my 2025 art summary! this year was the first time since i started learning how to draw that i've drawn at least *something* every single month. and most of it had to do with @sylessae.bsky.social's portrait bootcamp and mentorship. basically all of it, actually.

Here's my Art Summary 2025. It's been a year of learning, trials, error and insecurities. But also a year of making new friends, adventures and genuine happy moments.

Here's hoping to grow stronger in 2026 💪

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

The For You feed is going to be down while I'm upgrading the CPU from AMD 7900 (12 core) to AMD 9950X3D (16 core).

This should increase how many users it can serve by ~50%-100%.

If all goes well it should be back up in an hour or two.

Most of us understand that drawing isn't a matter of inherent talent, but aquired skill. I also think a lot about how your success in learning to draw might have to do with how well you handle frustration, and how comfortable you are with making mistakes. The barrier i usually see--

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

At the end of 2024, I finally decided that one of my 2025 new year's resolutions was to complete enough artworks to post a summary at the end of this year—and here it is!

Special shout out to @sylessae.bsky.social and her portraiture bootcamp!

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

A lot of artists are moving from ex-Twitter due to a newly implemented “feature” that allows everyone to edit uploading images/artwork using Grok. As such, it’s a good time to check out algorithmic feeds to discover and follow new artists!

The one I’ve been using is bsky.app/profile/did:...

On Twitter, anyone can edit your posts without permission, and of course, people will use this to attack, accuse, and spread lies about artists or anyone else! Here's an example: This removed the clothes, draw the bikini and my watermarks are gone too!!

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Just a quick example of two similar drawings of mine, one from before i took @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootcamp and the other one from during the bootcamp (Week 7).

Definitely encourage you to sign up!
