We're 2 weeks into the new year already, and since no one else opened this topic yet, I thought I'd do it ;D

So everybody who participated (or wanted to), how did the last year go? And what are your goals for this year?

For me, the last year whizzed by super fast. I continued my tutorial on anatomical drawings, and made great progress. To the point that I'm now regularly genuinely proud with my results, and enjoy showing them to my friends and family on occasion. I'm still not done with the tutorial series though, so that's what I'll be doing at least at the start of this year: legs and faces.
But hey, who doesn't ever take two-and-a-half-or-three years for a tutorial series that could be done in less than a month xD

I barely remember last year because it flew by too!
I tried pixel-arting a bunch of textures and UI. Looking back on last year, I've improved quite a bit so I'm proud of that. I haven't done much 3D which was unfortunate.

As for my goals, I want to see how good I can get with colors and larger scale drawings. So I shall create pixel-art Tilesets and scenery paintings to achieve that goal.
I miss doing VFX doodles too so I shall incorporate those as well.
When I'm feeling lazy, Ill practice drawing characters.

good luck to future us! -j 2026
