2017:
Tumblr media
2019:
Tumblr media
Hello, my dear frog people. School has been kinda hectic, so I haven’t been able to post much, but I’ll be queuing up all I’ve done this past few weeks.
First thing I wanted to show is this redraw of some fanart I did when I still had to use a mouse to draw. I now have a new drawing tablet, so I thought it might be fun to look back at some old art and redraw it.
I used to be really into Undertale. It was what really got me drawing, and what got me back into writing, after I had lost interest in it. I used to draw tons of fanart, and this one was the first one I actually felt proud of, after spending God knows how many hours trying to figure out how to use the stupidly small mouse I had at the time. The original has... many flaws. The new version still isn’t perfect, but I really like it.
Anyway, I have too many post to queue up in too little time, so I’ll be going.
Toodles.

I decided to paint over an old drawing.
Here’s the old version(2018):

And here’s the new version:

I really like how it turned out! Here are some of the things I changed about the old one:
The anatomy was not great in the old one. I remember being kinda burned out when I drew it, so I didn’t want to bother with anatomy. Now, I tried to make it a bit better. I do think it looks more anatomically correct now. Maybe except for the dragon.
Speaking of the dragon, you could barely see him in the original, because he blended with the background too much. I think you can see him better now, although I’m still not good at drawing dragons.
I simplified the background a lot, to bring more attention to the characters. In the original, it made the image confusing.
Speaking of confusing, let’s talk about that watermark of a second. It sucks. I think only ever used it twice, because I was in the process of moving accounts, which had different names. Either way, it’s ugly af.
Those are just some of the things I changed, but I’ll leave it here.
I hope you like it.
Take care.

A quick sketch
Tumblr media
Sorry if the image quality isn’t the best. My phone camera is very bad, but I thought this sketch looked cool.
I hope that you like it.
Take care

I’ve been trying to get into digital art again lately. Unfortunately, my current drawing tablet makes that difficult. I still managed to make this painting though.
The character’s name is Jack. He was part of an old story I had. I might rewrite him some day.
Anyways, I hope you like it.
Take care.

Art Style evolution
Hello, I don’t know if there’s a similar challenge to this already, but I decided to try making one of those “10 art styles” challenges, but with my own style over the years.
It started as just a thing to get out of boredom, but ended up being much more.
Tumblr media
First I’ll talk a bit about the character I chose for this. His name’s Lucas, and he is part of a story I made some years ago. I ditched the story itself, but I still like the characters a lot. Lucas is a cat that was turned into a human because a scientist was lonely and wanted friends. They did become friends.
Ok, now I’ll talk a bit about each panel, and what was going on at the time of each one. By that, I mean I’m going to reflect a bit on my life at the time. If that’s not your thing, that’s ok, but if you’d like to know about it, carry on reading.
1.The first one is from back in 2015. At the time, I always said I didn’t like drawing, even though I had 3 sketchbooks full of drawings. Turns out I was just lazy. At this time I only drew for fun, and would normally draw my toys or my classmates.
2.The second one is... interesting.It’s from 2016. It’s based on this coloring book I had, but looks nothing like it. I started drawing fairies a lot, and no longer said I didn’t like drawing. I even tried selling my drawings on my school fair! No one bought them. My aunt would also make fun of my drawings, so I stopped drawing for a while.
3.The third one is from the end of 2016. I decided to grab my pencil again, and try drawing anime! Except I watched one tutorial on how to draw an eye on youtube, and thought I would be able to draw perfect anime immediately. Most of the drawings from this time have very bad anatomy, but for this I based my drawing on one of the better ones. 
4.By the time of the fourth one (2017), lots changed. Drawing and writing became a coping mechanism. I would focus on those imaginary worlds that I created to get away from what was happening in reality. It was a tough time, and I don’t really remember most of it, only the stories. Lucas was created around this time. he looked very different though. Every character I drew around this time was connected to the story in some way. I no longer drew random girls. Everything had a purpose. I still like the art style tbh. 
5.By the end of 2017, I was done. I no longer cared about anything other than the stories I wrote. It’s almost as if I lived in that world and not this one. At this time though, the depression I was in kinda started showing through to the stories. They started resembling more and more vent art. Around this time I created a story that would be very important to me. It still is. I called it “bittersweet”, and I think the original really showed how I felt at the time. This was a dark time, and the style reflected that. I rarely used color, instead using graphite or a black ballpoint pen. I don’t like looking back at this time in my life.
6.But hey, things don’t stay bad forever. Remember that story I was writing? It motivated me to keep going. And by 2018, my drawings were more colorful than ever. I started to try shading my drawings, and even had wrinkles to the clothes. It was not good, but at least I was trying. I then made a decision. I was going to try doing art as a career. I convinced my mother that the next year I should go to an art school. I got into art more than ever, and started taking it very seriously, which would prove to not be that good in the future.
7.A few months pass, and it’s going alright. I’m still experimenting with different techniques, especially hatching. Things start to slow down, but everything seems good and then...
8.Everything comes crashing down again. Summer started. That’s never a good thing. I started thinking that my art wasn’t good enough. My stories weren’t good enough. I wasn’t good enough. The people around me didn’t really help with those feelings. So, slowly but surely, I started caring about art. I couldn’t bring myself to finish anything. From this time, I only have a handful of sketches. I didn’t like any of them. I was staring to rethink my decisions.
9. I told myself I had to push trough. I had been accepted into an art school, so I couldn’t just back away now. My art looked kinda cool, actually. But I ended up stopping for the rest of the summer after making only a few drawings.
10. Now, there’s a lot between the previous panel and this one. Lots of relearning things, learning new things, a few story rewrites, etc. But, this is where I am at the moment. When school starts, I’ll be doing the thing I like the most: telling stories. I’m going to be studying film, photography and animation. I’m excited for what the future holds. It was hard to get here, but with the help of great friends (perhaps my first real friends) I got here. And I managed to relearn something I had forgotten: Art is supposed to be fun. You shouldn’t push yourself too hard to make things perfect. Some times things won’t look the way you want them to. But, in the end, this is just one panel in the art journey of your life.
Oof, that was long for a first post. What can I say, I get carried away easily. When I started drawing this I didn’t expect to be reflecting on my life, but here we are lol.
Anyways, thanks for reading until the end and I hope you enjoyed it.
Take care.
