Thank you all so much for the kind words! I appreciate it a lot!

july 5th, 2021 vs july 24th, 2023

bit of an Artist Evolution, but also character evolution. two years of drawing Red! the roots are the same, even if the details have changed.

2 years ago, i was extremely new to digital art and was kind of fumbling my way through photoshop, trying to figure things out as i went. that didnt exactly change, i just got a lot better at fumbling.

then i lost photoshop, had a meltdown, and got CSP. lather, rinse, repeat.

im getting more comfortable working outside my comfort zone. or i guess, expanding that comfort zone. there's still a lot i dont like about my art - and a lot i feel i need to improve on, but i think im getting there, however slowly. im learning and figuring things out, though that never really stops. i look forward to seeing where im at in another two years.

thanks yall for sticking around!

#not fallout #kal talks #been doing art for 13 years but i really do feel like most of my art improvement has been in the last 2.5 years #obviously my traditional art pre digital art was different but with digital i really was starting over from scratch #i had given digital art a try when i was around 14 15 and couldnt get the hang of it #so when we were all forced home for covid and my university gave me photoshop i figured #i might as well use this on my own time #i had the tablet anyway #and slowly i just started doing more and more digital art and less dry media #which i still do do! just usually only in class. i really enjoy life drawing its a lot of fun but god is it hard #not sure what changed but it does feel like a switch flipped in my brain that helped me begin to understand how to reference #images and how to draw what i see #and that's one of the things i dont like about my art ironically - if i dont have a reference im not good at filling in gaps #or creating something from wholecloth #i dont have a great visual imagination believe it or not #i struggle a lot creating something from my brain and have gotten worse since covid #i rely a lot on just memorization of anatomy #which is why things like ourfits #poses and compositions are usually pretty bland #i dont have a great idea of what i want in my head so my idea of how to execute it is pretty minimal #and idk how to change that. i dont think i CAN tbh. i cant get better at imagining stuff #anyways. im not complaining just musing. i thought it was interesting #thank you all again for the kind words! ive really enjoyed my artist's journey #could nwver have imagined this was where id be 2-3 years ago
