4 days late, but better late than never, right? Thanks to all of you for an amazing 2017! It was a crazy year for me, with a lot of ups and downs and often feeling like I was barely keeping it together. I came up with a lot of plans that I didn’t always manage to finalize, and I felt like I had more ideas than I knew what to do with. Hopefully 2018 will be a year that I can focus more on getting stuff done!I think I’ll always remember this year as the one where I started giving workshops. I had written a lot of tutorials and done smaller workshops in the past, but this was the year that I started giving a comprehensive 2-day workshop in person, complete with assignments and feedback. I’m not someone who likes to get in front of a group of people and tell them what to do, so it was honestly nerve-wracking! But it turned out to be so worthwhile. I met some amazing people, travelled to beautiful places, and learned so much about being a teacher. I have so many ideas that I came up with while giving these workshops, which hopefully I can further develop this year!This was also the year that I kickstarted my second artbook, The Sketchbook of Loish. The response was overwhelming and the support I received was truly moving! I spent many months focusing purely on this book, writing the chapters and gathering the visual material. To see the campaign do so well made it so incredibly worthwhile. This year, the book will be printed and shipped out to backers. I can’t wait to hold it in my hands and find out what the backers think of the final product.And finally, it was the year that I managed to reach 1 million followers on Instagram, which is mind boggling to be honest! Being active on social media is really the motor that keeps my career running - I get to connect with people and be inspired by their feedback and ideas, and it also gives me the opportunity to generate income off of personal projects like my art book. Your support honestly means the world to me right now! So thanks a lot for helping me out, and sticking around another year! I hope you all have an amazing 2018!! -- source link
