Practice makes perfect.

Many people have told me that I have a 'talent' for drawing, but this 'talent' that they claim I have is nothing more than high interest, motivation and practice. 
These people have also told me that, even if they started drawing now, they will never become as 'good' as me. But I have seen artists who achieved a level I can only dream of, in only a few years. 

I envy them, but they motivate me to keep drawing.

 Anyway, I wanted to tell you how I started drawing and I came up with that story because I had been going through some of my old drawings... and they suck. 

Either the people who praised me were blind, or they were just being nice to me. ...I believe it's the latter

HA! I'm so talented!

I don't even remember what age I was when I drew this, I think around 6 or 7. The only thing I would draw are 'pretty' girls, girly guys, ballerina's and mermaids.

Over the years, I became a little more knowledgeable about the human anatomy and I started to draw more with/from reference. I wasn't even drawing intensively every day, just whenever I wanted to and had the time.

Throwing in random old drawings, because I can.

After many years I wanted to enroll in my current uni (to study Game Design as a visual artist), one of the intake assignments was to draw a landscape. 

To be honest, this 6-hour-pencil-drawing-drawn-from-life is so far one of my best drawings ever made. It's also the drawing that got me accepted into that uni, so I'm proud to show you.

My next posts won't feature any more old drawings that I've already uploaded on Deviant Art, but if you really REALLY want to see them, click here. 

This post was just to introduce you to my current style that I'm trying to get rid of, because manga/anime is too mainsteam. And I apologize for the fact that I might have horrified you with the very first image I posted here. It probably wasn't what you expected from me. ^^
