And here's the next one~

June 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106552784805/mandas-art-year-in-review-2014-edition-june

Blurb from tumblr: The beginning of this month was a quiet month in art for me, aside from a couple sketches and the color piece I did of Tutu above. But the end of the month? literally only the last two days of it?-were chock-FULL of art.

This is when I discovered palette challenges and using color palettes/limited colors to do digital art. And let me tell you? it was a ride I?ll never forget. I?ve always limited myself to the same sorts of colors when I color characters I?m familiar with. I didn?t expand or experiment much. Palettes changed that and it?s the single biggest change in my art this year. I love what it has done for me and my art and where I?ve been inspired to go with coloring after trying it. I?ll be exploring even more with it in the coming year, I?m sure.

Could you also do the one where there is one picture per month?
I would love to see an example of your work from all year in one area. c':

Your art is so pretty. <33

Haha, I'll think about it, but I can't make any promises! I want to get the rest of my monthly art review posts up before the end of the year. Those are a bit more important to me, since I'm reviewing everything I did over the year instead of focusing in on just one thing per month. If I did a lot less art over the year, then I'd probably do that kind of meme instead.

Thank you, though! I'm happy that you think so. : )

And after June comes...

July 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106579417845/mandas-art-year-in-review-2014-edition-july

Blurb from tumblr: This was probably my favorite month of art this year. Not only did I get REALLY into color palette stuff even more, but I also branched out from “just tutu stuff”, including some Lucas from Mother 3, Chase from Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, and Dahlia Hawthorne from Ace Attorney. I had fun with every piece that I did and of course gave myself and my followers a nice dose of Fakiru goodness, too. And I feel like I did some of my best and most creative work of the year during this month.

Fun fact: This was only about half the arts I have from the month of July, so I chose my favorites.

Next in line is---

August 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106638988965/mandas-art-year-in-review-3014-edition

Blurb from tumblr: This was a month of ups and downs for me, which showed in my art over days. I tried to challenge myself in the first half of the month with doing some “really quick 20 minute digital pieces”. It was definitely a challenge and I’m not good at speed art, but it was a great exercise I will likely do again sometime. Aside from that, this month had more palette challenges, a lot of monochrome, and testing with shading and lighting with more “severe” color changes and shadows (like the sunset Fakiru pic and the Rue palette at the top). I also practiced drawing kissing (with OTP of course), and numerous various Tutu sketches. I also tried a few palettes of my own making for a change (like the Fakiru piece at the top left).

I feel like the month ended on a bit of a low in terms of art quality and my mood, but after all the palette work I did over the last month or so, it was bound to start burning me out sooner or later. Overall, I’m still pretty happy with what I produced over the month of August.

September 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106650676675/mandas-art-year-in-review-2014-edition

Blurb from tumblr: September was one of those months where I just wasn’t feeling art too much. During that time, I did join a new forum (TBT) at the beginning of the month and that’s partly to blame, but the rest was really just me being uninspired. I had my “moments”, but not a lot of art to show for it and two pieces I didn’t really feel were good enough to post.

However, there is one big thing that stood out for me in accomplishments this month: I drew animal characters. And animals are the single most difficult thing for me to draw. I manged some Animal Crossing characters, my own dog as an AC character, and even a ninja turtle. I feel good about pushing those boundaries. And crossing those lines encouraged me to keep doing it in the final months of the year to come.

Wow I think my most favorite one is August 2014 because of the colors in each drawing. However i love all of them <3 Keep up the good work

Thanks so much! July and August were two of my favorite months in art this year, that's for sure! But I'm glad you enjoyed them, thank you~! : )

And here's the next one...

October 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106669813445/mandas-art-year-in-review-2014-edition

Blurb from tumblr: This was the month of… doing art of a lot of characters belonging to other people! Hahaha. I started taking some requests, an art trade, and commissions (with site currency) over on the TBT forums during this month. I also had fun making up gijinkas for Animal Crossing villagers that people gave me as suggestions, as well as Diana, Beau, and Cookie that I decided to do on my own.

There was only one Tutu art for this whole month, and it was an incredibly late submission for the first theme of Fakiru Week. It was probably my favorite piece of the month, though, so there’s that!

 

[Amissapanda]

Gonna get these all posted here before the new year hits, hopefully.

November 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106745334990/mandas-art-year-in-review-2014-edition

Blurb from tumblr: What a month! Usually nearing the end of the year, I start to get really unproductive in art. This year… it seems that just the opposite happened! November had way too many pieces for me to post, so again, I had to choose my favorites! I played with styles during this month and coloring techniques, as well. I even managed a full-fledged background, which I often avoid whenever I can.

I feel that this was probably one of my best months of art this year. I had a lot of fun with the works I did, both fanart and everything else. And I got to do a lot of OTP requests during the month, as well. Bonus!

 

[Amissapanda]

Last but certainly not least...

December 2014: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/106758558000/mandas-art-year-in-review-2014-edition

…To be honest, I’m still very surprised that it was December, of all months, that turned out to be my most productive month. I took on a lot during the month, from contests to presents for friends/family/followers. And I tried my best to push my limits as much as I could. I managed to get another palette challenge piece done, which is probably one of my favorites of the whole year, drew a whole ton of animals, Rule 63’d my OTP, played with colors and outfits, did another Zelink art after months of having no inspiration, and played around with my curly cue style in chibis, too. I even managed to finish all 16 doodle sketch requests that I had gotten and posted them up before/on Christmas.

This was an amazing way for me to end the year. I’ve had a fantastic art year and I’m really happy and proud of the results. Thanks for sticking with me all the way through, guys! I look forward to a new year of art, friends, and new experiences all around!

Final Total for 2014 Art: 225+ art pieces done over the course of the year.

A year well-ended. I look forward to the next. <3 Happy early New Year, everyone! I must sleep, since I have to be up at 6AM for work.

Can't believe it's been nearly 3 months since we've talked and somewhat became friends!
(and that the fact that Ness freebie you drew for me was posted on your September listing! Still loving it these days! >w<)

Just knowing we're still friends kinda makes me sparkle in the eye y'know ;u;

 

[azukitan]

You drew 225+ pieces last year?! That's more than what I have posted in my dA gallery, lol!! Keep on rockin', Amissa!

Time sure flies! In retrospect, it's not that long, but it feels like a lot shorter than it is. I always used to balk at that "the years go by so much more quickly when you're out of school", but it seems very true. I don't know where all the years have gone. It's kind of scary. XD

Nonetheless, I'm happy to have made friends with you and I'm glad you still like the Ness picture! Here's to a funtastic year to come!

Well, I also counted sketches, commissions, and things I hadn't posted. XD But yeah. I think I actually came out with less for 2014 than 2013, but it's still feels like a big accomplishment! (For the record, I tend not to put everything on DA. If I did, I can't even imagine how big my gallery would be. XD;

YOU KEEP ON PSI ROCKIN' TOO. Let's get pumped up for a new year of art!

Fun fact: I typo'd art at the end there as heart at first.

STAHP. IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR TEARS I PROMISE. ;-;

Haha, well, like I told Azu, a lot of it was sketches. So it's not as though all of them were full-color pieces. And I did a whoooole bunch in December alone as Christmas gifts and stuff. And hey, we draw when we feel the motivation/inspiration/spark, so no worries! One year (maybe this year!) you might have a super-productive art year. Some people even manage a drawing a day. I couldn't quite get to that point, though. XD

Ahh, please don't envy me! You have a great amount of talent in art and that's nothing to balk at! I wouldn't consider myself necessarily "intelligent", either. That's subjective. But anyway, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the arts and hey---you're just as awesome! Don't you forget that, okay?

Have a fantastic year and let's both work toward having a great year of art!

 

[Zane]

Does it please you to know that when one Google image searches 'Fakiru' the first thing that comes up is your art? 8)

Hahahaha. XD It's probably less because of quality, though, and more because of quantity. I've been drawing them like mad since I first saw the show in 2006. There's tons of great art of them out there, though! I'm surprised that a show that has been concluded for so long still has a strong, loyal, small fan base.

Awww, I'm glad to hear it and glad I could help you in some way! You're very welcome (and you totally deserve it)!

Truth be told, I'm off to a running start with art already, but... there's nothing I can actually post here. XD It's uh. Really bizarre stuff that's really embarrassing, sometimes NSFW, and weird and basically better off staying in the community it belongs in. BUT---I am at least arting lots! I promise! (Granted it's mostly all sketches so far. But. Still.)

I do have a sketch or two from 2014 that I want to finish yet, so I hope to get to that in the near-future. First things first, though, commission takes precedence over anything else I do for myself until it's finished.
