Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this little process video of my salmon bear illustration! I used an ipad pro & procreate, plus my own brushes. It was so much fun making this and I hope to create more pieces like this in the new year. I also included some footage of my fox illustration from November. Happy new year & I hope you enjoy!

What are your art goals for next year?

[@hannymnsey]

my art goals in next year would be drawing clothes and backgrounds & accessory

[@strangeaelurus]

Mine would probably be to get better at anatomy, specifically human anatomy, and trying to understand forms. Also getting better with line weight and color.

[@OrdinaryLizard]

Basically study more! I want to improve in art in general, especially anatomy and backgrounds😸

[@anonymous_lamp]

Try to develop my artstyle, learn how to draw more landscapes and thing out of my comfortzone and overall being more positive

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

Enjoy my crafting more and not think about not being “good enough “ especially when I am told that I am better than I thought I could be.

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

Yep. This year im focusing on producing art projrcts i want to work on instead of making sketchbook art for the algorithm. Here's to 2024!

[@JKSKFilms]

I love most art but I especially love animal art, since it feels like all artists draw people and only people, if you get what I mean!! I love the kinds of scenes and critters that you draw-- they are so cottagecore and cozy :) thanks for being so open about your highs and lows in this channel, you've been a great inspiration to me

[@ChantelleArts]

that is the most adorable bear 🥺 lovely to hear your thoughts on your own art, hopefully 2024 will be a good year for us all ❤❤

[@JaneeNegron]

I just want to let you know that your art style has influenced my animation thesis project I'm working on! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@creativeandcoolstartwithc]

Jel ilysm and I get so exited every time you post!

[@JelArts]

That's very sweet thank you!

[@TheTyrori]

I'm so happy to hear you've had a turn-around with your art and how much you're enjoying yourself. I love your stuff! I've been going thru a similar burn-out rn and it's reassuring to know there's a path out even if i have not found that yet myself...

[@JelArts]

I'm glad you feel reassured! It can be tough but I think drawing whatever comes "natural" even if it might seem too "easy" can really help with burnout and sparking inspiration again. And resting! Rest rest rest when you need to.

[@liesbethartlife]

Best wishes for the next year !

[@a_m-wy]

That is such an adorable bear !

[@biggerweff]

thanks for droppin us a bonus fox too

[@xCielorosax]

I love the bear it's super cute! The fox is really cool too!

[@sandrajanssen7629]

Like the hat on the fish

[@pammcmillan8842]

❤

[@KeziaJoy-mu3ho]

I was looking forward to change my art style and I really really like your art style and i wanna learn more about it(hope you do a tutorial to it) and this bear was so cute💗🐻

[@lavender_bright9880]

My plan for this year is improve my mental health and work on my art skills! I want to do your doing I see many artists and I know that capable of the same skills but I'm just scared of failure..and not be good enough..

[@JelArts]

Improving your art is all about failing over and over... until you don't! I "fail" all the time when I'm drawing, but you usually only see the things I'm proud of - same with any other experienced artist. I wish you luck on your journey, and don't be too hard on yourself to be perfect!

[@huskytail]

Did you watch the Katmai bears cameras this season by chance? 😆 They have been a huge inspiration for me to draw bears and salmon this summer and autumn. Anyway, good luck with your goals for the next year and I wish you happiness and health to you and your loved ones.

[@AwkwardPain]

The way I tend to get better is by giving myself a project to do that will force me to do what I am trying to learn. I am going to be working on a pilot for a new series over January.

[@lynerichard5306]

I love the drawing of the fox. Will it be available as a print?

[@liesbethartlife]

Looking forward to this patreon print ❤ my art goal for this year is health related. So I want to do more but my lupus/artritis/depression won’t let me :( just been drawing a dog portrait as a gift for someone but it was a struggle after not been able to draw since mid November :( so yeah I hope 2024 will be a better year. Can’t imagine it being worst 🤞🏻

[@strangeaelurus]

I hope 2024 treats you well!

[@JelArts]

Hope you have a restful and fulfilling 2024

[@tranquil_mood]

i hope u would create like, how to draw like u (art tutorials)

[@Ana36377]

I think my current art resolution is to find my new art style. I’ve been getting a little bored of my current one and wanted to do something more flat but textured (my old style is a little on the 3D rendered style) - point of reference: think Ghibli, Breath of the Wild and Splatoon’s 2D art style. Hopefully I’ll be able to achieve that by the end of the year! I love the drawing of the bear! Every time I see a bear with salmon I share it to folks with the caption “Salmon Run”. It’s an inside joke between family and friends. It turned out so good too!

[@OliviaLpsOfficial]

Have you ever illustrated a book?

[@ScreemBean]

would love to buy these brushes and textures.

[@JelArts]

Glad to hear that :)

[@lenuska9]

[@JelArts]

I will consider it!
