* Every year, at the end of december, artists on the internet post their "art summaries of the year".

* It's a nice way to look back on what we've achieved and how we've improved in the last 12 months.

* Usually that's done by picking 1 drawing from each month and compiling them into a single image to post on social media.

* I did that for the last couple of years, but this time I've decided to look back at the year as a whole, paying attention also to the unfinished stuff.


January

* I was really busy and tired through the whole month of january, so I only managed to get a few doodles done.

* I had started a drawing at the very beginning of the month which was supposed to be the first one of the year to be completed but I couldn't manage to work on it after the first week of january.

February

* As soon as february started I rushed to finish the new year drawing in time for the lunar new year.

* Because the outline-less art style I was going for at the beginning would have taken too long to finish, I started the drawing almost from scratch, going for a limited 4-color palette instead.

* I then proceded to get art blocked for the rest of the month. cool.

March

* March was a nice, eventful month for me. Didn't draw a lot tho.

* In the first half of the month I made a tardis painting with oil pastels and doodled Mappy and Goro the whole time.

* I then started experimenting with comics.


April

* I wanted to find a quick and easy way to make comics digitally, while making them look like they are drawn with markers on paper.

* I wrote a short comic during all this to develop the process, but then I kept rewriting it and it got longer and longer and I ended up never actually drawing it. bruh

* I did draw smaller test comics, tho.

* Around september 10th it was announced that Cohost would enter read-only mode on october 1st, and that the servers would be shut down at the end of 2024.

* Overall, I'm really proud of what I've made this year.

* I would have liked to do more, and I got art block many times throughout the year, but I feel like my skills have improved from 2023 and that's what matters.

* Well, that's it. There's nothing left for me to do other than to wish whoever's reading this a
