before i start!! shoutout to my girl @zigzaq. you're so so so kind and mature about everything and funny and weird in the best possible way and i'm so lucky & honored to be your friend bro!!! you're also one of the most talented people i know, your art is incredible, your animations are so clean, smooth, and well thought-out, everything you do is gorgeous. you're honestly a role model for myself (and many others) as a person and an inspiration for me (and many others) as an artist! thanks for being you and for being my friend haha :,) (if you're not following @zigzaq right now, please do that, she's amazing and i'll love you forever) now onto the project! i wanted to redraw my old meet the artist from jan 2020, but i don't want to post singular art pieces anymore, so i decided to compile all the times i've drawn myself (since around four years ago, which happens to be a lot). and WHEW boy i found some gems. i'm posting this with the hope that we can not take this too seriously and laugh WITH me not AT me because dang.... i was a weird kid here are the drawings! (i tried to put them in chronological order as best i could but they're obviously not going to be perfect. think i got the basic timeline right though) arrow keys/click to move :) 1. this is not ME me but it is my old warriors sona heatherstorm (yes heather. ahead of my times, heck yeah baby) and i wanted to put it in here to commemorate my warriors obsession and all the beautiful cat drawings i made during this time 2. heatherstorm redraw but scarier, why did i put blush on a cat 3. i screamed when i found this, it looks like a cursed child version of the girls from monster high, what was i doing with those eyes 4. screamed even harder at this monstrosity. hoo boy what was i thinking 5. not as ugly as the other ones (but still ugly) but seriously hope those tiny legs were a stylistic choice 6. ok 7. hair is not too bad but *points at legs* WHAT ARE THOOOOOSEEE 8. remember when i tried to be aesthetic? fun times, i planned to make this my banner if i remember correctly 9. ugly yet simple, an incredible feat 10. FIRST DIGITAL DRAWING!!!!! not too disturbing if i do say so myself 11. LOOK AT THAT NOSE u_u (for real tho this is one of my greatest monstrosities) 12. i don't remember if this was supposed to be me but it looks like me so we're calling it that. that anatomy is *ironic chefs kiss* 13. for all the monstrosities i made during this time period, this was not the worst 14. (TEMPLATE BY ) (REFERENCED FROM ) not the worst but not the best, partly because the design was not mine 15. sketch?? that hand is DANG but by all accounts, not horrible 16. one of the best things i made in 2019-early 2020. pretty good 17. AND A LARGE PLUMMET IN ART QUALITY, WHAT IS THIS, PLS DO NOT LOOK TOO CLOSELY I MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING HORRIBLE IN THERE 18. ew 19. i LOVED this when i drew it and it's not that bad but idk just a lil iffy :,/ 20. i would've been proud of this if i drew it now, i think that's a lot to say for early 2020 me 21. ??????????i look like a demented clown????? 22. this is weird 23-24. lineart is super shaky and that mouth is tiny and i cropped the canvas weirdly but other than that, ok 24-25. that right arm is WHEW and the legs & shorts are very off but all in all, cringey but ok 26. miku binder thomas jefferson, the sequel 27. realism! drew random parts of my face/shoulders (plus some spicy hands), pretty good 28-29. GIRL WHAT WERE YOU DOING 30. i hated this then and i hate it now but i can't put my finger on exactly what i hate 31. those proportions. hot darn 32. fixed the proportions for the most part (thank the lord) and i loved this when i drew it but now it just feels too stiff 33. THE NOSES I WOULD DRAW????
