Description EDIT: I like how no one's noticing how long ago this was made, and how no one has bothered to see what I've uploaded since then... lol



Once upon a time there was a little girl, known on dA as who lied about her age to join dA. Then she started tracing pictures, freaked out that she was going to loose her ability to draw super awesome pictures, and stopped coming to dA. Then, when that girl was old enough to be on dA without lying about her age, she created the account and made a comic because her idol did. When the comic wasn't getting any readers, she copied style. However, not long after quit dA and since she left because people were making fun of her art, it really mustn't have been so good. So that she stopped coping her style. And thus begins her journey of self improvement.


So guys, I kind of have a secret, this isn't my first dA account. If I have to prove it to you, I can go on to account and say I moved here, but I really don't want anyone from the old account knowing my new account. (I did a lot of things I'm not proud of when I was little) I was on that account until I was old enough to not lie about my age, so I moved here. Also, never copy people's style... or trace pictures and sell them. (Learned that the hard way on furry-paws...)

And I know why I'm in an art depression, as I call it. It's because I keep looking and super amazing artists, drawing a pictures, then thinking, "Yuck, my picture sucks compared to *insert amazing artist here* Ugh, I suck at art." However, they all started out where I am now, I need to practice and stop comparing my art to amazing people! I made this to show myself how much I've improved in my time here on dA.

And guess what? I might even color the last two pictures on this thing.

lol know all about th judgemental feeling lol , clean pice of paper terrifies me haha
thogh i love hording clean sktchbooks for some reason
the first digital drawing i made was collecting dust in storage for about 8 months before i declare it done

its easyer in digital caus u can change u whole consept or colors kinda easy if u feel like it
look less at other amasing artist and for heaven sake dont try making bad copys lol
be original , allways color a picture and work whit it until ur happy thats what counts , good artworks takes ages to make , in the begining maybe even months , try learn what u can about perspektive, light and shadow , and color contrasts lol , beeing an artist means ur allways learning
figgure out what YOU like in a picture what colors u like and make u own style

creativety issent somthing people just have , its like a mucle u gotta work it , eventualy its gonna work lik clock work , just practise tinking new try diffrent tings , whats the most crazy think u can think of and lett it go from there lol

when artblock happens studdying is a great way of getting over it , if u suck at drawing hands , make u self a chalange ur going to make 100 diffrent pictures featuring hands as u main char , they all gott to be fully colored bw , u have to go over u page whit u brush or pencil dosent matter what u do but no single part of u picture is allowed to b blank paper ^^

hope this is hlpfull , practise alott its the only thing thats gonna help , force u self not to give up on enny picture i know its hard lol but whit some effort its gonna be 1 of the pices u like the most , evry drawing is a learing exsperiense , try new stuff all the time dont limit u self to just the things ur good at caus trust me it will bore u to death
ur a great artist and ur gonna go far u just have to have more faith in u self and put in all u effort

Thanks for the watch.

I love being able to change the drawing around digitally, but I can't draw digitally, even with my tablet. I need to see my pencil connecting to the paper.

Well the only way for you to improve is to color and draw. Look at tutorials and keep up with the stock. I happen to go through stages like that but I have to force myself to do it anyway. You also have to remind yourself that the only way to get where you want to be is through work. My art is not great I have highish standards and I have to constantly remind myself that I am learning. You got to pull your self through this.

Being melodramatic about it won't help you improve either.

I wasn't being melodramatic... sorry if you took it that way... I was just mad at myself for being so judge-mental...
