drawn from a photo, that doesn't count). 
Also wow, I really can't decide on a consistent style.

That's all I guess, 2014 was a... well, pretty awful year actually, but that's mainly because of the lack of time and too much stuff at school. 2015 will be even worse, hey!
But we all have no other option but to proceed into it, no matter if we are ready or not, if we want it or not, if we understand the concept of time or not. The 2015 is almost here, looming on the horizon, terrifying, relentless, inevitable...

ahem.
happy new year guys

I cannot say that I'm not a bit disappointed to hear that you're not going to be making more pony very often, but I understand entirely. I look forward to seeing where you go from here. :) (Smile)
