This year was not so productive in terms of filling in sketchbooks, or making prints, but it was really productive in the making of artist trading cards. Midway through the year, I found again this hobby, and since then I have made 72 artist trading cards in total, and traded around 50 cards.
Below you can see most of the cards I have done, I have tried a lot of different techniques and styles, and overall it has been such a fun exercise that I will definitely continue this hobby going into 2022.
It has also been a great experience to actually trade my cards with different artists. Most people send the atc(s) with a lot of funny extras, like bits of beautiful papers, stickers, etc.
I have started a lot of other projects: 1000 pastel sketches (you can see some of them below), a tarot deck, large bird illustrations, etc. But I have more or less put those on stand by and have just been focusing on drawing/painting on my sketchbooks and making atc(s). Truth to be said I don't have time most of the days for much more.
It was fun to find this hobby again this year and it has been a new experience for me, I hope to discover more things in 2022.
Happy new year!
