Hello friends!
Here we are on the last week of the year, always a reflection time to me and sometimes it feels like that we all are just surviving in this crazy world...personally it wasn’t a terrible year, but not an amazing one too (there were tough periods), art helped as always.
And as art is what matters the most here, let's RECAP MY 2022:
I've drawn almost every day
joined Flower Magic Challenge
improved my digital skills on Procreate
12 days of pastels and 12 days of Procreate (focusing only in 1 medium is hard for me)
started the Ordinary Sketchbook (still ongoing...)
filled a sketchbook with brush therapy (this was a daily challenge that I shared on IG highlights)
made a tiny little sketchbook where Art Supplies Talk - video here, one of my favourite projects!
joined Sketchbook Revival 2022 (& stitched a skechbook for the very first time!)
began the adventure of A Blogletter :)
together with my artist friend Joana Dornellas we create a community ‘A Comunidade’ , a small group of interested and creative Portuguese people who support each other, discuss ideas/doubts and where we propose art challenges to sparkle our creativity!
I often tend to think that I am doing nothing but looking back I did a lot and I am really proud of it.
And now you may ask, what's next?
Well I have no idea and stopped making plans a few years back...to be honest I even don't like New Year's Eve but I made a list of 12 TASKS* to have some guidance for 2023 or maybe just because I like to do lists :D
Find your Creative Voice Fly Your Freak Flag! course (my priority)
Explore gouache
Black & White drawings for 1 week
Do a 15 day challenge
1 Pattern per month
Try a new technique
Don't buy new art materials for 3 months
One weekend offline per month
Drawing outside home at least 12x
Try a new art material
Order a sketchbook from The Sketchbook Project (and start filling it)
Advent project 2023.
* 12 tasks was inspired in the Day Zero Project - 101 Things in 1001 Days and I think is a realistic number of tasks for a year.
Let's go to 2023 and discover what's coming...
Before I wrap this up, tell me do you make New Year's resolutions? Any goals for next year?
Till the next time, wish you all a Happy New Year! ✨
