I've never done one of these, but I just sort of felt like it.

I recently got curious and looked when I bought my first digitizer, and it was exactly on the 25th of March 2022, I was drawing a little bit of traditional art at the time, but I didn't really like it, although I had the drive to improve.
Digital art always felt more approachable, not only for the multiple tools that made some things easier(backgrounds and of course CTRL+Z), but the sheer lack of eraser dust everywhere and the absolutely horrible posture and backpain, I never looked back.
I then decided to spoil myself, a proper drawing tablet, screen and everything, and soon after a high-quality monitor arm so it would be easy to access and once again, I wouldn't have to break my back when using it.

We now live in a very scary time, especially if you're a growing artist, AI able to create so called "Art" with a few instructions. I still feel it is rather obvious and yet, there are times when I squint for a long time at my screen and I'm just not quite sure what to think, and that quite frankly is frightening.


Enough dystopia thoughts though and onto more positive notes. I've somehow gotten to a point were people wished they had my so called "skill level", which is a thing I don't get at all. I've come to realize when it comes to art I'm very much my own worst enemy... I doubt myself at every twist and turn, overthink and stare myself blind. I don't think it is all bad though, as I believe my very critical thinking of my own work has helped me improve. However, to all of you that has showed your love and support through it all, I fucking love you and appreciate you, even if I'm absolutely horrible at saying it. However, I do wonder if other artists go through the same motions as I do.



Final note.. I just want to give the biggest shoutout to everyone who has ever helped me improve my art, being it helping me with difficult anatomy, helping me correct or just showing me general tools to improve. You all know who you are, and I really hope you know how much I appreciate your help, even if at times I can be bad at showing it... It just doesn't always come easy to me and I truly don't always believe the simple "Thank you" do your help justice.. But then again.. Thank you!



Art is hard you guys.
