🎨 Art vs Artist 2024 - 2023 - 2022 - 2021 

I can’t believe it’s 4 years with art back in my life. I grinded hard in 2022 & 2023 to learn digital art on the iPad with procreate. Now that the basics are in I decided I needed to go back even further back and do more on paper again. I wanted to see what comes out just drawing anything without a plan. I noticed I lack skill for what I want to come out but I’m pleased by the fact I can now draw without references and even surprise myself with what comes out.

The relationship between what you want to draw and what comes out of your hands is one you need to balance as an artist. I’ve enjoyed my process so far but I’m now determined to master manga characters for this winter project. I want to be able to just whip out a character on the go and not get stuck with anatomy forever. This will be doable as a winter project if I were to draw at least 4 times a week. Let’s see how that goes, best to make it a habit. That’s tough though.

I’ve decided that the story I’m writing is going to take very long to be released as a graphic novel and before that happens I’d like to spray the story over different video games. I’m going into the art of videogames 😎 With many game ideas in mind it’s time for research first. Somehow I think a platformer is easy to make, but is it? Let’s find out in 2025 💥 

Special thanks to my ko-fi members supporting my art journey, you all keep me inspired 💜

Maybe not the smartest to put at the bottom of this post but oh well, I brought out a year mix of the music I’ve been DJing at events this year. With that I added my art as a visual with timelapses and sketches from 2024. Link here! 

Wishing you all the best for 2025, may it bring creativity and joy 🫶🏼✨ Keep on fighting for your dreams! I’m bringing my sword into 2025 and will fight off any demon thoughts telling me what I can’t do. It’s time to slay OKAY 🔥 Much love and light, Nova 💜
