pine's 2023 art summary ─── ↢◈↣ ─── okay, wow. I can't believe it's been a year since 2022. I've done a lot of art since January, and I'm proud to say that I have definitely improved in my art skills, as you can see. back in January, I had no concept of cat anatomy, though I had just gotten the hang of rendering my art pieces. since then, I've gotten better at having a more consistent style and better (more realistic) anatomy, though my shading and lighting skills have gone down. anyway, on to the art! --- January this was for ota payments for my sister, @Vi0let_M1st! I had just figured out a rendering style, and I'm honestly still quite proud of the lighting, though not the face anatomy. --- February this was a rendering test using my character, brook! I still don't like the way I used to do faces, but other than that I think it looks fine --- March I was very proud of this art back when I made it, and I'm still quite proud of it now. it was for a studio thumbnail --- April an icon that I used as a pfp for a while! I still really like it, especially the way I did the lighting and shading --- May a reference for one of my characters. I don't like the way I drew the body, but I do mostly like the face. the design is pretty cool --- June the thumbnail for my tempest application! I do not like the way I did the eyes, but I think the fur went really well and the lighting is decent --- July my computer background. I still use it, and I think the art is pretty good. I love the colors on it --- August a design for a dta I hosted. the dta itself ended up a failure, but I got to keep the design which makes me very happy. I was trying to figure out how to draw legs, and I made them too long, but it's an improvement from my previous art --- September tempest's second reference! the legs are still weird, but I mostly like how the face turned out. not my best work, but still okay --- October pine, my truesona! I still like the art, and I think that this is when my art style really became what it is now. --- November a scene practice. I definitely need to work on my backgrounds --- December wildfirekit! I've been working on drawing side profiles of cats, and I think my practice paid off ─── ↢◈↣ ─── ↣ credits - art : me (obviously) - designs : (in order of appearance) @Vi0let_M1st, me, @-NotWillow-, @Fl1cker_F0x, @Pine_Needles, @PebblePawz, @-CaramelKittens-, me again, @PebblePawz again, @Pine_Needles again, @Vi0let_M1st again, and @Fl1cker_F0x again (me, @Pine_Needles, and @Fl1cker_F0x are all the same person, I just wanted to add a little variety - characters are all owned by me other than the first one, who belongs to my sister
