Meme blank by =Tai-L-RodRigueZ here: [link]

2012 Art Summary. Also used this same blank last year. If you'd like to compare my progress, here's last year's: [link]

I only picked from drawings uploaded to deviantART, and I'm going off of dA submission dates for the months. I'm considering maybe doing a crochet showcase too. I also did not count any Superb! comic strips.

1. [link] Worked really hard on this one to make it look good. You can't tell from the crop here but the overall body proportions were really small on this one.

2. [link] This was the first picture I did that ever got framed and hung on a wall! I love seeing it hanging in my friend's room, and I still am very proud of this one.

3. [link] I didn't draw very much in March, actually.

4. [link] I still ship Pinkie Pie X Big Macintosh, no matter how silly it is. I'm still quite happy with this one, too.

5. [link] My summer was very busy, and I finished and posted very few pictures during the summer months. This was my only one from May.

6. [link] This is the only drawing uploaded in June. It's from immediately after I got my tablet, and it's really funny to me because this was legit as good as I could draw using the tablet at that time. Also, I picked the specific section of the doodle dump for my cropped image because it's Nico and Josef from "The Legend of Eli Monpress," and they're in both of the last two pictures in this as well. (This was also right after I read the fourth book in the Eli Monpress series, hence the urge to draw the characters.)

7. [link] And just like that, I had the tablet finally figured out. Decent-ish representation of myself as I looked at that time.

8. [link] Traditional lines with digital coloring. This was a redraw of one of the oldest deviations in my account, and shows that I have progressed considerably since joining dA.

9. [link] I keep saying I'm going to do something like this again, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

10. [link] This was right about when my drawing style started to evolve into what it is right now (mainly the eyes and the fact that I started to have some consistency in drawing heads).

11. [link] Here's Nico again! This one was from late November, once my style had started to settle into what it is now (The sketchy lines and coloring, specifically). I also had recently started to get better with figuring out perspective, started adding backgrounds, etc.

12. :thumb343429606: Nico and Josef to finish out the year, too. I have been drawing other things too, I swear, but this was the best thing from this month. If I finish the picture I'm working on now before New Year's and it turns out better, I may replace it, but we'll just have to see.

Comparing December's to January's, it might not show that much of an improvement, but you have to consider that January's was one that I spent a large amount of time perfecting with the goal of having a really good piece to give to someone, as opposed to December's being something I just drew for the fun of it without throwing all of my effort into it. Also, compared to December's picture from last year, I'd say I can see a huge improvement.

I'm pretty happy with the place I am right now. That's not to say I don't want to keep improving by any means- I'm nowhere near perfect or as good as I hope to someday be, but for now I'm very happy I've made it this far. My art and style is finally at a point where I feel like I can comfortably express what I'm envisioning in my head, and that makes me really happy. Also, I was able to put drawings I made in every month, instead of ones I only colored.

Thanks for sticking with me this year! Here's hoping next year I can improve even more!

You've definitely improved over the year. From overall quality to anatomy to coloring, keep it up :D
