Description I'm being so productive, this is a third drawing this week

I noticed lately that my drawings lost their touch at the end because of my need to detail too much. I get so focused on the details that I fail composition So I wanted try to paint in a little more rough style and it totally helped! ^^ It's actually a lot easier and quicker, not to mention that you can get away without even drawing some things xD

Aiden is the only among my characters who's look I changed million times and was never satisfied with it. I think I killed two birds with one stone this time because I actually like this look and I'm pretty sure that I wont change it.

wacom bamboo fun m sized, Paint tool SAI, 9 hours of work and song from Naruto on replay the whole time ([link] ) It just never gets old.

Enjoy~

This is unbelievably well drawn, I'm so jealous!! How old are you? I'm 12, and I hope I can draw this well when I get a bit older. I'm sad to say my artistic inspiration has dimmed, and it's getting pretty thin. I'm lucky if I can think of something to draw that isn't too similar to another drawing. It's hard, living in a world where there are so many people better than you and it makes you feels like you don't do art justice. Haha, I'm sorry, I'm being sort of a buzzkill, aren't I? It's just really awkward since your problem was putting TOO much detail in your drawings, but mine is I can't put ENOUGH! But anyway, I really love this drawing. If you had or have any thoughts of quitting, don't. Your skills are too great to let slip away.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it
I'm 16 years old But that shouldn't bring your spirit down because I was waaaay worse in drawing then you when I was 12 XD Actually I was worse then you even when I was 14 when I actually started learning to draw.
I improved a lot last 2 years when I decided to go to an art school. But I didn't actually learn how to draw in the school because in order to get in you have to have some level of skill. So I practiced drawing actively for half a year and got really far by myself And I got in the school! Now I'm finishing my freshmen year ^^

I had the exactly same problem when it comes to creativity! But don't worry about it a bit, for me it came with time
I'm not sure if you want to learn to draw realistically or manga-like but when it comes to realistic drawing I can give you some tips how to start
I know it's a bit boring (and maybe hard at first), but try to start drawing from real life. Trust me, it's the easiest and fastest way to learn. Try to compare the objects; what shape are they, size, are they bigger or smaller then the other one, etc. Remember, anything can be a subject of your drawing! Maybe a friend in class or some grandma in the park, you can draw practically anything for practice!
And don't get depressed by looking at other people's drawings, instead try to figure out how they did it, try to figure out the the process and in the end try to draw something much better then them.
I believe that for drawing you don't need to have a talent to be good at it, not even 1% of it. It can be learned just as swimming or riding a bicycle, meaning everyone can do it But you have to be super persistent and believe in yourself as much as you can!

Hahah, I wont ever quit drawing because it will practically be my job and I love it too much to quit ^^

Aw, you're so nice and kind, thank you for being so sweet about my buzzkilling-ness. I began drawing in the manga-like style when I was 7, or atleast I think I did. I found a drawing from 1st grade and I can't say I knew what it was. I found one from 2nd grade not long after, and my anatomy was absolutely HORRID! The eye was sort of realistic, (more realistic compared to the golf ball sized ones I make now anyway! )but the problem was is there was only ONE. The head was squash-shaped, and the hair was just a bunch of scribbles. And apparently I didn't know I had elbows, since all of my arms were straight and stubby looking. Crazy, I know! So I'm happy to say I've improved over the years, but in those years realism has so NOT become my forte. It's the nose that gets me, and when I had to do an art project at school that had something to do with realism, I asked my mom if I could take a picture of her and reference it for practice. It didn't go as planned, and I made her look like a massive troll. On that note, I would definetly love to hear some pointers from you, seeing how your so good at it. But you learned how to do that in 2 YEARS!? That's it. You're officially my idol. I'll try to practice my realism skills over the summer! And thank goodness you're not quitting. EVER. Since, like I said, you're too good and can probably make museum worthy art by the time you turn 18!

Just keep practicing as much as you can and I'm sure that you'll be good just as me in no time, maybe even better
