Description I've done this a couple of times before, but I think this is my most proper one since the previous ones I've made were too early to be made? I mean, I had to cut the previous ones down by months instead of years So yeah, finally a proper one starting from 2010

... Damn this made me feel old

2010: Not much to say there, really. At the time, I was more obsessed with making stories than drawing. I only drew to visualize my characters.

2011: It was this year that I learned about painttool SAI and digital drawing. It was also around this time that I got obsessed with Persona 3- which in turn encouraged me to join a Persona RP group here at DA which made me want to learn how to use SAI. It's a chain that started with P3 ahahaha... ha... ha....

2012: I've been drawing with a mouse for a while then. I've also broken a lot. Someone suggested that I get a tablet, so I did and got a cheap one. It lasted me for a good two years. That said, getting used to it took me a while.

2013: It was around this time that I managed to join Morphos-Metaphor, I think? Or maybe it was later the previous year? Anyway, it's honestly thanks to that RP group that motivated me to learn and improve. Also my gallery ended up being filled with Yukino Yukino and Yukino.

2014: *coughs* Still thanks to Morphos-Metaphor, I've produced so much art. That and my many other RP groups. I think it was also around this time that I started doing commissions? So I made chibis chibis chibis and even more chibis. Doesn't show here though, since most of my chibi artwork were on another site.

2015: Chibis, chibis, chibis, and more chibis. It was (sometime) this year that I actually started working on a daytime job while I did commissions on the side. I believe I wasn't so productive that year aside from chibis (and I believe I've ended up improving so much on chibis =w="). But I still did produce non-chibi stuff after joining an RP group again after a long dormancy.

2016: I think I've become even less productive here... I've been busy with work, I've even paused doing commissions for more than half a year since I attend classes on weekends. I'm surprised I actually did stuff? If anything though, I don't think I've improved at all. I improved with chibis though.

2017: I've resigned from my job early this year and became a full-time student once more. I've started to get more active here on DA too (or at least, trying to). I've done some traditional art in class, but I didn't post them up here cause I don't have proper pics ^^". Speaking of traditional art, I'm surprised I could actually do it somewhat decently? I've always thought of myself as hopeless in the traditional medium, so I guess my knowledge in the digital media actually helped. But yeah, I think I've started to get more productive once more. After a dormancy in drawing (except chibis), I think I'm improving with anatomy and proportions? Lately, I've been able to draw poses I've sketched out without drastic modifications.

Great improvement!! :D Yeah, I find that doing digital art really helps with traditional art, even though it's a bit backward lol. This is really awesome/inspiring, keep at it! ^_^
