day 1449 Last post of 2019, good. In short: Woohoo, clouds. Wild year for me in art. Looking back on the last post of 2018 I had discussed how sporadic it was, and that aspect did not change in 2019. Thankfully, I took a big jump in adding color into my work, with the most unexpected subject: Clouds. I’ve no idea why clouds, but they made for me the perfect gateway into taking the jump. I’ve come to realize that I seem to do just fine taking the dive into unknown territory so long as I have some kind of hook. The thumbnails and scarce paintings here and there have helped me ease into the world of color much easier, and now, it feels more like drawing does; Something I just do. Not a task, or a challenge(not in the act of starting mind you, but the process is certainly challenging), but something I can start doing without any forced will or resistance. In hindsight, it’s nice to know that 2018 me can rest assured that yes, I’ve jumped in. HOWEVER. 3D was a thing I was doing, what the hell happened. Why did I stop--AGAIN. Why am I suffering from perpetual 3D burnout despite it being the very reason I took to drawing BECAUSE I realized I desired nice model sheets to model off of. Its so bizarre to me. Whats gonna be my hook to get me anchored into 3D, I want to know in advance. I feel all the anatomy stuff took a sideline towards the second half of the year; I wanted to get better at feet so I can stop drawing the sly cooper/DC animated triangle feet. I still struggle with the waist, hip area and legs. I still desire dynamic energy and a sense of weight in my figures. Looking back on some of the older sketches I’m wondering where I seemingly stopped caring for accuracy, now its all simplified, which isn’t a bad thing, but it strikes me as peculiar. I’ve become messier. I dropped out of DAD around April or so due to a new job completely throwing everything upside down, and I thought I’d return, but I haven’t. And I’m not sure I care to. Yet I still check every day to see the drawing posts, just to see how everyone else is doing. I can’t abandon the group. If it wasn’t for LAS I wouldn’t be here. Drawing daily. TekkyJSKURT is watching you. You can’t escape. I don’t know if I’m happy with this year frankly. Getting into color is nice, but I’m looking to address what I lack, and get closer to what I desire in my art, though I’m sure 2018 me would be satisfied that I’ve gotten into coloring. At this point I’m sure I need to getting more opinions from my peers to further improve. You can only do so much by yourself, you know? And this year I’ve felt that more than ever. Thankfully I feel I’m submerged in a good crowd of artists with varying tastes and skills etc, so all I gotta do is just gather the will to do what needs to be done. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Also maaan that shadow dude from 2011 is still sick. Don’t forget to take a look back on old work, see where you were, and where you are. It puts it all into perspective. Maybe, you’ve gotten better than you think. Anyway, everyone, Keep drawing and pursuing your passions, find your hooks that yank you into whatever it is you want to jump into. Continue to create amazing things, and hopefully the 20′s are roaring again. I’m hoping we can look back on 2020 with enthusiasm for what’s next. Thanks for sticking with me so far these 4 some years. Happy New Year to you all, and let’s keep on keepin’ on.

Why is he trending? I mean I love that this sexy beast is one of the top endings to the decade. However, I feel like I'm missing some important context.

It’s the last post of the year and so I have redraw an old drawing of mine. Man so much time has passed.

Probably one of the better New Years celebrations I’ve had. Couple mishaps during the night but is what it is. Thanks for putting up with my weird shenanigans and requests, guys. But I’m super happy to bring in the new year doing something I fully enjoyed.

Adiós 2019:

Por primera vez en mi vida me siento con el valor de decirlo:

Tuve el mejor año de mi vida.

Lo cual es raro, ya que si alguien observa mi blog, verán un sin fin de entradas tristes y negativas. Entonces, ¿Por qué este ha sido el mejor año de mi vida? Básicamente, se resume en esto:

1.- Logré terminar la mayoría de mis semestres en aula en la universidad (ya solo queda 1)

2.- Asistí y pasé el segundo nivel del tercer idioma que estoy estudiando.

3.- Por por primera vez, llevé durante todo un semestre una clase totalmente en inglés, acreditándola de manera sobresaliente.

4.- Tuve 1 entrevista con una periodista local acerca de un cuento infantil que escribí.

5.- Participé y gané un concurso de innovación a nivel regional.

6.- Fui capitana de dicho equipo en su pase por el nacional (no se logró)

7.- Emprendí por primera vez un viaje sola y fuera del estado.

8.- Terminé e inicié mi servicio social como analista.

9.- Creé un libro infantil.

10.- Tomé el salto y me cambié de turno en mi carrrera, lo que provocó que conociera a muchas personas que se han allegado mucho a mi corazón.

11.- Conocí muchas personas nuevas.

12.- Renuncié a amistades y familiares tóxicos.

13.- Sentí ‘amor a primera vista’

14.- Me enamoré.

y finalmente...

15.- Inicié una relación de noviazgo con una persona dulce, preciosa y amorosa.

En el intervalo de todas estas cosas buenas hubo muchos altibajos; unos que casi hicieron que perdiera el foco acerca de todo aquello hermoso que estaba pasando en mi vida... Estoy... feliz, creo.

Feliz por todo lo que hice; orgullosa, incluso, debo decir.

Feliz por como llevé este año.

Así que sí:  

Este ha sido, hasta hoy, el mejor año de mi vida; y por ello, estoy agradecida con todo lo que vino y  por aquello que vendrá.

Gracias y adiós, 2019.

-Ciare Agonce.
