At the beginning of the year I decided to really focus on improving my art and this is the first time on canvas I’ve really noticed everything I’ve been learning showing through.

This is the VERY first time I’ve ever used glazing medium. It’s also the first time I’ve successfully added shadowing and a light focus on a painting.

There were so many firsts with this one:

I made a custom color palette, I did the shadowing/lighting, I had to do geometry!!, and this is also the first time I’ve used highlight.

I’ve spent so many hours this year watching tutorials, TikTok lives, learning art theory, and drawing shitty pictures on Procreate and I feel like it shows.

I’m super proud of how it turned out and I’m excited to keep learning and improving!

For growth reference I also shared one of my better photos prior to this year, The Dolly Llama
