I think this is the first time I've drawn enough to make one of these with more than just sketches. here's to a 2025 full of learning and growing as an artist

highlights from 2024:

tried out blender

took an art fundamentals class

started doing more studies

goals for 2025:

start to form my own voice, away from fan art

work more with traditional mediums

make more, in general
