What I have realized over this artwork is that as an artist, it is never too late to find your personal identity as an artist.

Your last rendition, is not a complete reflection of your style, you are constantly evolving and so is your style.

Never settle. Keep exploring.

Strong is the mind that can continue on when the mind tells them to stop.

David Bowie once said that, if you as creative don't push yourself outside of your comfort zone and wade deeper into the unknown than you'll never truly find something special in your art.

Looking at my own art for the past 3-4 months, I realized that I needed to wade deeper.

[wip] part:1 Happy New year 2025 🥳🥳

At the tail end of 2024 I decided that I needed to challenge myself more as an artist and general creative.

And instead of waiting for the new year I would start then and there.

This is a new chapter in my journey, one where the process of creation takes a bigger precedent and the result of the art work is just a by-product of that.

Here's to challenges.

~Warmth of the Serene.

I feel nothing but peace when I create, the days timelapse as I sit and create.

The worries that keep me up at night fade in these moments, the blues of my everyday spark in the flames of ambition creation and imagination. I can think of no better way to spend my days, I live for these moments and the ecstasy I feel by seeing the outcome is always enough for me to look forward for the next time.

Looking back on all my art this year, new ventures taken in the name of growth and self expression, I cant but help to smile on all I have done, and see myself doing in the future.

Its as if I have entered a flow state of creation, the days pass by but I don't feel any worry over it. This bubble I am in is one of comfort joy and vibrancy.

~Morning Blues of a Legacy in Wait.

What I have found in the process of building a legacy and career are the joys I get to live through when thinking about a future.

The life of the great artist I see myself being, carving a pathway in which only I walk, enjoying the bliss of my successes and the feeling of ache in my mind and on my body from all the effort it would take to get me there. These moments of still meditation are the joys of optimism.

2024 has been the most introspective and challenging years I have been through in all of my 21 years walking this rock.

Life changing decisions were made, commitments to completion were executed and the whole world seems to be opening up before me.

To commemorate this year of determination here is a work in progress of my next artwork.

~Head in the Clouds.

My dreams and ambitions have almost always been perceived as too far out of my means and reach by those on the outside.

Those "advices" many claim to give as a reality check have done nothing but hinder my progress and block out all of my ambitions in the process, and for a while "reality" has been a prison I've been shackled to, unable to dream.

This artwork is represents that escape, and the freedom one achieves from keeping their head in the clouds.

~Head in the Clouds

I've been taking my time this last week to complete what I consider my most true to basics technique yet.

I've been soaking in the hubris of quick and easy artworks over the past month, that I forgot that pushing yourself past your limits is what truly strengthens your abilities.

So when I decided to on my next piece I kept that in mind. And yeah, I grew tired and angry, but in the end, I only look back and see all the new methods I have learned over this process, and I'm glad in that moment of memory.

~Focus on the Horizon.

As dusk begins to fall over the year of 2024, I begin the physical and mental cooldown of a year spent in constant rush hour.

A slow down that will reflect in my presence online, and a more prevalent focus offline, to reflect on what I was able to achieve in one of my most productive years.

Quite is the room of satisfaction and grace that I find myself in, with an open heart I wish to tell you all to Focus on the Horizon, calmly and thankfully.

I love the way my progress has been feeling, the pressure of creation has constantly fuels my drive to become greater than my last work

This flow that I'm currently in has been fantastic and the result of my works so far looks brilliant.

Words are a waste, I should get back to it.

~Focus on the Horizon.

The more that I've been pushing myself in my artistry, to be better than before, the more I've been hitting my absolute limits. With every attempt and project I am struck with the realization that this journey, (if success and mastery is really what I want) will not be fortified without the prospect of struggle, pain and sorrow to peak over the horizon, day in and day out.

I sit, tired from this thought in mind as I write this down, a little discouraged to keep going, but as the waters ahead wade slowly with the winds I am calmed, by not only my ambition but also with the confidence in my ability to carve and slice through all that stands in my way to the highest of heights.

~A Digital Sketch,

THIS HAS TO BE, ONE OF THE HARDEST ARTWORKS I HAVE DONE DIGIALTALLY SO FAR.

Emulating what one is able to easily achieve on physical paper onto a software with the use of a pad is difficult and frustrating. This was challenging to complete and completely scary to attempt as a beginner whose views every artwork complete, as a representation of all of their skills on display. The reality I just had to swallow today, needed a spirit chaser.

With all my previous works I had complete fun in the process, but this locked me into an emotion far removed from joy and anticipation for what's to come.

Funnily enough this looks just like my sketching style, rough, detailed and blurred, a cacophony of different styles blended together.

I like it, but I know with a lot more practice, I would LOVE IT.

A digital sketch, [wip]

I have never been more scared to attempt a new technique quite more than this one.

The method of sketching on paper is my strongest point, and some of my best work has come from it.

So for me to make this leap from physical to digital was bone chilling, not only to the outcome possibly being somewhat lackluster, but to my entire self-esteem as an artist in totality.

I'll push through and test myself finely.

~Lady in White,

This artwork has definitely been a step in the right direction for me artistically and technically. I've gotten a lot more used to layering the different aspects of the art, as to prevent getting too attached to "detailed sections" throughout the process.

Taking a step back in time, this piece has been my most detailed so far. The use of shadowing has improved greatly from my first attempts and blending in different tones has been a less chaotic experience for me too.

Things have definitely been improving.

After my last artwork, I realized that I needed to focus more on shape and form, so for this process that was my main priority.

What I also figured I needed to do to diversify my skillset, was to practice with other brushes and techniques. I got too used to the norm of creation, that I missed out on BEING CREATIVE.
