Description

It's high time for me to show how bad I used to be hehe :D (and still am? D: )

The one on the left is what I could do four years ago. I got my Wacom Tablet around there, so I wasn't really good at using it yet, but seriously, the difference in quality was nonexistent compared to my drawings on paper. And I even thought I was good at drawing. I mean, people said I was good, so that must be the truth right?

Well it wasn't, obviously.

When I showed this to one of my best friends, I was totally crushed by his harsh critique. I couldn't even argue back because he made me realize how wrong I was. Of course I felt bad, but I also got completely new inspiration to draw. I seriously started working on my flaws and refining my art. And most importantly, he taught me how to see.

And this is where I'm now, four years later. While this is clearly a lot better compared to that old piece, this won't be the pinnacle of my drawing hobby. I'll keep up the hard work and aim for improving myself even further.

To artists in training I want to say:
Beware the nice comments, remember the critiques.

What were the critiques?

Heh, i always take all the nice comments with a grain of salt. As for critiques, I'm the biggest critic of myself, I haven't really drawn anything where I'm proud of myself yet.
