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)


I'm considering drawing an updated version of him too lol

And one I did a few days ago



Lets see yours!

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

[slleipnir]

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 but even they said they have never seen someone improve so fast lol

I did this one back in March


Done in 2003, one of my first color renderings. I have to laugh at how bad the eyes are now.


and of course you all have seen Minette (who is by the way back home with me. I picked her up Saturday. The gallery said they got a LOT of comments on her, but no buyers )


Miss Nicki too

[Suki Wingy]

look at all that high pass and filtering! (or maybe you can't tell and I did my work!)







do you guys think I have improved?

[Suki Wingy]

wow catnapper, I really admire your work! When I turn 18 will you draw my portrait tatoo of Niño for my foot?

[slleipnir]

Wow, you're selling those last 2 and no buyers? I'd totally buy them if I had the money, they're SO good. I love the last one
