#also didnt notice how similar the style and composition of day 25 and 26 were until looking at them side by side... slightly painful

Thanks @lucksea and friends for providing the prompts, this was challenging but fun to participate in :)

Here's a compilation post of all my tokucember artworks ^^ (you can see them individually in this tag) honestly, still can't quite believe i did all of them and not a single one was late either~ I didn't draw every day since some days i could get 2 done but i did draw almost everyday. Multiple hours at a time even. And did tokuhols at the same time o.o

It was fun to do a lot of variety and show some love to pretty much every toku ive seen :> i forced myself to do a lot of coloring too, which i usually avoid lol. I also did a bunch of painting which ive never really done before outside of a few studies (that hand on day 3 im still very impressed with like wow that was me)

Honestly I'm surprisingly happy with a lot of stuff i made this month even though they were made in one day, just a few hours and a dream. I'd say the average was like 2-3 hours, and the min being maybe 30min and max 5-6 hours? Maybe its because i know of the time constraints im a bit less harsh on them lol. But also i am genuinely impressed too.

Doing all this also really highlights what needs to be worked on- linework is a huge one and ive always known that to be a weakpoint. Also you can tell i love doing chest up portraits because i do not know how legs work orz. Also you can see that i avoid backgrounds... But yeah just means i gotta work on it 👍

Let it be known l will not be making this much in january lol hopefully ill do some proper studying instead of just brute forcing pieces all the time. Surprisingly not burnt out though and its kind of had this effect where i havent made anything today and i feel antsy. Mightve gone too far in one direction...

If i participate next year it will probably be in a more limited fashion this took up a bit too much time but it was fun! And enlightening. And showed i could dedicate the time and motivation to art which i dont think i had the mental/emotional capacity for in like any other year of my life. Also was good for like, making what you feel like and not caring if it flops because who cares theres 30 more posts to do type of thing. (Well may have gotten depressed a handful of times but moved passed it quickly which is the important part >>) Just kind of a good thing for me i guess.

May we have an artful and tokuful 2025 🙏
