My first onesie was published on 2013.03.02, and the thousandth was yesterday on 2016.08.15. This means that 3 years, 5 months, and 14 days, or 1263 days in total have passed, and I’ve drawn ~0.8 drawings every day of those. Not quite the quota I had intended originally, but not all too shabby either, I suppose.
In the post I’ve included a few pieces, starting from very old going to more recent, just to give you a bit of an idea of the progression. As mentioned on previous posts, if you want to have a more convenient look through everything than Tumblr gives you, check out the archive repository. The drawings I’ve included are:
1 - Initially I had intended this series to be “just shit something out” but naturally that quickly detoriated into “make the best thing you can every day”.
11 - This is my very first Touhou drawing! It was done on 2013.03.09, so I’ve been drawing diaperheads for a very long time now.
72 - Things looked pretty different way back then. My influences and directions have changed pretty drastically.
89 - But some things never change. Garden gnomes are still my jam.
154 - Some things really never change.
231 - I think this is around the time when I finally picked up Figure Drawing - Design and Composition and started on another anatomy practising spree. Really good book, well recommended by the way.
244 - And I think here is the first attempt at deviating from my current style. I was inspired by Fuukadia’s Shitenno! comic series. I also discovered Garnet around this time, but I had no damn idea how to draw sceneries, so all of my attempts at imitation ended in miserable failure.
305 - This is when I discovered the usefulness of fixed-width brushes. At the time it was very relieving since I could just focus on the shapes, rather than having to stress out over the actual stroke thickness as well.
444 - Things just developed gradually for a while. There weren’t any big shifts for a long time and it just started converging towards a more simple, straight-ahead style as that seemed to give me the least trouble and also looked pleasingly different.
