/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I am just picking a few pictures I did near a year ago and now. By my count I made 214 drawings over the course of 2020. I think I made some progress but I didn't really improve in the ways I wanted to. I mostly got better at understanding how to use references. And I got better at things like starting with a bigger canvas so you can zoom way in and go really slowly to make smoother lines. It takes me way longer now than it did a year ago to finish something but a better end result is a better end result. I also think I am better at picking subject matter. I made one drawing a few weeks ago of a squid with tank treads playing chess and throwing a paper airplane. I just get ideas like crazy and I attribute that to 2 things. 1) I quit smoking weed. 2) I actually made lists of subject matter. I just went through the artists I follow and made lists of recurring things I like from their drawings. My anatomy is better but again I think that's only because I have better references and am better at using them.
