Hi there. :3

I rescently just took a look at my own art, and realized that in September, there will be 2 years since I first started to draw. Like, serious drawing. ^^' So, I ran through my own files, and collected some of them in one, messy picture. xD

http://iaza.com/work/090722C/proof41515.PNG

So, now I just wanted to see if you have improved too. ^^ At least, I hope I have. xD

Please, post links when you post pictures. If everyone post pics, it will be very image-heavy.

Also, it would be awesome to hear when you started to draw. :)

I started when I was 1 1/2-2 years. (Of course, I've doodled since..ever. ><) I I began to animate a year later or so. I never took drawing serious, until I joined BS in September 2007. I remembered I did an awful piece of art, that I back then, was SO proud of. O_o It's almost hard to believe that you've actually been proud of pictures that you did AGES ago, that maybe didn't were that nice. xD

Awesome improvement there!

I know I've improved a TON since I started.
These are from 2006 - Link 1 : link 2.

These are recent ones from end of 2008-now - Link 1 : Link 2.

(Also, you should upload your pic to imageshack/tinypic/photobucket because iaza deletes all images after a few days.)

I started drawing since I could hold a pencil. xD Well, crayon, pencils were too sharp.

However I didn't start drawing digitally until around august-September last year and that's when I started drawing cartoons too.

Here's one of my old pics. http://howldine.deviantart.com/art/Autu ... e-95252794 Here's what I consider my best from back then. http://howldine.deviantart.com/art/Art- ... 1-95897159

Around December I got my tablet and started putting more effort into backgrounds and such.

http://keilidhbee.deviantart.com/art/In ... -107709664
http://keilidhbee.deviantart.com/art/Be ... -109866024

And now I draw pictures like
http://keilidhbee.deviantart.com/art/The-Snow-121980141
http://keilidhbee.deviantart.com/art/Ly ... -125124536
http://keilidhbee.deviantart.com/art/Re ... -122112826

I also got back into drawing equines again a few days ago. :B Drawing other stuff is a good way to improve.

I think people improve daily, or with every picture they draw. As long as they are doing it 'right'. Actually learning, trying their best, like if you are actually trying to learn the anatomy of something then you will if you study it almost daily. Or even by looking at other people's art, or listening to the critique you get, you will learn new things from your fellow artists.

I've been on for about 2 1/2 years and... I shudder at the way I drew back in the begining.
I original started drawing dogs when I was about 5 then I went to horses, cats, lions and other stuff.
I started to draw digitally when I was 10. I then started to get better once I got on to BS, and before anyone sees the way I drew back then I will say this, I did horidly on most of the Anatomy....X-X

In the Begining: I was crappy

In Progress:Uuuhhh....I improved??

My art back in the day was.... shameful.

2003: http://kera.deviantart.com/art/Aerie-3282987
It makes me cry.

I discovered Oekaki! More ew ensued.
http://kera.deviantart.com/art/Squall-W ... er-5532649

Here, during my Oekaki years, I was told to give up art because I would never be a good artist and that my art makes the baby Jesus cry. By multiple people. Did I stop? No.

Then I got Flash. Did it help? ... not really.
http://necro-larxe.deviantart.com/art/Soreru-15974691

After much Photoshop abuse, I got better.
http://necro-larxe.deviantart.com/art/I ... u-51219945

And here I am now.

I really have improved in the last year. I've been drawing dogs and wolves since about March or April of 2008! And I've learned a LOT through more than a year. Here are some drawings that show how I drew from 5 to around Christmas 2008. (That's the "Now" drawing.)

http://baltosource.timduru.org/art/malw ... display=30

Plus, here's my character, Cyru. The top one is from around October to November 2008, and the bottom one I drew a few days ago. My style has changed so much! Sorry, they are really HUGE! :wink:
