Description
Since I didn't complete many pictures this year, and focused mostly on mental recovery ready for a fantastic 2014, I decided to do a full summary of art instead!
There's a lot of text on it, don't feel you need to read it all or anything. It's mostly pretty miserable, as 2005 was my first full year at Secondary School - the school where I spent my entire time being bullied, so it was all a very emotionally difficult time for me. To escape, I spent a lot of time on the internet, discovered DeviantArt, and started drawing seriously. I guess difficult times bring about the best changes.
I did draw before then - at Primary school I drew all the time and made comics for my friends. I will try and find those drawings and add previous years to this, but honestly I have no idea where those drawings are! XD
If this inspires anyone, I'll be happy. I think my progress has been much slower than a lot of other artists, but I've learnt a lot over the years. I'd like to make a set of tutorials to help other people to make progress much faster than me. 9 times out of 10 those artists who progress crazy fast do so because they have a friend or teacher showing them the secrets
Art all by me.

You stuck at it and it paid off / is still paying off. That's life right there in a nutshell. Never stop keeping on - you're worth it and so is life. Just one question - why no Kyubey-chan? I love/fear Kyubey-chan!

I tired to include the best works I did across each year... in the case of Kyubey-chan, she was actually created at a point where I was struggling to draw something I was really happy with so other works I drew that year came out better, in my opinion. Well, I guess this just means I need to draw her again this year and make it a picture I feel really proud of!!

Better?! That will be . . . /awesome/!
I look forward to it with anticipation and dread in equal parts

I read all the text, it certainly didn't scare me off. It was nice of you to give us a little glimpse
Β into your personal life and I enjoyed seeing how much more colourful and bright your artwork
has become over time, it shows how much you were trying to be happy and overcome your
depression. As someone else who also has clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder
and who was also bullied your improvement meme really rang true to me and I'm so glad
you shared it because it's also nice to know someone else is out there whose going through
tough things too.

Wow such a lovely comment, thank you! ^^
The colour thing is interesting as my drawings before I became serious (pre-2005) were all pretty colourful too. I think as a teen I sort of reveled in my misery XD I was almost proud of it, but then as I started to feel like I didn't want to be that way... it's like you say, I was trying to be happy - and I feel that surrounding oneself in pleasant things can't be a bad thing. My art is colourful, and so is my collection of toys on the shelves beside me XDΒ I actually realised that when I had a wallpaper on my PC that was dark in colour - even if the image itself was happy or something I liked - I'd generally feel more down. Colours are good, for sure <3
I'm glad that seeing my journey has made you feel a little better~
And good luck to you too! Thank you for watching me. I hope that I can show you lots of good art this year!
