Well, clean slate. It's the year 2023 now. I thought it might be best to start this book of officially by showing you my art summary from 2022 and say some things about my art journey!
I don't usually write much about myself though so don't expect a lot. Hehe- ^^" Now!
Onto the summary of 2022. I started last year of with an artblock of sorts. I wasn't really inspired by anything. I didn't know what to draw or how to draw it, I didn't feel like doing my usual stuff and didn't like anything I did. So instead I started to explore different mediums and artstyles, working on my realism and my understanding of anatomy for example. I kind of fell down the Washitape obsession hole too- Uhm-
It might be best for you to see it yourself though. I'll also add some additional pieces too.

My first Obsession 2022
One of my most favorite realism artworks that I did with coal took me about 2-3 hours and was a lot of fun to do. It was based on a Pinterest picture of an old man with the most awesome hair and beard!

During my practice with coal and pencils I learned that shading a face appropriately is hard work and everything kind of comes down to the first steps. The first step is always to break down the reference info rough shapes. I have a progress shot from the black woman I put in my summary to kind of explain what I mean.
