Just to show how much I've improved over the past year:

I got paint tool sai in january so have been using that as my program of choice now.
Jan - Squirtle was my first drawing in sai, it turned out okay i guess.
Feb - Tried to add more chars in and work on style, don't like this far too messy.
March - Starting to experiment with lines and colour, I didn't use this again until June.
April - April was a slow month, this is my only picture of worth :u I started messing around with using the brush tool for shading and have pretty much stuck with that.
May - This was my first huge picture 4000x4000! I carried on shading more and added in a decent background.
June - I really settled on a shading style here, began to use colour (harmony/complimentary) and use coloured outlines.
July - attempted perspective here and working on backgrounds.
August - Tried more 'actiony' drawings, really like how this came out.
September - This is my favourite picture of the year. I don't think i could've drawn this last year, I've worked a lot on my anatomy and shading.
October - This was just going to be a background but added in Leavanny and Sewaddles. I really like this, this taught me to make sure my outlines are dark enough.
November - A trad pic! This is my favourite one from college, I like the colours and although the comp is boring it looks nice.
December - First digital pic since October! I worked on colour more and settled on a new outlining style. Really like this.
I think I have improved :u
