==== Click the flag :) ( Art trade + sketch spoilers at the end oops, I'll be sharing a project with finished trades once theyre all done) ----- Although my art isn't where I want it to be right now, I have to admit I'm proud of myself for how far I've come. I used to be relentlessly bullied for my art when I was little. I wanted to keep trying though, just in spite of that. To this day I still struggle when it comes to drawing purely for enjoyment, since I'm so focused on improvement. As you can tell, I really didn't draw nearly as much during 2019-2020. It's one of my biggest regrets to this day, since I feel behind and have to make up for it now. If I have any words of advice on how to improve, it's this; Do NOT give up. Do not stop drawing, do not let yourself down. Don't be afraid to use references, don't be afraid to ask for advice or critique. If there's anything I could've told myself 2 years ago, it'd be those exact words. But also, don't let drawing become a chore. Draw whatever you want, however you want. Don't be afraid to experiment with styles or brushes. You do not have to stick to one thing forever. A lot of the time, the only thing that kept me from giving up on drawing was thinking about how proud little me would be if he could see how far I've come :') I know I still have so much to learn and I'm excited to keep learning and growing ---- It's super late and I wanted to throw this together for fun c: enjoy my weird hair clump cats ====
