2024 Art Summary - Blog Posts
I wasn’t going to make an art summary for 2024 because for a good quarter of the year the only artworks I made were high school art assignments, but I decided it would still be fun to share those because I actually really like them and wanted to share art I’ve made that’s out of my norm. Like realism and clay. Honestly I didn’t draw an awful lot this year until September. I also thought I’d share some 2023 art to share my improvement in my art style, and more out-of-my-norm art….

It's art recap time! I had a ton of fun pushing myself this year from trying new brushes to different styles. Here's to more art improvement in the future :)
Thanks for being along on the journey of 2024 with me! 🎉 I have a lot of big plans, creatively, for this upcoming year, so I hope that you guys stay on for the ride! I started my first webcomic, Slices of Gremlin, in June of this year.
2024 Art Summary :DDD
On December 31st 2023, I decided that 2024 was gonna be the most productive year of my life, not just in terms of art but also just with life in general. I'd say I did a pretty damn good job holding myself to that. This was the year that I worked my ass of in school to make sure I graduated on time, got my first job, and officially launched my commissions (despite not actually getting any this year, rip).
One of the resolutions I set for myself was to finish at least one project every month, and I WOULD'VE actually pulled it off if not for school getting in the way. March and April were definitely the busiest months of the year for me. I almost didn't finish my October drawing because of my job but I pulled through last minute. Overall, I completed about 70 projects this year, give or take, which is ABSOLUTELY INSANE, especially for me because I work pretty slow most of the time.
The amount I've improved this year is genuinely insane to me, like if I showed my past self all the stuff I've made, I think I would have a heart attack and perish. I feel like I'm becoming the artist I've always wanted to be, and there's still an infinite amount of things I wanna do. My 80 page google doc of ideas doesn't even begin to capture it all.
I've been considering making videos on DeviantArt to maybe give advice to struggling artists, nothing super serious, probably just little 3-5 minute rambles to hopefully spark some motivation out of people, whether it be on how to draw something, or how to approach creative challenges, or even just life advice in general. I'm probably not the most qualified to be giving out serious advice, but after everything I've done this year, I feel like all the knowledge I've gained deserves to be shared (:
I may have one other thing that I finish before 2025 if I get to it in time but no guarantees, so that's all I suppose. See you all in a year HEHHEHWHAHAHAGDHWW
I drew quite a bit more than I thought, though I didn't have much for June or October that I liked. July and December definitely had the most drawings, July because of Art Fight and December due to my interest in sams/laes regrowing.
July and December had my favorite pieces (hence why December has three pieces, I couldnt just choose one </3), and I noticed I need to work on backgrounds more ^^' They're such a pain, but I really like the ones with backgrounds more than the ones without.
A bit late, but whatever!!! Here's my 2024 Art Summary!! :D
Aside from that autumn slump (and mediocre ArtFight turnout), tis was a pretty solid art year (shout out to the Sword & Sorcery Bang for really getting my art game up, especially in the backgrounds/scenery and posing department) 👍🌟
Individual pieces can be found through my art tag #charleedraws as always and now on BSKY as well (same handle as here @/charlythelee) ~
Also, another year full of zine fun, thank you all for the support on the Frieren, Trigun and MSBY4 zines 😊💕
