Expect a giant description :D

And i thought that im finally settling in my style. NOPE :D

At the beggining of the year i started to have an ultimate art block. I was tired of everything because i had to write annual school project about CHEMISTRY and it just... sucked. so i got to the point in april that im giving up art. I was fully decided to live a life of ,,smart and educated" person and that led me into even bigger depression because now i had no stress-release activity. I lost lot of friends too which made my situation worse. I just marked myself useless and kept being depressed.

But then surprisingly, the motivation was brought back to me by an informatics teacher. She asked me to have a presentation about illustrations in some school conference and i was like, goddamn i cant disappoint her! So i had to prepare an art with saved progress steps. After i presented some guests from universities were asked to vote for the best presentation and they somehow chosed me. That was such a big thing for me that i told myself: Giving up? No way. I was born for this. And so i came back. With a little changes. I returned only to furaffinity first. I opened commissions and after a while i noticed that 90% of characters were anthro only and i was good only in feral, so i finally made that step in my life and started studying human anathomy. At least some form of it :D

As a part of my new motivation, i decided to create a new fursona with new personality and i think it was a genius idea. Because of her my personality also started to change and after a long time, i was able to socialize and make friends again. Also i really got into the furry stuff and started to make a fursuit of her ^^ But mowlin wasnt thrown away. Instead, she is my secondary sona and together with aurin they are perfect visualization of my weirdly complex personality. Sonny and Yato, who are my side characters also made me happier in sad times because at least i had imaginary friends :DD

Also at the end of school year I met two really inspiring artists  sharley and  FluffyLittleVixen who gave me additional punch of motivation because they were the first real life artists ive ever met and their art skills are just epic ;; Also i got a sketchbook from Sharley and my mind told me that i simply must fill it completely with drawings because its one of most precious things that were ever given to me ;; And ill be forever thankful.

And there I was- summer break. I had plenty of time, took plenty of commissions and majority of them were males. And i find males harder to draw because i have very little quality study material. So that made a bit uncomfortable but on the other hand, i started to enjoy the beauty of female anathomy (i used to dislike it). Also i started to dislike my color palletes because it was always just blue for shading, orange of light. the end. Plus I bought a new tablet, my wacom intuos pro darling <3.

Another great thing that happened that i passed the magic of sketchbook and made one for  swaglly, which also was the first thing that i ever sent to an internet friend. Absolutely amazing feeling. I could send you stuff everyday and never regret it :D

Since August my drawing style also started to change. Everything grew shorter and the eyes bigger. I still dont feel settled down in my style though. But on the other hand, since september i feel my color palletes are getting better, its no longer just blue and orange ;D By this time, I moved my sketching entirely to traditional form with pencils because i find it much easier for some reason.
AND in November i got an offer to illustrate A BOOK omg i tried so hard not to scream (i was in the middle of a shopping centre when i found out xD) so, that my priority right now :D i cant wait to see the result ;;

Currently my painting style also changes, the fur detail is smaller, but i think the fluffyness stays the same :D

So achievments of this year are: I finally started to draw anthro, i got used to pencil drawings, my color palletes are getting better, I created Aurin to complete mowlin, I currently am in furry fandom for 1 year and 2 days and ill soon have illustrations in a book

And 2016 new year resolutions?
Improve anathomy
improve color palletes
learn watercolors
learn to design characters and buildings and do concept art in general
FINISH THE GOD DAMN FURSUIT (im waiting for the supplies to arrive too long ;;)

I guess thats all :D Im curious what 2016 will bring ^^
