2022 carol

welp, what a year. it was surely a experience.
drawing a lot of chars, making my first original character, a whole lot of training and also paying my therapist with money made with my art - for me that was very fulfilling. art kept me alive one more year and art again is what i love most to do with my days.

this year i also feel more in love with the process - the brainstorming, the roughs and sketchs, the tests and the planning - and refining my lineart a bit more. still a long way to go but feels like i am really going somewhere. trying to draw from anime to cartoon to humans is a very nice thing to do. i may create something that feels like more and more like myself along the way, or be better and faster little by little.

that aside... i may not have a single coin to spare in these last days of the year but i am happy with what i did. i am happy for not giving up after aphantasia, after ai, after depression and the feeling of not being good enough. even if i am not free from my flaws, i am glad i stayed and tried again and make something again.

and i hope i can continue to be.
