I improved in a lot of ways. I haven't done a lot of drawing this past year, but I've focused a lot on studying art and soaking in a lot of knowledge, which is why I think despite not practicing as often, I'm practicing effectively by doing art studies and applying those to the few pieces I make.

'I would also say I've vastly improved in my use of photoshop. At the start of 2019 I told myself I would force myself to use photoshop so I could improve and have a more powerful program at my disposal. You can tell with my original piece I was still experimenting and using different brushes, textures, and tools. But in the 2020 version it's more refined and controlled. I didn't need that many brushes and tools to make a beautiful painting. And although Photoshop isn't a necessity to create beautiful artwork, I knew it was the direction I wanted to go because of how powerful it is. I can easily say it brought my art to the next level and closer to professional artwork.'

'I originally started the repaint in August, but got fed up with my laptops inaccurate colors causing my piece to be way more vivid and saturated than I intended. Now that I am creating an Art Studio I've been making some big boi purchases to upgrade my work set up. I got two monitors that are highly rated for color accuracy and boi does it show. When I started this piece again you can tell an immediate difference in my color choices, tone, and values. '

' I hope this was able to help any artists who are unsure of their journey and art process. Despite not making a lot of pieces this past year I still have drastically improved. I focused less on the quantity of pieces I made and, like a stated before, really studied art and and learned different techniques, and practiced with a purpose. I have fewer completed pieces but they're higher quality with each piece I make.
If anyone has any questions about art, want quick advice, or anything then feel free to ask in the comments and I'll do my best to reply ^v^'
Also let me know if you guys would be interested in me making a YouTube channel that shows my art process, time lapses, studio tour, and just art things in general
