First - In my old graphics community.




Last - Current graphics community.




Taking a look at my old posts the only thing I see is a mess, a bunch of icons with different styles, and I think is because I wasn't really paying too much attention on what I was doing and I just... Wanted to make icons, but don't really knowing how... If that makes sense. Now I think I'm much more centred, I think I've improved a lot since I started making icons, I don't recycle tumblr graphics anymore and I take my time experimenting and trying to improve in the techniques I know I'm bad at (text, blocking...), you can see PART of this years progression in this re-make post. Now I've started practising with the tablet again, and I'm experimenting with colours a lot more, with my compositions and of course with text. Personally I feel like I've improved a lot since my beginnings when I didn't even had a graphics community, and I'm quite proud, but I know there's much more things I have to improve.

It's really awesome when you can see and feel that you've improved a lot over the past year. It's also wonderful that you keep practicing on sharpening the skills and effects that you feel you're not as adept at yet. There's always room to grow and progress, right? BTW, blocking still freaks me out, so I'm right there with ya! :P

Yes, it's an awesome feeling, I'm not proud of most things I do in my life, so I'm quite happy that I'm becoming good at something! Well I'm sure we will improve in blocking if we put our effort :3

Same here. Not good at much of anything else besides reading and loafing around in front of a TV, so making icons that I believe are pretty makes me quite happy, too! Here's to us improving on our blocking skills this year! *raises a hopeful toast*
