I find it amusing seeing how people used to draw and compare it to how they draw currently. So yeah, go post something you did a year or so ago and something you did recently. It's also a really good way to make you feel better about yourself I suppose.

I'll start:

August 2007:

 August 2011:

 

The earlier, the better. >D

I'd love to use my portfolio for drawing class this year, but. Eh. That's not gonna be very possible until next May, so I'll just go with something else. xD

Also, I might go find this drawing I recently found from when I was like, five. And scan it up for lulz.

brb ridiculously long post. ^0^

A couple contest entries from late 2007, just after I joined Res. It cracks me up that I won the second-place prize of a Kioka egg with the first one.

 

Another contest entry, from late 2008. And I sucked things up and got it in exactly a minute late. Durrhurr.

 

If I recall this was done because of a random-Secret-Santa game, where I got Ping and her crazy-interesting dude. xD From the end of 2009, obviously.

The gaps are kinda part of this style I was obsessed with 'evolving' ever since the beginning of 2009. It started with angles.. then went to gaps.. and then we have this, with the whole 'line-widths' thing where every line is fatter in the middle. omg it always took aaaages.

 

omg there's shading the world is ending. 8Y I finally got to take a real art class. First day. Still-life of shapes under a bright lamp in a dark room. Aw yeah.

But yah. That's toward the end of 2010. I gradually gave up the whole style thing after I started roaming certain online art communities and picking up a more serious attitude about learning.

... I totally could have cleaned up all that grey sludge on the left, but. I don't feel like it right now.

 

 

... And then there's now. :D

I don't know why but this is funny and awesome at the same time. Like, seeing how people used to draw xD

Anyways, I wanna do a painting and sculpting edition to my time capsule xd

This is how I used to sculpt:

 

 
2007
I used to use this cheap foam clay I got from Daiso xD
 
This is how I used to paint:
 
2008

 

Notice the abuse of the blending tool xD

 

 
This is how I sculpt now (right click >> view image):
 

 2010
I used air dry (no fire) clay and made armatures out of sqewers (because I was too cheap and lazy to get wire)
 
 
2011
Using sculpey (polymer clay) for the first time. So it like, broke. I made a simple armature out of wire and aluminium foil. But I forgot to reinforce the legs. 
 
I have also become like, 400% faster. I can whip up a simple bust in like, 20 minutes. 
 
This is how I paint now:
2010
Notice me not using the blending tool at all.
 
2011

 

Notice the level of detail now xD

 

Yurp, a few years can do wonders. I personally think I didn't improve much between 2010 and 2011 as well. Something wrong with those years... Wait. Those are the years in which I began studying in IB xD

 

Oh yeah, and here's my animations:

Hey guys, I have an idea. Why not when anyone's feeling down about their skills you link this to them. I think it's very encouraging xD
