UPDATE // goodbye, 2022! (Patreon)

The year is almost over! It was an exciting year for me, with lots of changes. I'm heading out of this year very differently than I came into it and I'm really happy about that! Here's how this month went for me:
RETURNING TO EARTHY TONES & TEXTURED BRUSHES
Back when I was first starting out with my art career, I gravitated towards a really brown and textured style. A lot of my art from 2012 had this vibe. Now, 10 years later, I feel really drawn to it again. I think it’s a reaction to the ways in which tech has been developing and the explosion of really shiny colorful art that comes out of the AI image generators. It makes me want to retreat to a different time and a different aesthetic.
I GOT KITTIES!
Me and Arjen headed to the shelter to pick up our new kitties! We lost our cat Charlie 4 years ago so it felt like time to adopt a pet again. We picked up two brothers, only 8 months old! They are so sweet and cute. Their names are Obi and Chewie! Here are some pictures:
GOALS FOR 2023
This year, I wanted to draw more vast and immersive landscapes. Next year, I want to do more cozy and visually rich interiors. That’s something I’m just not so good at, so I really need to practice more! What’s your artistic goal for 2023?
Speaking of which, how did you find 2022? Was it a good year for you, or are you happy to be leaving it behind? Either way, I hope you have a lovely new years!
I'll be sending out the DM's with the patreon content later today, so keep an eye out for it ❤
