2009 Summary of INKY Art

Description

Heh, I took a much-needed break from outlining and colouring to throw this together. I like these little things where I can look back and stare in shock/contemplate how I have improved throughout the year. c:

I'm actually really surprised at how much my artwork has changed this year.

Revelations, comparing now to then:

January - No more icky cell-shading, where I'm shading randomly and there isn't really a very good idea of light sources and such. Less lazy doing lineart and fewer coloured sketches.

February - Fewer blurred lines, more precise, clear ones.

March - No more gigantic head-eye-wings on Lyreia (that was a mistake, I swear!)

April [1 & 2] - Um... animating avatars is fun? xD

May - Lineless CGs look much smoother, and less like paper cut-outs with shading stuck onto them.

June - Soft-shading with better technique (there's actually a proper light source now!) and is also much darker and more dramatic.

July - I'm so used to seeing this picture now. :| (it's been both of our DPs since I first drew it) xD;

August - Rain effects aren't that hard. Also, I can make use of textures!

September - Reference pictures are very helpful for creatures you have never drawn before.

October - I can paint an ocean? O:

November - Better colour choice. More vivid and definitely more appealing to the eye. ;b (well really, this started in September, but it's definitely more evident here)

December - I work a lot faster (and yet, as I say this, I have nothing to put here yet). XD

Hoooray for changes!
It's kind of funny how I have a ton of art for one month, but nothing for the next.

...now that I think about it, what was I doing during April this year? o_o;

I CAN SEES IMPROVEMENT, OH YES. :D

(Hah, if I made one of these for my writing, everything would be in June and July and August and there would be nothing in any other month. xD)

And, in April, animating avatars were soooo much fun that you forgot you had anything else to do?
...either that or aliens + brainwashing.
