Now and then

[slleipnir]

For those of you who like to draw, or who do any type of art work (sewing, drawing, painting, anything. Even sigs if you want)

Post a picture of your earlier work, when you did it, and an recent picture showing how you've improved. I always feel hopeless when it comes to drawing, but I like to look back and see that I AM improving. I guess it's like a convidence builder so I don't give up

Here is the first drawing I did completely on the computer, first time using this drawing software. (This was around jan of 04)

Wow, you've improved a lot! Especially with shading/coloring :)

No one else? o_O

lol thanks, I only improved so much when I joined an art message board, that first one was my first drawing that I posted on the board, and ever since actuall CP artists would talk me through each drawing till I was able to do it myself :p but even they said they have never seen someone improve so fast lol
