Description Decided to just update this instead of uploading a whole art summary for 2019 because, frankly, I didn't have enough art to fill a whole year.

As I stated in the text blurb as well, 2019 was the worst year in regards to art for me in a long time. I have never sunken so low with my motivation, which was mainly due to personal things happening in my life. They are somewhat taken care of now and I finally managed to do some art again in the last few months of this year, mainly motivated thanks to DnD (it's a real life saver to me tbh).

I also finally understood what bothered me about my art so much these past few years. This isn't the place to talk about it, maybe I will write a journal sometime. Or maybe, I decide it isn't worth the time and energy and just keep it to myself. Eh, not sure. There's a lot of stuff going through my mind which I have to get in order before moving forward.

Hope you all had a better 2019 and let's see what the new decade brings with it.



Initially I wanted to upload this in conjunction with my 2016 Art Summary, it took me way too long to find old art examples though so it has only been finished now :'D

I've wanted to do this meme for such a long time, to see for myself how much I have improved over all those years. And also to show you guys where all of this started.

Personally, I love taking a look at other versions of this meme, to see not only how far someone has come but also where they started out.

Arting is a scary process, not only for beginners, and -at least I- sometimes feel overwhelmed with how little progress I seem to make. I feel like I should be way better by now and that my art isn't good enough. It demotivates me so much that I don't even feel like picking up a pencil at times because my mind is blocking me from doing so and telling me that I shouldn't be drawing at all if I'm that bad.

Things like this meme remind me that one has to see the bigger picture. And it helps me focus on comparing my art with my own improvement, not that of others. Sometimes I forget that. It's hard looking at the amazing pictures others create and knowing that I'll probably never create anything equal to it. Then I remember that I don't have to, because I'm my own person with my own style and my own art journey.


Seriously, I recommend this meme to everyone, whether you've been drawing 1 month or 15 years. Nothing feels quite as good as seeing how far you've made it, and in a few years you might be somewhere you can't even imagine to be at today.

The blank version, for ya'll who wanna try this as well <3

You have improved tremendously in the years and I really love your general art direction and style!Ā 


I'm really sorry about your art block, I didn't realise you had one too ;0; I really hope you have left it behind, mine is still lingering around but its precisely thanks to DnD that I was able to move back to my old ways and slowly but definitely leave my art block behind.


Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to where your art will take you in the future

Thank you so much <3

Ahaha yeah, it kinda crept up on me slowly and bodyslammed me into a pit without me even noticing until it was too late :'D DnD kept me going only a bit at first but tbh what really lifted my artblock was our finally of Curse of Strahd x'D it was so amazing and gave me so many ideas that it single-handedly provided me with enough motivation to draw again and also made me realise some other things that I have since reflected on a lot

And I really hope that I can give the same kind of motivation to you with our sessions so that your art block with be broken as well ƙuƚ9
