HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
FOR REAL THOUGH
4 years!! And I've seen growth in proportions, anatomy, color, composition.. pretty much the whole deal! And man. Art is hard. Art is REALLY hard. There's no denying that, and I think as artists that's something we can all agree on. But sometimes... that old art you cringe at? It just shows how far you've gotten and how much you've grown!
Where was I going with this? Idk!
KEEP AT IT, MY DUDES
I LOVE U

Here's an icon of the same character 2 years ago: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/12748243/
My style has hardly changed, but I do notice an improvement in my lines, colors and shading. My friends say my art has improved, but I'm still not exactly where I aim to be. I guess that's just the life of an artist.
honestly I don't think anyone knows where they aim to be. It just kind of... happens? I sure as hell don't know where I'm going. Just trying to work on what feels good!
I have a general idea where I aim to be. I've always enjoyed the works of Orlando Fox and other toon artists of the same caliber. I always wonder how they're able to make their art look so... animated. It's hard not to compare yourself to other artists, but I also realize it's more important to be the best you that you can be.
but god youve gotten so good! i'm gonna have to get a trade or commissions from you sometime soon!
but aw man thank you <3 I do really wanna get into the swing of doing commissions again~
