3500 Pictures
9 years ago
ROOS. Yes, Roos. The more roos the better. Thicktails galore.
3500. That's a lot of art. I never would have guessed I'd have drawn literally thousands and thousands of pictures since drawing regularly in 1995, but it sure adds up. It's the streaming that really has kicked it into high gear. It used to be 10-15 a month was considered 'busy', but now I'm doing 6-10 each weekly stream. That means 30+ a month or more is more the norm instead of the exception. If there is a con that month, then it can easily be 50-60 pics for that month.
Dang.
And it shows in the style. You can only get better in drawing by DOING IT. Develop that muscle memory. Get used to drawing the shapes without concentrating on them. Start working on details instead of basic shapes. Gain confidence in your skills so that you know that you can draw it even before you start, seeing the new stuff as an interesting challenge to try out instead of dreading or worrying that you'll fail.
Go ahead and try it. Doodle. Keep at it. And just like in Math class, show your work.

For the beginner artist out there, do you recommend them finding an artist they admire, and eyeballing, if they become tired of the basic line and circles?
This applies to real world photos. Look at exercise, ballerina, sports poses, and draw over them to learn how it can work. It really does help out a lot.
Hard work really does show
