Personal growth is an intimate journey, one that often intersects with the lives of numerous individuals - family, friends, colleagues, and even the author of that enchanting drawing book you revisited countless times during your youth. Yet, at times, life takes unexpected turns. We might experience pain, inflict it on others, and perhaps carry remorse. Regardless, these experiences leave indelible marks on our beings. Part of our growth entails acknowledging these scars and endeavoring to mend them, just like the art of Kintsugi. We strive to fill those scars with the most exquisite gold we can discover. This illustration encapsulates all that I've learned over the past few months about color, 3D rendering, and sketching—a testament to this new phase of my artistic journey.

My personal experience with growth and evolution is with my art path. After all these years of drawing, I can tell how far I've come and how much I still have ahead, so I tried to picture that, an old version of me starting this journey only with a pencil, a notebook, and a head full of dreams, with a more grown-up version of myself armed with a new set of tools and experiences back, aiming to the stars, cause as they say: the sky is not the limit

I made my illustration based on a compilation of happy moments of another birthday being completed and the feeling of the moment shared between special people, a happy family at a small party with just each other showing how important the family reunion is and how magical this moment can be, I created it with a Halloween theme taking advantage of the date that it would soon arrive, giving emphasis to the (magic birthday) part.

Our fateful journey begins in the boundless desert. Exhausted from the arduous path and eternal sands, the ancient tribe discovers an incredible space ship. It becomes their last hope for survival and a source of incredible evolution. The turning point in their history. The tribe builds their own town inside the torus-shaped ship. They start transforming, evolving, and living. In symbiosis with the ship, they redefine their architecture, clothing and transportation. Emphasizing their new stage and rebirth. This place becomes not only their sanctuary but also a source of enlightenment. They learn to coexist between the sand, the bright desert sky, and the ship. Countless new possibilities open up before them, the ship changes their lives and their vision of the future. My work is the encounter with the unknown, a journey through darkness to a brighter future. Evolution, like a river of time, transforms their essence. This is a story of growth and creative evolution that inspires and motivates us to build anew and transform our future. . . . Within the space ship, change was in the air, Their culture blossomed like a springtime bloom. Evolution of hearts, like a river flowing fair, In this station, they found their eternal room.

My 2nd entry for the Growth & Evolution. My idea for the theme was the Evolution of art, from cavemen art to Renaissance art, and finally to today's modern digital art.

¡Hola! Esta es mi entrada para el concurso 2023 XPPen Global Drawing Awards. Título del corto: Un paso a la vez. Cuando nos llenamos de valor para dar el primer paso e iniciar un nuevo reto en nuestras vidas, lo hacemos asumiendo todos los riesgos. En el camino tendremos que luchar y enfrentar cada obstáculo que la vida nos ponga por delante, cada error que cometamos en un aprendizaje que enriquecerá nuestro ser. Y cuando finalmente lleguemos a la meta, habremos dejado atrás todos los obstáculos e inseguridades que nos impedían avanzar, dando paso a una versión más madura y preparada de nosotros mismos, lista para afrontar un nuevo reto.

我是一位绘画爱好者，从小我就很热爱绘画。从儿童时期到青春期到成年我在不停的寻找自己所喜爱的绘画风格。在这条漫长的道路上我碰到过很多很多的挫折，也想过放弃。但是每当看到美丽的画作时我总会重拾信心，绘画是我一生最爱的事业。感谢xppen给我这个平台让我能把自己的想法和梦都表现在画布上。这幅作品我想叫它《追梦的香甜》。我比较喜欢动漫和游戏。每当碰到一个自己很感兴趣的角色时我都会很兴奋。在画面中我把人物梦中的角色表现了出来，有粗狂笨拙的，有灵动美丽的。也有一些古怪的~每个角色从造型到色彩都有自己的特点。在场景中我描绘了一个温馨舒适的午后房间。充满了暖色调。与梦中的角色所出现的冷色云雾产生较大的色彩对比。画面中热爱绘画的主人公在和煦的下午即使在睡梦中也始终在创作思考自己的下一个想画出来的角色，就像我一样也在不停的思考~哈哈。

There is multiple interpretation of this piece like journey and evolution of artists or explorations comes with time. But as an artist i wanted to make an art that represent our long journey and struggles. Passing scorching deserts, sailing in violent seas, climbing steep snowy mountans then reaching space. I wanted to show every season, different times and different vehicles. Some goes by walk and ships but somes uses zeppelins. Tried to show each struggle, hard and easy or fast and slow. For technical standpoint each picture sings a song but i wanted mine to play orchestra. Very diffrent and multiple elements compliments each other in single picture. It was quite hard to merge them coherently but i think i managed. I started desing with paper and pencil. Tried different approaches interestingly when thigs comes to evolution or developement my mind goes to elevation or hights. But some struggles and evolutions are vertical so i chosen diffrent route there. My biggest struggle with this piece was last circle. I tried around 8 different scene for this part but every one of them falls flat and loses its effect of 3d and prespective. So i chose more grounded option, drew Twighlight effect and it fit perfecly. I take into consideration of my composition with golden raio and my eye movement as old masters done. Enjoy...

The memories of turning 18 are still fresh in my mind. Time is moving, huh? awkward hallways of school to the world of adulthood, embracing uncertainties. Nerves and excitement, legally an adult at 18, but what does that mean? Embark on a shoreline or plunge into a big, foreign ocean? Invincibility fantasies were dashed by the age of 18. The young celebration was invaded by responsibilities. Hope appeared amidst the mayhem. The hope for a better future sparked a desire to learn and develop. Not all solutions, only bravery. Choices reflected a fresh viewpoint. College became the scene of evolution. Study nights transformed into friendships that continued to grow and develop. Dreams from your youth are now attainable. With each stride, the future grew closer. Evolution that goes beyond years—resilience in the face of life. The distance traveled is remarkable when looking back. Uncertain bar to accepting change and grabbing opportunities. Recall that growth shapes the fabric of life for those who are on the edge of it. Embrace it, trust in sunnier future. Life's journey, evolving to our finest selves, step by step.

I had several ways of exploring the theme of growth and evolution, and I fell back on what is fundamental for an artist, that is to say talking about one's progress in drawing. We all start from the same point, and it's up to us to believe in our skills to improve our work and achieve our goal. My drawing tells of my work which continues to grow and which continues on its path to always perfect itself. At the start of our journey, we all discover, we experiment, we push our creativity. As we grow up, we develop a curiosity about how to draw, we have a critical eye, and a freedom of expression. And the more we grow, the more we want to surpass ourselves, color, anatomy, animation, composition... we must never stop believing in ourselves.

Here's my entry for the Growth & Evolution contest! The theme resonated with me, as it radiates positivity and motivation. Personal development is something I value a lot, and witnessing XPPen's improvement over the years is truly remarkable! In my drawing, I aimed to capture the emotion of passion and motivation in personal growth, and to celebrate XPPen's achievements with bright colors and energy. Making this piece was a ton of fun! It made me push beyond my comfort zone, experimenting with new techniques and composition. I genuinely felt my art style grow and evolve with the experience, and I guess that aligns with the theme!

SEP[18]This is my 18th creation made in September 2023, and I am participating in this contest. The title of this artwork is "The Challenger or A New Challenge," which I took from one of XPPEN's essences: BRAVE!! This painting tells the story of an artist challenging a god of art to sit on the highest throne in the world of art or evolve into a new god of art! I added artworks created by humans from different eras, such as the Prehistoric era with the Moai statues, the Ancient era with Egyptian cats, and the present era with the painting you see now. The Moai statue is crying because someone has succeeded in reaching this place, while the crescent moon is angry because someone dares to challenge the god of art. The gold color signifies luxury, the blue color signifies tranquility, and the red color signifies anger. If you look closely, there are 18 pens there, which are a birthday greeting from me to XPPEN for its 18th anniversary through this artwork!!! I believe 18 is a new beginning!! That's all ~Thank you !! Canvas Ratio 18:9, Full Resolution 6200x3100 Pixels PNG, JPEG, PSD FILE, VIDEO PROCESS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED

Growing up means seeing the world evolve. I started from that to create this story about a little girl born in autumn. For whom a seed was planted. And who has been growing with her all this time. The branches are like desires or passions or even trials. They are created, grow, flower and break. but despite everything the tree continues to grow with the wind

As an artist seeking to transcend conventional boundaries, I present my entrancing masterpiece, "Garden of Wisdom" for this illustrious contest. This artwork delves deep into the realms of consciousness evolution, inviting viewers on a journey through an alien garden on an ancient, enigmatic planet. At its core, the artwork features an otherworldly mentor, an epitome of enlightenment and growth. In one hand, the mentor clutches an ancient tome, representing the profound wisdom they impart. In the other, they brandish a Scepter of Wisdom, an emblem of cosmic enlightenment. Around this central figure, a group of diminutive, curious alien pupils forms a circle, their presence symbolizing the interconnectedness of knowledge across time and space. This piece is a testament to the eternal quest for wisdom and growth, a pursuit that transcends our terrestrial existence. Through "Garden of Wisdom" I aimed to create an artwork that encourages viewers to embrace their own journey of consciousness evolution. This piece serves as a reminder that wisdom knows no bounds, and our quest for enlightenment is a perpetual, cosmic odyssey.

"under the stars" as i come from a poor background, we didn't have electricity or television or phones when i was young, so i used to spend my time reading books, and sleeping ob the roof with my family under the stars. that's what helped me grow. that's what taught me English (and many other languages), that's what helped me to grow and evolve as an individual. that's why i decided to combine them both in one drawing. done in clip studio paint, with many layers. image size is (3072 x 5175px) with a resolution of 300 DPI. so it's a large file size. i had to compress the size of the image a bit because it was large.
