This is the huge journal I was talking about.
Be warned it's going to be huge. xD

January
[link]So, this was my very first doll of the year. I was pretty proud of it at the time; I had gotten the shape of Len's hair right. The outlines for the clothes were okay, but the shading was amateur at best. I randomly shaded with just one color..
Same for the hair. One shade, one Highlight. Not very interesting.
[link]Art Trade for Kairi, again, most of the same stuff as the last. The lining was pretty boring and so was the shading. My outfits were pretty boring too.
[link]Collab with Frank~ The lines here are slightly better, as is the shading. But the hair looks kinda plastic-ish. The lines are kinda bulky too..
[link]Looking at this, I think it's terrible. The Colors are bad, the shading is bad, and the lines are..bad. this was me trying to use curve tool and a mouse. I'm obviously not good at it.
[link]This is one of my better dolls of this month and when I was shading this way. I really like the way the hair came out still. the Clothing shading is okay, and I also put some highlights on these clothes.
[link]one of my better attempts with mouse and curve tool. But still pretty bad. I like the outfit design and everything, but the shading doesn't call to me. I think it looks pretty bad. And Everything looks kinda stiff..
[link]Curve tool. Yeah. ._. not much to say about this one, it's pretty boring. (Toshiro is still awesome though and is

's. )

February
[link]First doll of this month, and I was pretty proud of it. I made after coming back from a huge dolling slump =3
It was also my first try at a more "complex" animation, meaning I did more than just making them blink. I was proud of this one for the fact that I got his hair shape decently done, but..not perfect. Kai's hair always gives me a problem. Still one Shade, but two highlights in hair.
[link]Ah, this was the first time I tried to put a few more details in the outfits to make them more interesting. Still one Shade for clothes and one highlight. Lines are getting a little better.
[link]This is where I was still trying to add some nice little details. I also tried to shade eyes and skin~ the clothing shading is pretty random..and I can't draw hats.
[link]First attempt at glasses, and also..well, clothing shading is pretty freakin bad. XD with Random highlights.
[link]Lazy doll. Still some boring Shading.
[link]Another pretty boring doll with some random shading. ._.

March
[link]Possibly one of my best outfits ever, still loved by most people. xD I like the details and such in it and the colors~ <3 The shading is still mediocre.
[link]My attempt at a new style of shading, which backfired pretty badly on my part and made this doll look terrible. The lines are kinda sloppy and some things on it look pretty stupid.
[link]First attempt at something like a pattern on that shirt of mine. XD this doll is okay, but..meh.
[link]Oh my Sinra~ <333 This was my first attempt at ANYTHING near a mohawk. ._. The shading is still meh here. but getting there!
[link]My first attempt at base Editing. ._. The shading here is meh again, with more random highlights that bother me. Still can't doll hats.

April
[link]Tried shading eyes. Shiny. Shading is still pretty bad but I'm starting to make the highlights a little bigger on stuff.
[link]Lines slightly better, shading still kinda out there. Eye shading is meh.
[link]A doll I will probably always be proud of..this took me five long days to do, a few minor base edits. I shaded all the skin, all the eyes, and did more detailed shading at some parts. I still like this doll, even though I'm going to remake it soon. This was my most successful doll in the few months.
[link] Oh boy. I started my more complex shading here. two or three shades for the fur and two highlights for it. The hair is the same way, except with maybe one less shade. Still Shiny Eyes.
[link]Back to simple shading, not very good again.
[link]Lame shading. Bad Highlights. I don't like this much.
[link]First try at a "bigger" base. I think this came out pretty cute..<333 But still, the shading is meh.
[link]Bad shading and my lines..are pretty bad.

May
[link]Random shading. Things look kinda plastic. ._.; Still one Shade, one highlight. Pretty boring.
[link]This one is pretty cute. I like the dress, but..The shading is still pretty bad. X_X and boring.
[link] My shading is still pretty bad but getting better. The lines are getting okay too. Folds are starting to come up. ._.
[link]Another try at a bigger base. This one is pretty nice. Shading is still pretty random on clothes but it looks okay. The hair is bland though..
[link]A chibi for Emmy, this came out okay. The shading on the clothes is s tarting to look a little less random.
[link]Another Chibi for Emmy, again, shading looking a little less Random.
[link]Last Chibi for Emmy, the hair is pretty bad because I'm not good at Dolling that style.. ._.; But the shading is okay.
[link]Random ass attempt at something, I don't know. It looks really plastic like.
[link]A nice little portrait of my Vocaloid Boy..The shading is kinda iffy, but okay. ._.; Started using 2 shades, and 2 highlights.
[link]Sparkly eyes, boring shading. ._.;
[link]First attempt at curls, first attempt at adding more shading to clothes and stuff. Also started to use more palettes. Not my own. Shading Skin and Eyes.
[link]My Very First Four Yuu, Pretty bad too..the clothing shading is random. ._.;
[link]Another attempt at more complex Shading. This came out better, looks a bit nicer. Lots more shading than I was used too.

June
[link]Still trying some more shading styles, still simple. And random.
[link]Adding more small details again, still pretty boring Shading.
[link]Bad and Random Shading ._.;
[link]Nicer Shading. =3 The ears lack highlights. As does the tail~
[link]I like this one~ It was cute and soft looking. And the background is okay.
[link]The shading in the hair is nice. ._.
[link]the shading here is..ehish. ._.

July
[link]Another Four Yuu, Nicer Lines and some nicer shading.
[link]Tried a more anime esque Style to the hair, made it shinier.
[link]This doll sucks in general.. ._.;
[link]This little Baby right here is still one of my pride and joys. This animation is so..so wow. I can't believe I did this. and the shading on the doll itself is pretty good too.
[link]Not as good as the last animation, but this is still pretty damn good. I like this one and the shading is becoming less random.
[link]I don't even know. I didn't even try on this one.

August
[link]less random shading, things starting to become nicer to look at <3
[link]not very good..shading pretty boring.
[link]I GOT HIS HAIR SHAPE. WOOP. I like this one..It's cute, and the shading is nice. For the most part.
[link]The pants shading is terrible, but everything else was pretty okay.
[link]Lain is still one of my nicer dolls. <3 His shading is pretty decent everywhere again..except pants.
[link]Pretty boring but still pretty cute with some simply nice shading.
[link]Yay cute animation.
[link]Cute and quick little dollie.
[link]Blah shading again, but it's cute ;3;
