Something I've worked on for way longer than I'd want to admit...
This is obviously not entirely my work. It was originally drawn by TKC2021, the genius artist. I took this little piece of his and colored it. Discussed it with him and hope he likes what he sees.
I wanted to color this artwork since it depicts a wood theme dragon and if you know me, you know wood is my favorite element in the Taoism… I love it even beyond that and wish it was recognized everywhere!
TKC did tell me that he does barely ever ink his artwork digitally, this is the reason I’ve lately been trying to instead ink traditionally with pencils. But he told me this AFTER I’ve finished my hard work in SAI. I experimented with it and I do admit, it is way better for drawing lines than other software, but I did figure out doing it traditionally is way faster and I need to get faster with drawing.
Well I had a lot of problems with shading and I still don’t feel satisfied with it, but I got so much to work on, I just decided to get it out as it is and have you guys see it finally. Hope you like it. Was also meant to be turned into a wallpaper, but I canceled that idea as well.

Listen...
A attempt is better then a waisted one. Consider this a learning experience. Its true that ive never inked my own work, physically or digitally. Thats something that i came about as a preference to my own personal style. What you did is still amazing, its solid work and a good place for someone whos a beginner like you.
In fact, its alot better then a good amount of the work i see on here. So don't think of this as a loss. You did real good on this. Thanks for using my work to help you learn.

Thank you very much.
I do wonder if I should draw more often... but I do feel sad... Am I wasting time making videos? Is it a waste to watch videos... so many of other people's art? I didn't make it to any college yet again this year... I don't have any job.
I feel like I'm wasting my life here somehow...

Hunny, for me its not that i cant be accepted to any school. Its more like I cant go to any school because of my living situation.
I think you need to step back and take a good hard look at what you do and if it really means something to you.
For me..my art is me...if i didnt have it...i wouldn't be able to stand being who i am. You need to find out for yourself if doing this is something you really want.
If you do, also remember that everyone, learns differently. Classes and courses can only get you so far. Its your own hard work and dedication that make any of it mean anything.
*hugs hard* Find your passion, thats all you need. When you do, you can take the steps to help guide you on the path you need to follow.
This is only a start, ive been drawing seriously for nearly 15 years now. And im still learning, and i love every second of it.

<Sorry for the slow reply>
I draw, I make videos... I worry I do mistakes...
I do want to get to some school, and certainly could in Germany, where the financial problems would be less existant. But I'm in quite a pickle... I wanted to find some art stuff, but I was adviced that it's "hard core art" and I should instead study something more in the design field. I'm really worried....
If I am to step back ... Well I'm drawing since 5 years only, so I am able to compare how my life was before I was even touching pencils.
I know I used to be very depressive (I mean.... even more than now!), thanks to drawing and the fandom, I met a lot of friends which helped me changed and gained more confidence.
But overall I began feeling nice having a talent (aside from mythological knowledge and foreign languages) allowing me to express myself.
I do like drawing random images and I will draw more yiffy stuff one day too, but I guess all together, whenever videos or images, I want to produce something people would like... I really planned my comic for a long time and feel embarassing it's taking so long to be made. I really want to make it reality. I think that's something I want...
The last days I did start to spend a few hours everyday on drawing... I try to make it into a habit. But it does make me feel ashamed... I should have been like this ages ago and had started to use geometrical shapes way earlier.... I don't even know if I should use references or rather not...

You shouldn't worry about what your habits were before. If you focus on beating yourself up for mistakes then you woun't make any progress as an artist or a person.
Take it easy sweetie, we all learn at our own pace. Who knows, maybe if you give yourself a break and focus more on the art and less on the mistakes you'd probably makes leaps and bounds.
As far as references goes, i use them all the time. Theirs no shame in it.
